Company information

Visit our website (search for "The Old Vicarage B&B Corris") to see more information on the fantastic area and all of the additional tours and adventures you can add onto your booking! We moved to Corris, from our careers and homes in London, looking to be closer to family, a slower pace of life and beautiful surroundings. We took our previous experience in hospitality and combined that with the opportunity to share with our guests the history and beauty of our home. We pride ourselves on adding ‘little touches’ that make a stay at The Old Vicarage special. We are looking forward to spoiling you during your stay at The Old Vicarage B&B.

Property information

Hi friends, We're Kirsty & Gareth, and we are very proud to call The Old Vicarage our home. She is a beautiful old slate building, in Welsh ‘Yr Hen Ficerdy’, built in 1875, beside a little stream and fits handsomely in our forest backdrop. We are situated in the beautiful Dulas valley, surrounded by dramatic scenery and lots of options for adventure. It is an ideal location for walkers, mountain bikers, photographers, plane and train enthusiasts, to name a few. From the breakfast room you can observe the puff of steam from the passing Corris steam train, watch the jets perform mid week training down the Mach Loop, unwind after a hike up Cader Idris, or head round the corner to Dyfi Bike Park for some extreme downhill biking.

Neighbourhood information

The Old Vicarage is just 3.8miles from Machynlleth 5 minute walk to Corris steam train station, 5 miles to Cad East/West carpark, 2.5 miles to Dyfi Bike Park 4 miles from the Dol Idris start point for Cader Idris, and only 10 miles away from the beautiful beach town of Aberdovey with it's stunning Golf Club.
