Those who really know Wales rave about the slice of countryside between Machynlleth and Dolgellau. It’s Wales at its purest and most tranquil – rolling hills, forests, sheep farms and high mountains. There are steep valleys too, and amongst the most spectacular you’ll find Tŷ Derw. It’s perfect for country lovers looking for high standards, good food and exceptional value for money. The bedrooms are well proportioned and finished in pleasing colour schemes. Everything here is spick and span, a reflection of Mair and Nick Godley’s fastidious standards. Having said that, Tŷ Derw has an informal, unfussy atmosphere – it’s a wonderfully relaxing place, ideal for exploring the Snowdonia National Park and nearby Cardigan Bay coast. A flavour of the country also appears on the plate, for Mair’s delicious cooking – breakfast and dinner – relies wherever possible on fresh local produce.
