About this property

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.

There aren’t enough stars - an extraordinary find.

To say we loved this farmhouse is an understatement. Set off the beaten track, with breath-taking uninterrupted views of The Dyfi estuary, this farmhouse had everything we could have possibly wanted and more. It’s thick with charm while roomy and comfortable, has top-notch modern appliances, insanely fast wi-fi, all nestled among warm personal touches. It’s extremely stylish and generously kitted out, with enough to cook for, serve and feed large numbers had we had them. Every possible need was thought through and shared so that we could indulge in an authentic farmland experience, without having to take care of the lambing at 3 am. We partook of the honor system and used logs for the fire one night, and relished the heated slate floors in the mornings and on return from the dunes or walks. Everything is very well explained which adds to a great sense of confidence if you had any qualms about potential isolation. Above and beyond our expectations and we’d love to come back.

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Coldham

We renovated Glan-y-morfa in 2012/2013. It had always been my family's holiday home when I and my brother were growing up. It was pretty basic then, but we came most weekends and every holiday. My parents finally retired there when we left home. After my father died, my mother continued living there until she got older and found the upkeep too much and we took the plunge of renovating it. My brother and sister-in-law moved back to the area at the same time, so we still have strong ties to the area. It has been true labour of love and we have now retired to Shropshire, so we are able to look after the house ourselves.
I worked in advertising as did my wife Sarah, who now manages most of the rentals. Sarah divides her time between photography and making jewellery.

Why they chose this property

The house is in the most stunning location, overlooking the Dyfi Estuary. We wanted to make sure that it was still used when my mother-in-law moved out and also wanted to get it back to being loved and cared for. We have tried to keep the heart and soul of the house whilst also making it a lot more comfortable and accessible.

It is surrounded by amazing views and farmland, but is also only 15 minutes from Aberdovey's beaches and the great market and shops in Machynlleth. The farm house is located down a well maintained farm track, so the only traffic you hear is the occasional farmer on his tractor.

We love the area and all the fabulous walks around Cadair Idris and Dolgoch falls, the walks along the Dyfi Estuary, but most of all the peace and quiet and the views

What makes this property unique

What makes Glan-y-morfa special to us are the views from every window. Whether it is winter or summer, they are always changing and just lift your spirits.

When it gets chilly at night the Jotel open fire in the sitting room warms the house up beautifully. Although there is full central heating and underfloor heating in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom.
