9.8/10 Exceptional! (13 reviews)
Overall, we would recommend this hotel, as the stay was pleasant and the location is nice. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The cleanliness could be better. Breakfast portions were quite small and the selection was limited — it would be great to see more variety. It would also ...

High Street Barmouth Wales
Stay at this aparthotel in Barmouth. Enjoy free Wi-Fi, free parking and housekeeping. Popular attractions Ty Crwyn and Barmouth Beach are located nearby.
9.8/10 Exceptional! (56 reviews)
Clean, spacious room. Friendly check in. The continuous “drone” of something, maybe a boiler, throughout the night, making the use of ear plugs necessary, for a light sleeper, took the edge of our stay - room 1. There was no problem with the road outside or the customers from the pub.

Centre for Alternative Technology

Affording magnificent views of the Snowdonia National Park, the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) has for nearly half a century now occupied a seven-acre site in a former slate quarry close to Machynlleth. Easily reached by car or bus, and naturally offering free charging for electric vehicles, a visit here may be among the most rewarding and inspiring you could hope to take in Wales. Note also that the name is a little misleading now, as the centre has switched from focusing purely on alternative technologies to all forms of sustainable living.
