Just had a long weekend (24th - 27th October 2025) staying at Maenllwyd Guest House. We can't fault it. A very comfortable room and perfectly presented en suite. Parking at the rear is spacious. We had a motorbike and trailer with us and Lee was able to park both in the garage, at the back. Ticked a very large box ! Gareth's breakfasts were excellent Over 3 mornings we sampled the full Welsh, scrambled eggs and the beans on toast. Delicious coffee. Plenty of toast. (sorry not to have an extra morning to try the omelette!). Radio 2 playing in the background was the brown sauce on top! Just a lovely place to stay; homely atmosphere and very friendly hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to return and definitely recommend. Machynlleth offers excellent cafés, pubs and shops. I had time to myself while Lee had a couple of motorbike off-roading days and thoroughly enjoyed my time "mooching" Thank you Wendy & Lee Cherry Willingham, Lincoln

Lovely B&B in a brilliant location of Machynlleth. Glorious hills all around and plenty of places to eat/explore in the town. We stayed for the comedy festival and our room was perfect, clean, with all the expected toiletries & tea/coffee, etc. Gareth and Jane were very friendly and accommodating for what we needed. Plenty of on site parking and cooked breakfast every morning meant we left on our final day wanting nothing more. We will certainly be back!

Machynlleth is a fantastic base for Snowdonia with mountains, valleys, rivers, and sheep-country. The Guesthouse ticks all of the boxes, easy parking to the rear with a large garden, and Gavin does fantastic breakfasts. Should it rain it usually doesn’t last long and you can keep busy in Mach. There’s excellent Pub food, Indian and award winning Chippy plus a Leisure Centre if you’re feeling guilty

Excellent value and a smashing breakfast. I always stay here if I'm riding for 2 days at Dyfi Bike Park. Park my car round the back and never have any concerns about security.

Maenllwyd was a very comfortable stopover on our walk of Glyndwr's Way. It's just a few yards from the path but close to the pubs and restaurants in the town. The B&B is very clean, friendly and comfortable and we enjoyed a tasty full Welsh breakfast to set us up for our next walking day. It's very good value for money. Our host gave us helpful advice about where to eat in the town and was happy for us to leave our car on the premises while we were out for the day. We would happily stay there again and recommend it.

Great location and definitely met all of what I'd hoped for my stay in Machynlleth. Central for driving to the attractions I wanted to get to inland and further up and down the coastline. Super secure car parking at the rear of the residence. Room and Bathroom spotless with all the necessary provisions & facilities. Very quiet room even tho it's on a main road going away from town. Breakfast options are perfect and plentiful and Gareth presents the pre ordered hot selection cooked to a good standard. Good value for money and I would return. I have already recommended it for a booking.
