About Ynyshir
Ynyshir sits in a quiet valley at Eglwysfach, a few miles southwest of Machynlleth towards Aberystwyth, and has become one of the most talked-about dining destinations in Wales under chef Gareth Ward. The restaurant holds two Michelin stars and operates as a single nightly sitting built around an intense, produce-led tasting menu, with overnight rooms designed as an extension of that experience rather than a conventional hotel stay.
The handful of rooms - including House, Studio and Garden options - are individually finished, with the Studio featuring its own outdoor terrace and a relaxed, dog-friendly policy. Guests typically arrive in the afternoon for drinks before dinner, with breakfast served the following morning, so a stay is structured entirely around the evening's meal rather than a typical arrival-to-departure hotel routine.
Ynyshir suits couples and small groups seeking a genuine culinary occasion in a remote rural setting, close to the Dyfi estuary's birdlife and within easy reach of Machynlleth, but bookings for both dinner and rooms need to be made well in advance given its reputation.
