Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Wynnstay, housed in a stunning building with rich carved oak interiors, offers a comfortable stay right on the high street in the centre of Machynlleth, making it easy to explore the town. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms and the very good breakfast with plenty of choice. Some guests have noted the decor may be more 'shabby' than 'shabby chic,' but many enjoy the building's character. With free parking available at the rear, it's also a great base to enjoy the local ales and is close to restaurants and pubs.
