Experience the dramatic scenery of Mid Wales in all its glory at this old hayloft conversion. Located in the wildlife-rich Dyfi Valley, there's a real sense of isolation here, with what feels like all the time in the world to soak up those incredible views. Vast oak beams, local slate and exposed stone features hark back to the building's former life as a hayloft. This home can optionally be split into two: each half has two or three bedrooms apiece, a kitchen and a living and dining areas. We think it works well for two independent families travelling together. The prime attraction here is if course getting out into the great outdoors. There's hiking, cycling, pony riding, golfing and bird-watching to pick from (the RSBP Ynys-hir national reserve is close by). The vibrant market town of Machynlleth – home to antique stores, bookshops, art galleries and Wales’ original 15th century parliament (now a museum) – is also just a short drive away. On your return, warm up beside the log burner or pop open the bubbly and fire up the barbecue for an alfresco meal overlooking the Cambrian Mountains.
