Machstablau will restore and re-use the old stables and coach house building linked to Plas Machynlleth. The stables, often known locally as the Kennels, are a Grade ll listed building that was built in the 1850s.

This attractive and distinctive building, owned by Machynlleth Town Council had been disused for some years and had fallen into disrepair, while being a financial burden on the town.

The project aims to restore the building, keeping its architectural and historical features and to create a 36-bed lodge type accommodation for visitors to the town and the area. The coach house will become a community facility that can be used for activities, workshops, and events.

Machstablau is in the centre of Machynlleth town and within the grounds of the Plas or mansion that was owned by the Marquess of Londonderry until it was given to the town.

Machynlleth is situated on the river Dyfi and is at the meeting of several Welsh counties. It is easily accessed by train and bus transport as well as by road and walking the Owain Glyndwr long distance path.

Members of the Machstablau team have been telling people about the plans for the stables. They have been at Machynlleth Wednesday markets, and there is a display in the foyer of Plas Machynlleth.
