Ty Derw Country House - Dinas Mawddwy

A warm welcome awaits you set in the Dyfi Valley perfectly located for exploring Snowdonia

Enjoy the relaxed informal atmosphere of our comfortable home. Set in its own grounds, Ty Derw is a charming Victorian country house situated in the beautiful Dyfi Valley in the southern fringe of the Snowdonia National Park. The name Ty Derw means Oak Tree House and refers to the huge oak tree in the front garden. The tree, like the house, is reputed to be about 150 years old. We offer three en-suite bedrooms (two double and one twin-bedded) all of which have been recently refurbished to a high standard offering all the facilities you would expect - and if you can't find it, just ask and we will be pleased to help! Our guest sitting room is warm and comfortable and offers TV, CD, DVD player and radio. There are plenty of maps and local guide books for your use and we have a selection of magazines, books, videos, DVDs and CDs for you to enjoy. We are a licensed property so you can enjoy a drink before dinner.

Derw lies just outside the village of Dinas Mawddwy and is perfectly situated for a holiday in Snowdonia which with its glorious lakes and mountains is an area of outstanding beauty and a National Park. A short drive over Oerddrws Pass (Bwlch Oerddrws), one of the highest in Wales, brings you to the small town of Dolgellau which stands at the foot of Cadair Idris. 12 miles southwest lies Machynlleth, once the ancient capital of Wales and today a busy market town (market day Wednesday) which offers delightful shops and galleries (including Y Tabernacl - the Museum of Modern Art in Wales), good pubs and restaurants and, of course, the seat of the ancient parliament of Owain Glyndwr. The coast is not far from Ty Derw and about 20 miles away is Aberdovey, the jewel of Cardigan Bay. A delightful village, Aberdovey lies at the mouth of the Dyfi Estuary and has miles of golden sands, interesting shops and galleries and The Penhellig Arms - Welsh Seafood Pub of the year 2005.
