Beudy Banc - Machynlleth, Powys

Cwm Llywi Uchaf Farm, Abercegir, Machynlleth, Powys

Cwm Llywi is a 470 acre working organic hill farm located within the Dyfi valley three miles from the town of Machynlleth. The farm's topography ranges from wooded valleys to hilltops with spectacular views over the valley and beyond to the Aberdyfi Estuary and the Cadair Idris range of Mountains. In creating the fantastic cabin on the farm the owners aim to share the experience of living in such a spectacular but peaceful natural environment.

As well as creating their unique accommodation they have created a series of walking and mountain bike routes based on existing paths, footpaths and bridleways. All the routes start and finish from the doorstep of the accommodation and are suitable for all ages and abilities.

The new accommodation is provided by re-using and recycling redundant items previously used on the farm. An old hay trailer on the farm was re-used to form an unique holiday accommodation with all the features and comforts of the barn on a smaller scale.

In the area

The valley, centred on the nearby market town of Machynlleth, is a designated United Nations Biosphere, recognising its unique environmental and cultural status. The area is an international leader in green thinking, home to the famous Centre for Alternative Technology for 35 years. In the shops and weekly market, just three miles away, you'll find fresh local produce and a friendly natter with the suppliers.

It’s a terrific town, picked by the Rough Guides as one of the thirty essential sights in Britain, with great pubs, cafes and restaurants, a lively social life, the gorgeous Wales Museum of Modern Art and superb commercial galleries and craft shops.

Machynlleth punches way above its weight, being the natural centre of Wales - the reason why fifteenth century Prince of Wales Owain Glyndwr chose it as his capital.
