Bwthyn Llys (Machynlleth Old Court House) Machynlleth

Bwthyn Llys is one of two cottages converted from the old courthouse in Machynlleth. It's in the middle of town, so shops, pubs and the train station are a two minute walk.

It sleeps three, in two bedrooms. There's one bathroom upstairs. It's got a 3 Star rating, so it's clean and functional. The ceilings are low in some places, and the doors are a bit shorter than modern ones. Just mind your head.

You've got a small, walled yard out the back with a table and chairs. It's enclosed.

Machynlleth itself is handy. There's a good market on Wednesdays. The leisure centre is close if you want a swim. The Owain Glyndwr Centre is on the high street. For a day out, the Centre for Alternative Technology is about three miles north, and it's worth a visit.

Aberdovey is about a twenty minute drive to the coast. You can get the train there too. It's good for sailing or just being by the water. The Dyfi Osprey Project is a short drive away, and you can see the birds from April onwards.

The cottage has wifi, a tv, bedding and towels provided. One well-behaved dog is welcome. There's on-street parking outside, which is usually fine to find.
