Lodge was spotless and lovely welcome basket on arrival along with plenty of information about the area. Owner was also very helpful before arrival with providing taxi number etc so we could plan our trip. Hot tub was perfect and so relaxing to sit out in the evenings in the quiet country side. Looking to come back next year. Thank you so much for a lovely stay xx

The owners who live on the farm were very friendly and welcoming, and are only a text away if you need anything. On the farm were plenty of sheep, a chicken coop, and even some goats and horses⦠in the middle of one of the fields is a small gated park for kiddies to play. The hot tub was a must for us at the end of the night watching the sunset and looking out onto the farm. There is also a built in bbq at the end of the drive and you are provided with fire wood etc, which we really enjoyed using. They do give you a welcome basket which we appreciated and more importantly they not only provided tea, coffee and sugar but a fresh pint of milk in the fridge! I would highly recommend buying the farmâs fresh eggs for during your stay or even to take home with you - we did both! The mattresses arenât overly comfortable but we expect this when staying in cabins, and the top bunk bed I wouldnât recommend for adults as it is a crawl space. Also, we werenât provided with a great variety of utensils (no chopping knives, only a bread knife, and no indoor tongs). They also only have 1 small frying pan, but a few medium boiling pans. Plenty of crockery, mugs and glasses, egg cups, and salt ânâ pepper shakers - ours were empty however. The heating was constantly on in the lodge (the heating dial didnât seem to work) so a lot of the time we had to turn all the radiators down or off, but they do provide a plug in air con, a fan, and an additional plug in heater if needed. Also the shower was great at the start (heat and pressure etc) however we did notice as more visitors arrived at site towards the end of the week⦠each time we used the the shower the heat would then fluctuate a lot between too hot and too cold. Whilst staying at the lodge we spent a day at Elan Valley Dams, we also travelled over to Hafren Forest and Borth Beach which was lovely! The roads around Rhayader are the most scenic and peaceful, most places we travelled to are >1hr away. The town of Rhayader itself is made up of a few cafes/pubs and some other independent businesses. There is a co-op or spar if you need to grab any essentials whilst staying here. We pre-booked a table at Triangle Inn on our last night which was a very small cottage pub serving great food including a stunning lamb shank!
