About this property

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.

The best place to enjoy Wales
Our stay at Y Felin was fantastic. Ruth, the host, had told us it was a special place and this proved true in every way. The setting is rather secluded yet very easy to access (by car), the scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the house itself was a total delight to stay in. Everything is well-designed, with quality furniture and generous supplies for all our basic needs. The house, which is quite spacious, sits on a farm, so every day you are surrounded by peaceful grazing sheep and the sound of the flowing river nearby. There's no one else around to distract you. Hiking or more relaxed strolls abound as soon as you step out. And accommodations, groceries, etc. are easily accessible (about 20 mins drive). We would come back in a heartbeat!

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.

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

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Tudor

Host profile image
My name is Ruth and I own Y Felin. I grew up in the area, my family have lived in the valley as far back as the middle ages. I have a deep love of the land and locality and the diversity it offers and a wish to help others to enjoy this. I will manage your booking from start to finish and am happy to answer any questions you have about my houses or about the local area.

Why they chose this property

Y Felin was originally a working watermill used for grinding corn. It is situated on farmland which belonged to my parents and when the farm was passed to me in 2009, I made the decision to restore this beautiful house using local materials and offer it as a holiday let to those seeking some peace. It’s location next to the river and in front of the mountain make it a wonderful retreat and my family and I often come here. The house is still surrounded by working farmland which is managed by a great young farmer called Will Jones as we now live on a smaller farm near Monmouth.

What makes this property unique

Near to mountains and sea.
Walk to lake.
Surrounded by private land you can wander on.
Stunning views.
River literally on your doorstep.
Wildlife: diverse species and hares abundant.
