This four-bedroom former dairy sleeps eight guests. The Dairy is situated on the banks of the Dyfi river and sits underneath the famous Mach Loop. Being on the southern edge of Snowdonia National Park (Eryri), it is perfect for families, friends, and their dog, who love walking, hiking and cycling. Although the cows are long since gone, the Swallows stayed in residency. They are very active early mornings and late in the day. They have a short incubation period of 14 to 18 days, and their young can be seen taking their first flight between May and August.
Swallows are not the only things to fly above The Dairy, because it sits directly underneath the Mach Loop - A NATO low flying training area. There is no timetable for the flights, but they fly over most weekdays. Everything from US F35 jets, to RAF Typhoons, to Chinook helicopters, to huge 4 engined C135 transporters can be seen right above the garden. The historic market town of Machynlleth, with its Museum of Modern Art and Owain Glyndŵr's Parliament House, is 13 miles away. Dolgellau, 10 miles away, is known as the starting point for those energetic enough to tackle climbing Cader Idris. For the less energetic, the picturesque Mawddach Trail begins in Dolgellau. It runs on an old rail line for 9.5 miles along the southern edge of the Mawddach Estuary and then across the wooden bridge into the heart of Barmouth.
Want a quiet day? Venturing 19 miles to the spectacular beach at Fairbourne or 20 miles to the stretching golden sands of Barmouth, 18 miles to the sand dunes at Ynyslas, are all great choices. Visit the Dyfi Wildlife Centre, 16 miles away, to see the majestic ospreys. Telyn has laid 3 more eggs this year, and Idris will doubtless be seen providing fish in abundance.
Park the car and walk around to the front of this welcoming house and step inside. You will find the master bedroom downstairs with king sized bed and an elegant en-suite shower room. Down the hallway, you will find a fully equipped kitchen on your right and the living room/dining room at the rear which enjoys a panoramic view of the Dyfi valley. Upstairs is the master bathroom and 3 more bedrooms. The front room (red room) has a double bed and an ensuite shower room. The rear room (yellow room) is a twin that enjoys the view across the valley. The middle room (green room) has the bunk beds, a single bed and has been equipped with a TV and games console to keep the little ones entertained on rainy days.
Outside, there is a large patio with plenty of seating at the rear. The side garden is for those who like to cook out, there is a large BBQ hut and an 8 seater square picnic table to gather around. Everywhere has outside lighting, so you can enjoy the garden late into the evenings.
Mark and Catherine will be your hosts, they finished raising their family here and have plenty of local knowledge. The Dairy is the southern end of Tyn Rhos Barn and, whilst it is not detached, your privacy is assured at all times. There is a 7.2kW EV charger and a large PV array for those who wish to charge their cars from a green energy source.
