“ I am very curious about you,” remarked a caller recently,“3 different people have recommended you.” Nothing special only human” was the response, but you will find us heart centered and caring. The Hostel in fact is more like a very large family home with house guests.
On entering there is an immediate sense of intimacy and welcoming, the brightly coloured common room decked with paintings, flowers and crystals. Inviting sofas surround the log fire. Moon and crop-circle calendars add a touch of mystique.
For an ‘alternative’ holiday, to visit us and experience a true ‘Welsh Welcome’ in a caring, holistic atmosphere is what the place is all about - to chill out, reflect and find oneself. Insomniacs often find peaceful sleep and the place lends itself to creative inspiration. Library and mediation area are added features.Outside the landscape is truly stunning, while the gardens themselves offer various areas for tranquil thought, with a touch of Zen here and there. “Nothing special” but a visit may well be worth your while- even if it is just for a cup of tea.

Location and Contact

Location

The area is the Dyfi valley with the ancient town of Machynlleth, former capitol of Wales and now a centre for ECO-tourism. The hostel is 6 miles north of Machynlleth in the mountain village of Corris - just inside southern edge of Snowdonia National Park and close to the Centre For Alternative Technology. From Machynlleth (train station to Birmingham) take A487 north for 6 miles. At Braich Goch bunkhouse turn right down into the village for about 400m. At Slaters Arms pub, turn left up a small road for 200m and small community carpark is on the right. The hostel is the old Victorian school on top of a high wall a further 30m up the road.
