Notes

  • We have a large parking area with gravel drive leading to a slate patio area in front of entrance. Entrance has two steps then no more steps on ground floor.Ground floor double bedroom - Talyllyn Room - has bathroom ensuite. There is a small step into shower. Bedroom has lighting of different levels. 15 inch television has remote control Sky Plus with teletext. There is a 32inch television with Sky plus in the guests lounge.<br /><br />Lounge and breakfast rooms downstairs are airy rooms with large windows and are well illuminated.<br /><br />We live in The Old Rectory so can be easily raised should there be any emergency.<br /><br />We can cater for most diets provided we can have prior notice. We can provide evening meal menus in large print.<br /><br />Guide dogs are welcome.<br /><br />Outside The Old Rectory is a very quiet lane - ten vehicles a day is seen as a rush! This four gated single tarmac road goes round to the top of the lake and was perceived by the Visit Wales disability officer as a great place for wheelchairs users as it is so flat and for those who are visually impaired as the sounds of the wildlife - both on, off and above the lake - are incredible.<br /><br />In time The Old Rectory owners hope to provide a purpose built self-catering accommodation for wheel chairs.<br /><br />We are equidistant between Machynlleth, Tywyn and Dolgellau - all are about 15 miles away. There is a very periodic bus service but we have an arrangement with local taxi companies - one has a vehicle especially designed for those in wheel chairs.<br /><br />Mobile phone reception is patchy but we do have a landline which we are more than prepared to offer guests. If arriving by train from Machynlleth or Tywyn we can easily arrange collection.
