We loved our stay here! We went hiking during the day and got in about 6pm quite damp and very muddy but there was a hot shower right away! Finding the place was really easy as it is literally a stones throw from the station and is 30 seconds from a gas station meaning you can grab food for your stay really easily.We stayed in the triple room; there are 4 rooms, each which lock for privacy. The linen was fresh and the place was really tidy and quite homely. The kitchen was clean and had all the amenities like a kettle, microwave, fridge, cutlery etc. Towels are provided which is also great. The common room is really eclectic and huge with plenty of books and toys for kids, alongside a piano and table tennis. There is free WiFi which we didn't actually use but it is still great that the hostel offers it! We brought our own soap but there was plenty of shampoo and body wash left by other users which was great. The only niggle we had was about the cockerels waking us up! Other than that it is a lovely place and we had a fabulous stay! Thank you!!

We had a lovely stay at Toad Hall which is quite a unique place, it is very well located and the rooms and all common spaces are very clean, tidy and extremely well equipped. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. We would definitely recommend.

Amazingly good value for a super comfy nights sleep!For me, Toad hall was absolutely spot on! I normally camp when mountain biking in Wales but this it’s not so comfortable in January!If you want something warm, comfortable, cheap and 5 mins from both the town of Machynlleth, Dyfi forest trails (ClimachX etc) and Dyfi Bike Park, I can highly recommend this place.There’s a mixture of family, double, twin & single rooms, full bedding is supplied and shared bathroom has an excellent hot shower too!There is a small self-catering kitchen as well, with an oven/hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, small table/chairs and cutlery!In addition, there’s also a large room for relaxing and playing table tennis, which is the perfect way to complete your day.Parking is available on site but it’s slightly limited if there’s a few vehicles.I’ve just had x3 very comfortable nights there for £26 per night.Communication is excellent and best via text messages to Bill and Louise.Thank you Bill and Louise, we’ll be back!https://independenthostels.co.uk/members/toadhall/

What a great little place.My daughter and I were supposed to be camping but decided not to and found Toad Hall on the magic of google. Its a charming little place, all own rooms with a shared bathroom and fully functional kitchen.Communal space is huge with loads of comfortable chairs and a ping.pong table, we made use of this even after wandering the mountains all day.Sadly we only had the one night on this trip due to us having to be places but next rime we will definitely book longer and spend more time in this lovely area.

Looked like a great spot, but couldn't find anyone to see if I could stay. Didn't answer the phone either so who knows? Also looked online just gave a phone number...thanks!

I love this hostel. Opened window. Fresh air. Like in my grandma house. Unbelievable feeling. I definitely recommend being there. Lambs outside. 10 seconds away, big CO-OP and petrol station. Very friendly owners. Beatiful nature when you drive there. Grandma home atmosphere. I sleep like a baby in Grandma's house! Impressed strongly. I came late and can't say anything about pubs. Look, google, I turned to the hostel from the main road and I think there were some bars. Very beautiful drive there. Lake, hills.

Once you get over the initial wow factor of the common room you realise it’s a nice clean, damp free place to stay!Toilet was clean, shower was hot, beds were clean and for only 25 quid a night it’s super cheap stop over! We stayed here for a night on the drive to dyfi bike park!Go direct for the best price!The common room has some super quirky stuff in it!If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel this isn’t the place for you but if you want a cheap place to sleep then crack on 👌Slight amityville horror vibe but don’t worry it’s all good!

Toad Hall provides charming basic but immaculately clean budget accommodation . Our bedroom was fresh and Bright and overlooked the garden where chickens and a cockerel roamed. … of course a morning wake up callI. I thought Louise was lovely and friendly.

Lovely place, a great hostel with a private room, which is good as I'm not good in dormitories ( I know I snore, get self-conscious and then barely sleep). Do follow the instructions to get here carefully.

We had a great night in this quirky bunkhouse.Table tennis, grand piano and rope swing in the common room.The bedroom was adequate and cosy.The hostel is just over from the railway station and right in the town, handy for shops.Right on the Sustrans 8 and 82 routes and central for the Enduro MTB centres, and if course, all the Cambrian mountains.Will was great with the communication.Toad Hall will certainly be on my list for future visits.
