The Royston

A former Victorian gentleman’s residence which has been tastefully updated; sleep well in comfortable rooms full of original art and designer furniture – some have views over the Cambrian mountains, others look over the garden and big veg patch which provides much of what you eat. Breakfast on fresh eggs from their hens with your cooked breakfast or seasonal homegrown rhubarb compote with homemade granola.

There’s much to do in glorious countryside and welcoming hosts Clive and Rob can help you plan: wander 10 acres of pasture, fields and gardens, set off for gentle walks straight from the door (bring your dog too), drive to Cadair Idris for mountain hiking and a tough bike route to the summit – you’ll have brilliant lake views on a clear day. Aberdyfi and the coast is 20 miles.

Order a delicious homemade dinner – perhaps pizza with wild garlic pesto or a lamb and feta burger followed by a Welsh cheese board. Enjoy a sundowner in the garden, stargaze around the fire pit or snuggle up around the log burner with a home brewed sloe gin or vodka from the honesty bar.
