Clean, lovely renovations and the time and care put into the property showed. Dick was great; really helpful and made a great breakfast every morning. Room was spacious and shower was great. Jacuzzi tub was lovely and a short, easy walk to town for dinner. Perfect! Thank you.

Perfect venue for investigating mid Wales and the Elan Valley. Small town but has everything you need for a self catering holiday, the right shops and takeaways if you want them, but if you prefer to go out and be fed, all the pubs serve food. Astonishing area with the mountains, rivers and general countryside. Couldn't ask for more

Five pubs within a stones throw of each other in the main square. My kind of town.
The Crown was excellent and recommended by three different random strangers
Best stocked co-op I’ve ever seen 😆
Friendly people in the shops and pubs.

The Triangle has good food and proper beer.
The Triangle has good food and proper beer. Also The Lamb and Flag serves a good pint of Cwrw. You must visit the 5 reservoirs whatever the weather. We only managed 2 on our 3 day visit as the weather was poor. However as it rained so much the overtopping of Claerwen dam was spectacular to see and hear.

Everything you could need is there.
Everything you could need is there. Friendly welcoming community. Excellent pubs, cafes and takeaways. Good shops. Prices very good. Lots of places to visit.localy. Remember there's no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing. Everywhere is dog friendly.. We love Elan, great visitor centre, with gift shop, not overpriced and a coffee shop with great food, dog and child friendly. Great place to burn off excess energy, walk, bike,or run. Cheap parking, free hour or £3 all day. Lots of wild life and facilities for disabled people.

We came to Rhayader to go round the Elan Valley dams as we do each New Year. This time we decided to stay overnight and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in spite of the torrential rain. Whilst we enjoyed bed and breakfast at The Bear, we dined in the Crown in the evening where the food was excellent and the beer was good as well. The staff were great at the Bear and the Crown.
The Elan Valley and its dams, built to supply Birmingham with water and opened about 120 years ago, just a mile of two from Rhayader are well worth a visit to see the Victorian engineering. The Visitor Centre, as well as serving brilliant bacon baps and a cuppa, also houses a museum and shop where there is so much information about building the dams and the things that you can do in the valley like walking, cycling, bird watching and much more. We had a good time there.

Hafod Hardware shop is a must as its sells an eclectic mix of items and a visit to the tearoom by the clock tower. The only negative would be the lack of understanding of most drivers on how to negotiate the roads around the clock tower !
This place is located on the road between Rhayader village and the dams. It’s secluded and quiet. The village itself is fairly busy and noisy so the quiet is great.
Our room was at the back part of the house. Very roomy with a huge bed. Everything was clean and very comfortable, other than the bathroom.
The hosts do serve a limited menu dinner which was not outrageously priced and was quite good. Breakfast was excellent.
The hosts, including their old dog, are helpful, friendly and worth a chat.
Lovely location in the centre of Rhayader so very convenient for shopping or going out for meals. The house is set back from the road and so is very quiet. The area for parking is spacious and there was outdoor seating (suitable for meals outdoors) at both the front and back of the house. The house was very modern, nicely furnished and the kitchen facilities were excellent. The wifi worked really well too. Overall the house was outstanding value for money.
Excellent location in the centre of Rhayader, near to the main co-op store. Parking was no problem as the property had its own allocated parking space. The Elan Valley was just down the road. The accommodation was very new, with a bright and airy open plan kitchen diner and lounge. The bedroom and bathroom were sparkling. You have to provide your own towels which is no problem as we were informed of this up front.
Location was great, even though it was near the A470 , so easy access to all areas of mid wales, the cottage was up a normal set of stairs but there was plenty of room inside, ample parking and ample facilities although we were a little too warm as the cottage kept it's heat in with the weather being so hot
A real gem! Very comfortable with excellent food. Steve was an excellent host, able to tell you about the history of the house and the area, also happy to arrange evening meals with local hotels if needed. Being in the centre pf Rhayader nothing is more than about a ten minute walk away.
Absolutely beautiful location - great views out of the cabin. Instructions were very clear and the guide book prepared was a nice touch. Hot tub was a hit! The nearest town is very conveniently located and has everything you need. Definitely recommend staying here!
Rhayader is a beautiful community situated near Brecon Beacons National Park. The Guesthouse is within walking distance of the town center. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, breakfast was great, staff were very engaging & helpful. We had a very nice visit.
The staff were fantastic and the hotel is in a beautiful location. We really enjoyed our stay. If you are bringing a dog, the ground floor bedroom has a door that takes you onto a grassy area. Great for letting the dog out for a quick break before bed.
A good sized room with a decent shower. A good location for the Brecon Beacons and snowdonia. We had a superb breakfast every morning and good food at the pub nearby - the crown. Friendly staff were an added bonus. Excellent value for money too!
The Pub did not provide breakfast, but advertised a local cafe nearby. (Which we think was owned by the same person). The food in the cafe was good. The town was pleasant and people were friendly. The shower worked.
Lovely room and en suite facilities were wonderful.
Breakfast was first class.
The views from the hotel are breathtaking.
The location is perfect, a short walk from all the facilities.
We enjoyed our dinner there. The room was very nice. The staff was helpful. We would go there again. The hotel is right downtown near a few shops with beautiful historic buildings.
Excellent location for places of interest; Elan Valley dams, Aberystwyth, Builth Wells are easy to travel from the hotel. The staff were fab, the food was lovely. Can't fault anything
Lovely cottage- comfortable and well equipped. Great location. Always spaces available to park on-street near property. Comfortable beds. Hot showers. Great communication from host.
Everything was clean and tidy. Provided coffee and tea for the stay. Very clear communications before arrival.
It was in a lovely location with plenty of walks and pubs nearby.
The room was fantastic. Very large with an enormous bed. Everywhere was very clean. Sian was a very attentive and friendly host. The area was near to where we wanted to be.
very nice place to stay, one thing to bear in mind no parking at the hotel but there plenty aprox 100m away . very good value for money- I'll definitely be stay again .
