Guests that stayed at this property said

The lodge is celebrated for its beautiful and quiet location, with easy access to local amenities and nature. The presence of wildlife and proximity to the village of Rhayader are frequently appreciated, although the garden's enclosure is mentioned as a point of concern for pet owners.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the beds comfy and the lodge cosy. The hot tub is a recurring feature in the reviews, providing a relaxing and comfortable experience. The overall ambience of the lodge is noted as homely and inviting.
The facilities, especially the hot tub, are a hit among guests. However, some reviews mention minor maintenance issues such as a stiff door and hot tub jets not fully operational. These small points prevent a perfect score but do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through the special touches like local eggs and sweet treats left for guests. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The bed was super comfy and hot tub was spacious and well kept. The cottage is to a high spec and lovely and clean. The only issue we had was the garden was listed as âenclosedâ which is a little misleading as it it only literally the wooden patio area which is enclosed - which meant we couldnât let the dog out unattended to toilet. Other than that there is nothing else we would improve :)

The cabin was ideal and we felt it included everything we needed for the week, and to my wife's delight the towels that were provided smelt great and were obviously home-laundered. We divided our time between local walks, the pubs and cafes of Rhayader, Elan Valley, sitting in the huge hot tub and sitting in the sun on the terrace watching the birds. We will probably go back next year as there is still a lot to see in the area. The owner Aled was a nice fella and would stop for a chat when servicing the hot tub. The walk into the centre of Rhayader takes about 40 minutes although we found parking was plentiful if you prefer to drive. There are a couple of small general stores, a few pubs and cafes, grocers, takeaways and a very nice butchers with great steak and lamb chops. Diolch Aled, and see you next year.
