Converted Watermill With Beautiful River And Majestic Mountains On Its Doorstep

Follow the river to find Y Felin – a beautifully converted 16 century water mill in the breathtaking Dysynni Valley and Snowdonia National Park. Lying beneath the majestic mountain of Cader Idris and within walking distance of Llyn Mwyngil (Tal y Llyn), set into the hillside in a peaceful and secluded riverside location. Sympathetically restored to retain its distinctive features: the surroundings are light, airy and welcoming.

Fully equipped kitchen, great open plan living space with huge comfy sofas, a wood burner, and picture windows onto the stunning landscape. Large outdoor space takes in all the views and has table, chairs, BBQ and fire bowl. Fenced private 'garden' of approx 2 acres - please note the river is unfenced and there are short steep drops in the garden.

The house sleeps up to 8 guests in 3 bedrooms (please note the third bedroom is two bunk beds and not a large room). The master bedroom has private access to the river and a wood-burner. The house offers retreat, relaxation, natural beauty, fine linens and the perfect blend of quality time and access to activities. Nearby are thriving historic market towns including Machynlleth (weekly market and CAT) and the seaside town of Aberdyfi with its miles of sandy beaches, outdoor activities and yachting. Plenty of local leisure opportunities including mountain biking at Coed Y Brenin, fishing, kayaking, sailing, mountaineering. Or just stay indoors and watch beautiful, natural world go by through the big picture windows. Y Felin has very good WiFi (free), separate utilities room with additional freezer, washing machine and dryer.

PLEASE NOTE: The house and patio will be refurbished in the early spring of 2022, cooking utensils and patio furniture replaced in order to be in prime condition.

Amazing
Stayed at the converted watermill with my husband for his 50th birthday with friends. From the time we drove up to the property we were amazed how stunning it was aswell as the location, the views were out of this world and the perfect place to relax and unwind which was exactly what we wanted.Extremely well equipped with everything you require for your stay and Ruth the owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be rebookung at some point next year it was just magical thankyou Ruth.

A slice of heaven
I cannot tell you how much we all needed this space. We're collectively kicking ourselves that we didn't book for longer, but hey, it's a damn good excuse to come back (as soon as humanely possible). Surrounded by woodlands, hills and water is easily the best place to be and I think we've found a 'forever' holiday get away here. Everything was perfect.

Perfect little gem!
The location and accommodation was perfect for what we were looking for. Although it was lambing season and it limited us to where we could walk with the dogs it was the right time of year to walk them on the nearby beaches! If you need a comfortable homely get away from it all place to stay, then this is the place to go. Highly recommended.

Great location, very bad cleanliness
The place itself could be really nice (the location is fantastic) but it is just really dirty almost everywhere. The beds and pillows were horrible and the floors just as bad. The kitchen needs a bit of care and attention and the fridge doesn't keep the food cold. All in all we were very pleased to leave at the end of the week. In fairness to the owner we did report the pillows and they were replaced the next day but the other bits we didn't bother as this would need a proper amount of attention to put right. I would not stay here if you like things to be clean.

Gem of a property
What a wonderful stay in this hidden gem of a property in an idyllic location. The property is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. Wood burners add the perfect cosy touch. The views all around are beautiful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. We hope to go back soon x

Breathtaking
Ruth’s property was incredible, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and even extended an additional night. The property and location was fantastic and couldn’t have asked for more, we brought our dog who also enjoyed the area and walks. Will definitely be returning for another visit as it ticked all the boxes for our holiday.

Great Stay
A great long weekend, very lucky with some sunny and dry weather. Cycled the Mawddach Trail, visited local villages and towns (although some things were closed as out of season). The property is well furnished and the photos don’t do the location or the quality of the property justice, very private and peaceful with amazing river and Mountain views. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house in stunning location
We loved our stay at Y Felin, only wish it had been longer. Beautiful, spacious house (the pics don’t do it justice at all!) in a breathtaking location. Being by the river was magical, the children adored it. Lots to see and explore in the area. We are already planning a return trip.

Spectacular views and surrounds
Awesome views of mountains from picture windows with river frontage. Isolated location but brilliantly located for walking. Local towns a short drive away for all your essentials. Ideal for keen walkers and nature lovers - otters in river next to house and loads of birdlife. House is inverted - lounge really spacious with well equipped kitchen. Perfect retreat for those rainy days with good WiFi
