We at The Old Rectory on the lake are delighted to be featured in Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay book. They wrote:

"The drive to get here is fantastic and the approach truly beautiful – The Old Rectory wants 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 Cader Idris from the front door. Return, weak limbed, to a delicious, home cooked meal and a bit of cosseting. maybe a wallow in the hot tub under the stars."

Just down the road from The Old Rectory - if the wind is in the right direction we can often hear the engine's whistle! - is Nant Gwernol Station where the Tal-y-Llyn narrow gauge railway ends its journey from Tywyn - so you can travel on it to the beach!

This steam service - staffed mainly by enthusiastic volunteers - regularly runs a complete original passenger train plus locomotive dating from the 1860s.

The Old Rectory is pleased to be associated with other attractions in the area. We recommend an underground adventure to King Arthur's Labyrinth and a visit to the Centre for Alternative Technology just outside Machynlleth is a real must for anyone interested in the environment and saving our planet. While in Corris why not have a ride on the small steam train there.

Hug a tree and then go to local tourism and community web site ecodyfi and the Dyfi Valley web site for more information.
