The drive to get here is fantastic and the approach truly beautiful - The Old Rectory waits for you on the other side of the lake. The owners are full of enthusiasm for their fabulous B&B and spoil guests rotten - comfy beds with smooth Egyptian cotton sheets, binoculars for bird spotting and luxurious baths. Fabulous photos of mountains and lake decorate the dining room, there are views from every window to the luminous lake, and you can climb Cadair Idris from the front door. Return, weak-limbed, to a delicious, home-cooked meal and a bit of cossetting... maybe a wallow in the hot tub under the stars. Read the full write up here »
Our new video about the lake – shot over 18 months – has now been completed and is shown to guests every night during pre dinner drinks. It captures this amazing area during all four seasons and our cameras were out during a massive daytime storm and also a flood which blocked the road opposite us for a time. We are indebted to Sarah Breeze, a postgraduate student at the University of York who did the final edit.
Originally from the Llanidloes area, her interest in film developed at university, having gained a 1st Class Degree in English with Writing and Performance, before moving on to a Master’s degree in Postproduction with Visual Effects. Sarah says she was pleased to have been involved in this exciting project. “There are some stunning shots and I really hopes that the completed video will illustrate some of the beautiful scenery that The Snowdonia National Park – and in particular Tal-y-llyn – has to offer,” she said.
