The Gallery in Machynlleth, Wales is a charming cottage that was once a barn attached to a farmhouse. The loft where hay was stored has been converted into a cozy bedroom with a four-poster bed, while the conservatory entrance, once used for carts, now offers a lovely spot for tea and breakfast. The cottage features oak beams and floorboards, an open ceiling, and thick stone walls that keep it warm in winter with a wood-burning stove.
Guests at The Gallery have access to a 5-acre garden surrounding the cottage, as well as a washer/dryer for a nominal fee. The manager is always available by phone, and a site manager is present in the mornings and evenings. The cottage is ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway, with its old-world charm and picturesque views of the valley from the conservatory.
While The Gallery is located in a rural area near a river, it is just a 10-minute drive from Machynlleth, where guests can find transportation options. The cottage serves as a perfect base for exploring local attractions such as King Arthur's Labyrinth, Devil's Bridge, Aberystwyth, and Newtown. Sandy beaches at Aberdovey and Borth are also nearby, offering fun-filled days for the whole family. Overall, The Gallery offers a tranquil and scenic retreat for those looking to experience the beauty of Wales.
