Woow!! What a gorgeous house! After a long day of walking and exploring it was so nice to come to accommodation what it felt like home. Location to me was everything! Peaceful, beautiful views, song of the birds and talk between sheeps. I really enjoyed drive there, it's a narrow road, beautiful hills, forest, fields, just stunning. House is absolutely beautiful, clean, homely, comfortable, the room was huge with lovely view, coffee station, comfortable bed, my son loved the chairs in it. So comfy. Bathroom very modern, clean, fresh. Host very kind, made us lovely breakfast, breakfast area is so nice, conservatory with stunning views. You have a little town Rhayader with few lovely pubs, 15 min drive, we went to Lamb and Flag, delicious food. I'm definitely booking this gorgeous accommodation again when I'm in the area but for a bit longer so I can take a walk around it as it's just so beautiful. Thank you for kindness and wonderful stay! Monika and Noah.

“Great location for Glyndwr's Way in a small hamlet and a welcoming and comfortable place.”
I arrived in the village earlier than planned but I was still able to check in, so that was really helpful. It's a lovely home, with helpful and welcoming husband and wife. My room was really bright and airy, very comfortable and nice and clean. Well appointed too. Fantastic evening meal (lamb shank) and friendly service. Superb location for walking Glyndwr's Way.

“Secret valley home stay”
Loved the peaceful location. Superbly clean and well appointed room plus sitting room and dining room for guests. Friendly host who went out of her way to help with tops for eating out and visits. The village is named after Abbey ruins that you can visit. There is also a local pub that opens from 8 - 11 pm!

“We will definately be back, fantastic place”
We traveled by motor bike, one broke down, no help from the RAC no help from 24 hr recovery, But the owners of the B&B got a local mechanic out on a Saturday night, and with his help we manage to get the bike running again who the escorted my friend to the B&B where we had secure parking, The mechanic would not take any money for his time so we bought him a pint in the local, the B&B was amazing and the hosts were too, the full english breakfast was just what the doctor ordered, in the middle of now where on a saturday night these people we cant thank enough, so Thankyou

“Five star accommodation in a quiet picturesqe valley near Rhayader”
My son and I were on a biking trip and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We arrived to check in and the host agreed to let us unload and charge our electric bikes overnight. The host was discreet and cooked us a tasty breakfast at our desired time.
