About this property

Stunning Welsh Farmhouse Overlooking Dyfi Estuary. 4 star with "Visit Wales"

Beautifully renovated 300 year old farmhouse overlooking the Dyfi Estuary and stunning welsh countryside. With the Dyfi Osprey Project just over the river, together with Ynys-Hir Nature Reserve, the house has a special attraction for all bird lovers. Kites and Ospreys can often be spotted soaring over the garden.
We have provided everything from fluffy towels, herbs and spices and pasta, to a basket of logs to help you enjoy your stay here. Although the house has a really simple, traditional feel we also have a Bose Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen and a music system with Blue tooth in the sitting room. A touch of luxury is a Nespresso coffee machine in the kitchen. The house has loads of charm from family antiques, local art and photographs, to furniture that we have renovated in keeping with the heart and soul the house. The garden has a wood-burning Chiminea for cooler nights watching the sun go down and a large barbecue for summer alfresco cooking.
Glan-y-Morfa is accessed down a well-maintained farm track, so you are definitely "off the beaten track", but only 10 minutes walk across fields and Talgarth Woods is the Plas Talgarth Country club, which has a great snug bar (Y Garth) and restaurant . By car the house is only 15 minutes drive to the glorious beaches and coves on the Dyfi Estuary and the delightful seaside village of Aberdyfi. Going inland for 15 minutes is the ancient market town of Machynlleth; full of interesting junk and vintage shops, as well as a great weekly Market selling fresh local food and crafts. There are numerous walks and bike trails up in the mountains and the notorious Cadair Idris Mountain for the more adventurous.
The area there has numerous walks for all levels and we have plenty of maps and books in the farmhouse for you to plan your day.
We welcome dogs (we even have spare bowls for them,) but please be aware that the house is surrounded by farmland, so they need to be kept under control at all times . No smoking permitted in the house.
The house has 2 large double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom and 1 bedroom with full-sized bunk beds. A travel cot can be put up by request.
There is an upstairs bathroom and toilet with shower and a 2nd bathroom downstairs with bath, shower and toilet. A large family kitchen with table to seat 8, plus a separate dining room that also seats 8 people. The large sitting room has 2 sofas and a new log burning fire. There's a TV with a digital box and CD player, hi-fi, plus numerous books and maps about the area. At the back of the house is a utility/games room with washing machine and tumble dryer plus a drying rack for wet clothes and a muddy boots rack. Bikes can also be stored safely here, as there are some great mountain trails up in the mountains. If you want to stay in we also have table football and a "Safe" darts board, together with numerous outdoor games: badminton, boules, and quoits.
The house is well stocked with a variety of family board games and cards.

Fabulous place for an old friends reunion

We are five friends and two dogs. Needed somewhere to meet differing wants. Three walkers and two not. Superb walks out if the door and near enough to the towns to keep the other two happy. Such a peaceful place with amazing views- and the bonus of the osprey nesting site just across the estuary. We all found this such a relaxing stay. The peace was fabulous and we all slept like logs. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. We hope to be back.

Relaxing get away

This is a big spacious farm house set in farm land. Stunning views, of the estuary and hills beyond. Lovely little garden. Great communication with owners. Cattle and sheep surrounding the property so tricky for walking with our dogs on the right of way across the farmland as cows had calf’s with them when we stayed. Well stocked kitchen great for family meals in, dishwasher and tablets provided. Great utility area with washer and dryer, indoor drying rack also. Two bathrooms one with bath and shower one with shower. Lots of great things to do around the area, lots of waterfalls, we loved the osprey project, Aberdovey is a great beach and town great for dog walking. We visited Aberystwyth 3 times for steam train to devils bridge falls, the escape room and to look round beach, shops and ride the funicular. We needed some down time and recharging and family time and this was a perfect holiday.

Perffaith!

House is huge but cosy at the same time. Really clean. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen - lots of everything. Weather not very good but still lots to do in the area. Osprey nest visible from house & garden - bring binoculars for a better view of birds. Wildlife all around. Road & gates were fine. All very sad to leave & hope to come back again one day.

Stunning cosy cottage

We have just returned from the Glen y Morfa cottage. I have to say 5 stars all round. Beautifully presented, cosy and well equipped with the most amazing views. You don’t need to leave the cottage if you arrive with your provisions. Wifi is fast and we watched the coronation on the tv. We also lit a chimenea outside. Aberdovey is about 10 minutes away where we walked on the beach went to the pub and picked up a very good Indian takeaway. Highly recommend we will be back!

Lovely property in a fantastic location

This is a really lovely old farm property with many traditional features but also modern updates. The location is what makes it special, on the northern side of the Dyfi estuary/valley a short distance from the river. It is reached via a farm track and four gates to open and close to keep the sheep and lambs in the right fields, and this adds to the charm and seclusion. We chose the property because of the peace and quiet and because it is surrounded by nature and wildlife. On the opposite side of the river you can see the Dyfi Osprey project with binoculars. Further along the other side is Ynys-Hir RSPB reserve too. Local towns Machynlleth and Aberdovey have good facilities and for the more energetic, Cader Idris is around 30 minutes' drive. We enjoyed taking the Talyllyn railway from Twywn to Nant Gerol and the Quarry Inclines Walk.

Weekend in Wales

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was lovely and the location was superb. The only slight issue was the 4 gates that had to be opened and closed each time we went anywhere but other than that it was wonderful. We also had communication issues with vrbo but were soon able to speak directly with the owners who were very helpful and able to resolve any queries so our thanks to Mark & Sarah.

Great place if you like to be remote with fantastic views. a

Loved our stay, the hosts are very easy to contact and relaxed, they have equipped the place very well, we cooked there most nights and we had everything we needed. There was lots of garden furniture, games and sofa space for all 8 of us. There is a track and 3 gates to open to get to the property so it is very off the beaten track. It was a shame but understandable that the farmer who owns the surrounding farm has banned walking on his land and that the local counrty club, a short walk away (and the nearest pub and restaurant) was not allowing visiting guests, maybe this will change again post covid.

Quiet rural retreat with kids

The property is lovely, located literally off the beaten track in an old farm cottage. We loved the quiet and being surrounded by fields. The kids could run round without any concerns. The house is old but modern fixtures and good wifi. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and there is everything you need for a holiday week. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend of you want some peace and quiet with shops 15 min drive away.

Great location with amazing view

We enjoyed a great weekend at the cottage for my 70 th birthday. The location is great, one really felt out in the country, esp going through the farm gates! Great views towards the Estuary, cattle and sheep in the nearby fields, we seen squirrels and my grandson with his new binoculars - an osprey! The grandchildren loved the freedom (after telling them the Country code). We never ate out, instead using the BBQ, the meat bought in a great quality butcher in Machynlleth. Two of us did go Yhsair Restaurant, the other side of the Estuary, which was prebooked for months and if you get chance to go - a great experience, ,We were lucky with the weather and mainly sat outside admiring those views or at the kitchen table. The lounge was cosy when used. The beds were comfy and nice quality bedding. Showers lovely. Would recommend but took some * off as the fridge/freezer wasn't very clean, esp with new Covid rules meaning later in and earlier out to cover deep clean and no welcome back despite told in email with directions and in literature in the house, saying took away the usual supply available of pasta, rice, herbs etc but you will still get your welcome pack. The owners did apologise and that i should have been informed beforehand. As it was all our party did not arrive the same time so i was able to text to say get milk, and bread. I would not have been that happy having to go out again through all them gates for a cup of tea! Great place though and has given me happy memories.

A wonderful oasis of peace and tranquility

We have stayed in many rented properties but never anything quite like this. The owners have thought of everything This is just not just a rented property this is a real warm welcoming home. Comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. A Big family kitchen, comfortable cosy warm sitting room and from every room the views are amazing . The only sounds are the call of the birds and sheep and the little local train away in the distance. Take binoculars and sit in the garden with a glass of wine and just soak up the atmosphere. If you can tear yourself away for evening out then do try the local restaurant in Pennal they are very welcoming and the food is excellent . There are many places to visit and beautiful areas to walk . If you are looking to getting away from it all and enjoying the countryside then this is the place.. We will definitely be returning .

Even Santa found this remote location

Glan-y-Morfa, built in the 1700's, retains its cosy old-world character, complete with 2 Inglenook fireplaces yet has been completely modernized. There is everything a modern cook could possily need in the typical Welsh farmhouse kitchen, including a huge American-style fridge-freezer. The 4 bedrooms are sizeable with good solid mattresses. Every window has a superb view looking out over the Dovey Estuary. The only sounds are birdsong and bleating sheep. You'd be forgiven for thinking you were quite alone until nightfall when the twinkling lights across the river are evident. If its peace and quiet you want then Glan-y-Morfa is the answer. Our family had a magical Christmas week in this idyllic place.

Wonderful cottage with amazing views across the estuary surrounded by the beautiful welsh countrysid

We stayed at the cottage for 3 nights , it is very private set down a long track . The cottage has plenty of space with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths is a prefect place for families to get together. There is Wood burning stove to keep you Cosy in the sitting room and a very spacious kitchen with a farm house table to have meals around.there is a pretty garden outside .

Beautiful house, remote, quiet yet everything you could wish for.

The cottage is exatctly as the photos show. Well equipped, good wi-fi, enough room for eight. If the weather is good there are sweet sitting areas with a barbecue. The gardens were well enough fenced for our border collies, small dogs could get out. If you want to stay in a traditional welsh farmhouse with fantastic views this is the place to stay! Cows and sheep in the surrounding fields, rabbits, pheasants and squirrels in the garden!! We were 4 generations and everyone enjoyed themselves! Hope we can come again!!

Wonderfully situated farmhouse

Stayed four nights at this beautiful and spacious property. It’s situation and outlook is stunning and though very private and quiet all the amenities one could conceivably require are nearby. The owners are easily contactable for any help and advice that might be required and the house is well equipped including kitchen essentials such as salt and sugar. We had exceptionally good weather for our stay so in fact we were rarely at the farmhouse in daylight hours being out and about exploring but it would certainly also make an excellent place for a leisurely break without venturing out much. Would love to return

Wonderful house in a beautiful location.

Wow! What a fantastic house. The location is stunning - totally secluded, with lovely views down over the estuary (and the osprey nest!), but also well-placed between Aberdyfi and Machynlleth which are both very nice towns with plenty of shops and places to eat. The house itself is just lovely; a perfect balance between practicality and indulgence. Staying at Glan Y Morfa feels like going to stay in the home of a very generous friend with excellent taste - lovely old furniture, a brilliantly-equipped and well-stocked kitchen, masses of maps and walk books, CDs and DVDs, games, beach equipment etc etc. It was hard to tear the kids away from the table football table, but when we managed it there was loads to do in the local area: beautiful walks up Cader Idris, Craig Y Aderyn and particularly Happy Valley just down the road; a trip on the Tal Y Llyn railway; a great beach for kids and dogs just outside Aberdyfi; the bird reserves and Osprey Project over the river. Communication from the owners was prompt, friendly and helpful at all times. I honestly can't recommend the house enough. We didn't manage to fit in everything we wanted to do, so I really hope we might be back some time.
