Penrhyn Dyfi, Machynlleth

Penrhyn Dyfi is a Grade II Georgian mansion in North Wales, just outside Machynlleth. This five-bedroom beauty sits riverside with direct mountain and coastal path access from the garden. Perfect for large families or friend groups looking to escape without actually roughing it. The views? Absolutely jaw-dropping.

The property sits where mountains meet the Dyfi River, offering a proper Welsh experience without the wet tent nightmare. anyone who loves the outdoors can walk, climb, or mountain bike straight from the doorstep. Aberdovey's beaches are just 9 miles away. After a day exploring, you'll appreciate that hot tub even more nothing says "I'm winning at life" like soaking with river views and a favourite drink.

The accommodation sleeps 12 across five generous bedrooms: a four-poster king with additional king bed, a super-king room, one king-size and two twin rooms. Four bathrooms mean minimal morning queues (we've all experienced those holiday bathroom battles). The enormous kitchen has range-style cooking facilities, while the games room offers a pool table for those competitive types.

Nearby attractions include King Arthur's Labyrinth (15 mins), Centre for Alternative Technology (10 mins), Corris Mine Explorers (15 mins) and Ynys Las Nature Reserve (25 mins). All perfect for those "what shall we do today?" moments.

Penrhyn Dyfi offers luxury without pretension. Big enough for 12 but still feels homey. The hot tub seals the deal because holidays without bubbles are just everyday life with different scenery.
