About us
Gwyliau Beudy Banc Holidays is located on our family run farm, Cwmllywi Uchaf ,three miles from the historic town of Machynlleth in the Dyfi Valley. The farm has always been home to Dafydd and his dream of converting the old cow shed Beudy Banc , a joint project with Ceri his wife and his brother Peredur came to fruition in 2009. Dafydd's day job as an architect helped things along greatly and our first guests were thrilled with the splendid isolation and panoramic views.
Things never stay still here at Cwmllywi , and as well as brining up our family we were eager to develop the idea of creating a Rolling Cabin that could be moved from one location to another on the farm to make the most of the scenery. Our first Rolling Cabion was artfully crafted from a Hay trailer , long redundant on the farm. It was a joy to see such a transformation , and once the cedar cladding was in place Ceri, an avid collector of all things retro got stuck in with the interior. Caban Coch as it was chrisened due to its position nestling beneath Cader Goch hill withits quirky decor includes all the facilities you will need - no trips to an outside loo needed!
If complete rest and relaxation is on the cards for you you can just enjoy the views, but for those moutain biking adrenalin junkies amongst you Dafydd and son Gruff, keen mountain bikers themselves have created a 1.2km decent that links up with a network of trails in and around the farm. The trails are just as suitable for walking , and the treck to the farm's highest point will reward you with breathtaking view.
Our three Bell Tents are located past the wooded glade higher up within the farm's valley and we have again created a rolling unit that serves as a wetroom /toilet and outside campers' kitchen . The bell tent are pitched on wood decks made locally from wood sourced from the Dyfi forests.
