Green Cottage in Rhayader is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its stunning location, cleanliness, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the enclosed garden, ideal for dogs, and the proximity to local attractions. The cottage's charm and modern facilities contribute to a relaxing stay, despite some minor feedback on comfort and maintenance.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests report the cottage as very clean upon arrival, with only a few isolated comments about comfort items that could be improved. The consistent mention of cleanliness suggests a high standard maintained by the owners.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to local sights and nature. Some guests mention the road traffic and the lack of mobile signal, but overall, the scenic value and tranquillity are appreciated.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, with a few remarks about low sofas and the warmth of the bedrooms during hot weather. The presence of a log burner is a highlight for many, adding to the cottage's comfort.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and a large wet room. Some guests suggest improvements in guidance for using appliances and minor maintenance issues. The inclusion of smart TVs and secure garden space for dogs are notable positives.
While some guests mention a welcome bottle of wine and the provision of essentials upon arrival, there are not enough references to consistently assess the level of thoughtfulness across all reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score, and guests should note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

The totally enclosed garden was absolutely perfect for our cavalier King Charles, the cottage was lovely and warm at all times. The wetroom was great for all including washing Hugo after long walks at Elan valley. The smart TV allowed us to binge watch and experience total relaxation which is why we came. The only 2 suggestion I would have is a small blind at the front door as it can be quite bright when lying on sofa. And we found the mattress a bit too soft. But that's just our opinion. It was a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.
