A dear little cottage with many comforts and a private garden, off the beaten track and surrounded by mountains, valleys and trees

The cottage is attached to the back of the main mill house which dates from around 1850. Downstairs is colourful and cosy with beams, slate flagstones, very comfy sofas, smart TV, a wood-burning stove and lovely views of the garden from the pretty window seat. The kitchen tucks in niftily under a huge beam and has everything you need for cooking, along with some basics to get cracking and a few local goodies.

Sleep soundly in the light, bright, well-proportioned bedroom, decorated with thought and flair – all you will hear is the gurgle of the river and birdsong. Find waffle gowns in the shower room. There's a generous patio with table for outdoor dining, a grass area with streams and ponds running through it – at different times of year you'll see ducks with their ducklings, kingfishers, dippers, herons and songbirds.

Llangadfan, two miles, has a pub which is fine for a pint and fish and chips.

Local points of interest from Susie Harrison:

Susie Harrison:

Visit Lake Vyrnwy, a 5-mile-long reservoir fringed by forests and surrounded by mountains. Don’t miss the hour-long loop to the beautiful Rhiwargor waterfall.
Hike the Minffordd Path to reach the summit of Cadair Idris. It’s a steep and strenuous climb, but the breathtaking views from the top are so worth it.
Aberdyfi beach is an incredible place to take dogs and have a blast of sea air; a seemingly endless expanse of sand awaits.
Book a table at the UK’s best restaurant, Ynyshir, where 2 Michelin-star chef Gareth Ward takes guests on a 4+ hour culinary journey, serving up creative fusions of Welsh ingredients and world flavours. Book ahead!
Simply hunker down, light the fire, grab a book & bottle of red, and enter into blissful hibernation mode in this peaceful, idyllic part of Wales.
Bring your binoculars to watch wagtails and woodpeckers in the valley; you might even spy otters in the river.
