About Felin Crewi Cottages
Where better to unwind than a watermill?
Felin Crewi is Welsh for 'Mill on the River Crewi' but a more accurate translation might be, 'Escape from the madness of the modern world in a soothing, 15th-century oasis.'
Set in a restored water mill, Felin Crewi is the perfect retreat. Beautifully secluded and yet easily accessible, our two holiday cottages, stable and caravan offer a calm haven to restore a soul bruised and battered by the modern world.
We know, not everything was awesome in the 15th century. Plague, burning people at the stake, poor broadband… There were a few issues. But one thing they definitely understood was tranquillity. They had it in spades. When the most powerful engine available is driven by water, you tend not to worry about the clock too much.
The original watermill, set between a shallow mill pond and a rushing waterfall, has been beautifully restored to provide luxury self-catering accommodation for 2-6 people. Original features abound: in the kitchen, behind a glass screen, you'll see the original cogs – the pit wheel, wallower and spur wheel that were powered by the waterwheel on the outside wall. Upstairs you'll find a comfortable living room with views toward Machynlleth and—as an unusual centrepiece—the wooden crown wheel and shaft for the grinding stones.
Bed linen and towels are provided.
In addition, the Watermill has a lovely outside seating area next to the waterfall, a BBQ facility and a large private parking area a few metres away.

Perhaps the most charming place to ‘hit the hay’ at Felin Crewi is our stable. Originally home for the local neigh-sayers, it has been charmingly restored to provide the high standards of comfort that humans insist on. It’s perfect for a small family and makes an ideal base from which to explore the countryside, or spend a day.
walking, cycling, or swimming. If we had to sum it up in one word, we would probably go for ‘snug’.
