Family-friendly holiday rentals in Machynlleth

We stayed at this lovely cottage for 3 nights and it was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. We explored the area and did most of the local attractions and after a long day we could come back and go in the hot tub to relax. It was exactly what we needed and couldn't want for any more!

We loved our stay with Nick and Charlotte. They were very helpful and made us feel very at home in beautiful surroundings. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub after a long walk in the mountains!

Upon arrival we were stunned by the beauty of the surrounding village and rivers the whole place is beautiful, we were welcomed at the air bnb with a nice bottle of champagne waiting for us on the table, the house was spotless and very spacious with 2 downstairs bedrooms with 2 single beds in each very nice decor and a nice homely feel also a downstairs bathroom with an amazing bath and shower and very spacious a living room downstairs also with sofa, armchair and tv, upstairs had another spacious bedroom with 2 single beds and another shower in upstairs toilet again nice size and decor, the upstairs living room is a beautiful space with an amazing log fire (all wood provided) very spacious and cosy there's nothing that hasn't been thought about here the kitchen is upstairs and has all the appliances you can think of with 2 nice dining areas, one dining area is based right next to a big sliding door leading you out to a huge decked balcony area with seating and a barbecue.

we had a wonderful stay at Carolyn's so peaceful. The cottage was clean and tidy and Carolyn was available if needed. Carolyn gave us a lovely welcome and showed us around the cottage explaining how everything worked.We had a nice welcome pack and information about the surrounding attractions.

A massive thank you to Louise for being so accommodating to me and my partner, allowing us to check in a whole 2 hours early! We really appreciate the effort from you. The accommodation was beautiful, a real escape from real life. We will certainly be back… hopefully with better weather! Thank you again Louise, this is truly a hidden gem!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. So calm and peaceful and just what we needed to relax! We bought our dog who loved roaming around the enclosed garden. Beautiful well equipped cabin and hot tub.

Without a doubt the best air bnb we’ve stayed in. Loved the layout, was well equipped with everything we needed. Was so peaceful & private too. Most definitely be going back. Can’t wait.

We had a wonderful time at the Ranch. Suzanne was a great host. She gave us clear instructions on how to reach her place and provided us with everything we asked for including the Hot Tub. Will definitely book again!

The accommodation is situated in beautiful countryside with good walks in all directions. Its spacious and well equipped which led to a comfortable stay. Rhayader is nearby with shops, pubs and restaurants, ensuring we had everything we needed for a good holiday.

We stayed for a weekend but would love to come back for longer as there's so much to explore. The annex is in a beautiful, tranquil location and was the perfect escape.

The pictures do not do justice to the cottage. It is very beautiful, very spacious, well equipped and all spotlessly clean. We did not want for anything. We will definitely recommend to friends. We used Google Maps for directions - "Doleos holiday cottages" is clearly marked.

Mirka and Rob were amazing ! The farm was beautiful! They were so accommodating! Even closed off a field so my dog who wouldn’t settle could have a good run and sniff with all the new smells! The stable was stunning ! The views of the landscape ! The sea! The sheep and cows were amazing! Spending the weekend waking up to this was so relaxing! Felt super safe!

We had a fantastic week at Aberdar. The weather was amazing all week, so we spent our time outside enjoying the garden, orchard and stream, and sitting at the various seating areas to avoid the wind if it got too strong. We only made 3 trips away from Aberdar.. a stunning part of Wales and it was hard to put the camera down. A pleasure to drive on the pothole free roads and we hardly saw anyone apart from friendly farmers. Our anxious rescue dog was very happy enjoying the space and he was relaxed all week, as were we. Aberdar has it all.. very clean and homely, very well equipped with everything we needed, useful information file provided for guests, beautiful views and loved hearing the sheep, cows and stream. If you are tall, remember to duck when going through the doorways.. we kept forgetting! This was a very special trip for us and we will be returning!

Beautiful cottage, exactly as described which made for a perfect week away. Lovely space for the dogs in a very rural retreat. Lots to do but you do need a car! Make sure you go fully laden with food and drink but otherwise you can switch off and chill.. Thank you Dorian.. we will definitely be back for more… just perfect ❤️

We had a fantastic, relaxing week at Amanda and Ian’s cosy cottage in Wales. The beds were super comfy, the temperature perfect, and the peaceful surroundings made for a lovely break. The cottage had everything we needed—well-equipped kitchen with all essentials and a decent freezer compartment, plus a great bathroom with towels, toiletries, a powerful shower and even a first aid kit. The welcome touches of traditional Welsh cakes, apple juice, tea, coffee and milk were so thoughtful and much appreciated. Shortly after we arrived, the Wi-Fi went down due to a local fault completely beyond Amanda and Ian’s control, but they were excellent—quick to contact us, visited in person, and kept us fully updated until it was sorted, which didn’t take long. Their warm, attentive hosting made us feel very welcome and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend this cottage and would be very happy to return for another peaceful and comfortable stay in the future.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at the cottage. Perfect location for walks and wondering around the local area. Thanks for the instructions Wendy in the guest book they were fab and very helpful.

We had a fantastic week here, the views and setting were just amazing. The accommodation was clean and cosy, Danielle and Tom were great hosts- so friendly and very very responsive and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! The kids loved the swimming pool and its long opening hours. Although there were other families staying in the other cottages it always felt very tranquil and peaceful with us often having exclusive use of the pool. It was great having a washing machine to use daily, as well as lots of other bonuses. We will definitely be back!

The accommodation had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable and it was a great base for exploring local areas. Host was attentive and friendly:)

Exactly as expected and hoped for. The cabin was at the top of the site and very, very peaceful. Beautiful surroundings. Liz's instructions were faultless and she was really helpful and quick to respond. The cabin is amazing, very quirky, retro vibes. All amenities worked well. We visited in beautiful sunny conditions so were out all day, everyday. There is a tv and plenty of dvd's and games if needed. Outdoor seating area which was very relaxing in the evening. Perfect location for trips to Cardigan, Aberporth and surrounding areas. The walk by Cenarth falls is beautiful and there are a number of pubs also nearby but a car is needed. The on site bar was open, spotlessly clean and run by a very friendly gentleman. It is a wooden cabin, not modern and not a five star establishment...exactly what we wanted. We absolutely loved our stay and would love to go back again!!! Thank you Liz! 😊

We recently stayed at Lake View Cottage and had a truly relaxing experience. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the lake and peaceful, natural scenery all around. The cottage had a lovely sense of privacy, making it feel like our own little retreat. The swimming pool was a big hit, especially with the kids—they had a blast! It was the perfect mix of comfort and tranquility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy quality time with family.

We had such a lovely stay last weekend. It was in the most beautiful location with a fantastic view. Would definitely stay again.

The farm was amazing and safe, the children loved feeding the animals in the morning, the swimming pool was great for a rain afternoon and the games room was so fun. The BBQ Sharon and her husband put on for the guest was a fabulous bonus, so generous and delicious. We will be coming back!!!

we really enjoyed our stay and made use of the hot tub which was an added bonus! Jo supplied everything we needed for our stay, including a carton of milk in the fridge, a lovely bottle of prosecco which was enjoyed by all of us. It was a home from home

Host was SO helpful & responded very fast. Place is very lovely, peaceful and lovely views from the decking & the main bedroom. Close to Snowdon too, thank you 🤍
