Bed & Breakfast

Stay at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) and enjoy stunning views of the foothills of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, just three miles away from the historic market town of Machynlleth.

Stay in a twin or double en-suite room in our WISE building, with breakfast from our vegetarian café.

Guests can enjoy exploring CAT’s sustainably managed woodlands and gardens, or take a walk around our Quarry Trail, which offers awe-inspiring views across the Dulas Valley and into the old slate quarry on which CAT is built.

CAT is the perfect base from which to explore the nearby town of Machynlleth, with its thriving high street of independent shops, cafés and pubs, or to reconnect with nature in the beautiful hills, woodlands and beaches of Mid Wales.

If you would like to arrange a group visit, please get in touch. We can arrange a visit tailored to you, including tours and workshops with our expert team
