| Talbontdrain is THE place to unwind and recharge your batteries! - charmingly situated in a picturesque valley at the end of a long, narrow, winding lane, and on Glyndwr's Way. In less than an hour you can be up the top of Pen y Darren - solitude, tranquillity and a breathtaking panorama - Plynlimon and Cader Idris both visible. Hilary is hospitable, intelligent, a passionate hill-walker, a brilliant cook. You can sink into a chair in the cosy guest room, by the log fire, and read, or be sociable at the big round table - the evening meal is extremely relaxed and informal. Rooms are comfortable, simple, unfussy, tasteful. There are two characterful, well-behaved dogs, and chickens and plenty of more casual wildlife outside. We've been back fourteen times since first coming ten years ago! |

Our overnight stay quickly turned into 7 nights! Hilary provides informal hospitality and wonderful homemade cooking including special dietary requirements.
Talbontdrain location is just a few miles from Machynlleth yet offers a real away from it all feeling. It is a fabulous location with established walking routes right outside the door. It was wonderful to be walking all day and to return to superb food and a roaring fire. This is no ordinary B&B and Hilary is no ordinary lady.
We have found Shangri La and plan to return as soon as possible. Thank you so much Hilary. |

| I'm only eleven but have stayed at Talbontdrain 22 times! I just love it! I love the dogs, the food, the walks and of course Hilary her self! I've been coming since I was about two or three but I still haven't got bored with it. I don't see how anyone could be! I have made loads of friends and have always dreaded the moment when our week there is up. In my opinion, Talbontdrain is the BEST B&B in the WHOLE WORLD! |

Hilary was a wonderful hostess - the farmhouse and surrounding were breath-taking and our daughter adored the ducks and other animals. The rooms were welcoming, clean and comfortable and the breakfast and evening meal was delicious and so healthy! Coming from London our veggies and fruit normally have a passport! These were local and some grown in Hilary's garden! We really felt like we were visiting a good friend! We look forward to coming to visit again soon.
