Hen Gapel is a traditional stone cottage in Mid Wales, sitting in a lush green valley just 5 miles from the market town of Machynlleth. A sparkling stream winds through the south-facing enclosed garden and you cross a wooden bridge just to reach the front door. Ancient beamed ceilings and a stone inglenook fireplace with wood burner give this place real character.

The surrounding Cambrian Mountains offer excellent walking and cycling straight from the door. Tywyn Beach is just 13 miles away with miles of sandy dunes stretching to Aberdyfi. Wake up to birdsong and sheep in the distance. This is proper Welsh countryside.

Hen Gapel sleeps 4 as standard across 3 bedrooms. The king-size bedroom has views over the stream and countryside.
