To Summarise - a word from the owners... The local area has so much to offer and you can have some amazing day trips, but we really love life in our little patch of Mid Wales and feel that you can have the most memorable adventures right here where the pace of life slows down and you feel at one with nature. Climb a hill, watch the sunrise or sunset, build a den, dam a brook, listen to the birds singing, play pooh stick on the little bridge down the lane, read a book in the open air, fill a sketchbook with drawings and paintings, the list goes on.

Llety Tanllan is wonderful. It is in a lovely location and is welcoming, spacious and well-equipped. The garden and the games were much enjoyed by the grand-children (and their parents and grandparents!). We had a truly memorable stay.
Rebecca
Lovely place, absolutely perfect for extended family of 10. Beautifully done out, lovely owners just next door. Beautiful peaceful location, 10 mins drive into Machynlleth. We loved our stay and hope to stay again in the future.
Jane
A must visit location the converted barn has been done to a very high standard you will not be disappointed
Michael
Beautiful location with stunning views. Wonderful, luxurious conversion with plenty of space in both Ysgubor and Beudy for us to get together and spread the 3 generations (18-82) through. Beautiful place to spend some chill out time and explore local walks and further afield. This was our second stay and we hop to come again. Thank you Rhodri and Elinor!
Susan
