The Grove is one of five cottages at Ty Poeth. Set in the heart of Wales, this group of cottages are in a unique peaceful situation, surrounded by five acres of garden with lawns overlooking the Dyfi valley on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. The River Dyfi and the Aran Fawddwy mountain range meet and lead out to the beautiful coast of Cardigan Bay. Ty Poeth is only about 10 minutes’ drive from the market town of Machynlleth - a busy place steeped in history, home to the world famous Centre for Alternative Technology. The beach at Aberdovey is within half an hour and it takes not much longer to reach the university town of Aberystwyth on the coast or to drive into the Snowdonia National Park and see some of the most dazzling mountain scenery in the UK.
The gardens at Ty Poeth were created a hundred years ago and have planted borders with a wide variety of plants and shrubs and an abundance of wildlife. There are four separate lawns, perfect for picnics on sunny days and for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Paths through the woodlands and along terraces are perfect for strolls or as places for children to play. Each semi-detached cottage is private with garden views.
The Grove sleeps 4 in 2 first floor bedrooms: one double and one twin which overlooks the lawn with its hundred foot Wellingtonia tree. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and basin. On the ground floor, the sitting room has exposed beams and a wood burning stove. There is a TV and radio/CD player.

Paula, David Kand Luke Oldfield, Widnes, Cheshire—The cottage was beyond our expectations and we all loved it. Gardens are beautiful and we enjoyed taking in the views and fresh air especially in the morning. This is a fantastic part of Wales and this is a great base for getting out and about. We had a really great time-Thank you.
Malcolm, Margaret, Thelma and Don Tyrer and Rossy, Telford, Shropshire—Lovely cottage, well appointed and lovely and warm. Rossy found lots of squirrels to chase in the Secret Garden. Views from the open terrace of the hills beautiful—did several sketches of the views to do large canvas when I get home. Also the cottage is in a perfect location for visiting locations of interests and the coast.
