About this cottage rental
Ochr y Rhiw is a picturesque stone-built cottage in an elevated position, overlooking a river and woodland to the hills behind. This stylish cottage beautifully combines the contemporary with original features such as stone inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams. With bi-fold doors extending the width of the kitchen space, the elevated terrace feels like a natural extension that brings the outside in. You could easily spend all day here, admiring the tranquil views and the multitude of birds, attracted to what has to be one of the most popular feeding stand in Mid Wales.
Nestled in a private setting within the village of Cwmllinau, central to the market towns of Machynlleth and Dolgellau, as well as Snowdonia National Park and Cardigan Bay. Whether you're looking for a homely retreat where you can relax in style, or a base from which to explore this beautiful area with your family, friends or pets, Ochr y Rhiw is highly recommended. 1.2 mile to a village shop / cafe and pub, a great choice of restaurants and plenty of attractions nearby. These include the Old Parliament House and the Centre for Alternative Technology, Ynys-Hir Nature Reserve, King Arthur's Labyrinth and Corris Craft Centre, not to mention a myriad of scenic walks and cycle trails.
