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 »
Tal-y-llyn is famous for its fishing. In this short video Head Ghillie, Phil Wood, explains what this amazing stretch of water – under the shadow of the majestic Cadair Idris – has to offer the discerning angler. And regular visitor to The Old Rectory on the lake and keen fisherman Jim Christie tries his luck!
Professional photographer Adam Dorogdi is a regular visitor to The Old Rectory on the lake. This is his video about his stay with us which he then posted on Trip Advisor.
This HD video is a trailer for a much longer version which we show guests during pre-dinner drinks each evening. It was shot over 18 months and captures the lake in its ever changing moods. All seasons are depicted and last winter, which was particularly harsh towards Christmas, provided some spectacular snow footage. Many kindly say that the time lapse sequences can be very effective.
This is a tongue in cheek video about what we offer here at The Old Rectory on the lake. Many thanks to the talented Elderly Brothers – aka Will Morgan and Trevor Pedley from the West Midlands – who wrote the song and music especially for us.
This was the first video we made filmed in the early part of 2010 and shows the mother otter with her two pups just before they left the area to fend for themselves. It was shot over ten different early mornings and the best footage was achieved when the pups had caught a fish and played with it in the water. A great deal of patience was needed for this production!
