A traditional bungalow, set back from the road and tucked away on a peaceful lane, just a short walk to the heart of the popular market town of Rhayader. A perfect base for family or friends looking to enjoy the stunning Cambrian Mountain countryside, yet being close to a busy town and having somewhere peaceful to return to after a busy day. This welcoming property has three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen which leads into a garden room with woodburner and out onto the patio, meaning that you can make the most of this holiday home whatever the weather. Separate to the garden room is a spacious sitting room with dining area enabling you to relax in front of the TV after a day exploring the area. Outside, you can sit in the deceptively spacious garden, which gives a real feeling of peace. You can unwind on the patio on a sunny evening and chat about your days adventures with a glass of something cool. Rhayader has a great selection of restaurants, bars and cafes, along with independent shops. The River Wye runs through the town, which opens up a myriad of activities such as wandering along The Wye Valley Walk, one of the many walks emanating from the town, river fishing and a local Red Kite feeding centre. Youre ideally placed to explore the fabulous undulating countryside being in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains and just a short 10 minute drive from the imposing industrial magnificence of the Elan Valley reservoirs and Victorian dams, which are set in 46 acres of wildlife rich countryside, perfect to take in the beauty of the night skies with its dark skies status. The area offers numerous outdoor activities such as wildlife spotting, exploring local nature reserves such as Gilfach, which has a diverse range of habitats, fishing, walking, cycling and horse riding. Slightly further afield, you are less than a 20 minute drive to Builth Wells, home of the Royal Welsh Showground with numerous annual events. Within an hours drive, you can either take a day trip to the famous literary town of Hay-on-Wye on the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), feel the sand under your feet at the Victorian seaside resort of Aberystwyth or explore the magnificence of the National Trust's Powis Castle. A perfect base to escape to after a day exploring the area yet just a short walk to a thriving small town.
The small Welsh market town of Rhayader has a selection of tea rooms, pubs, restaurants, amenities and unique little boutiques. The town has the added bonus of a leisure centre with a large swimming pool and a weekly livestock market. The Red Kite Feeding Station, on the outskirts of the town is a great attraction and it's not to be missed.

Mike was very thoughtful, and the welcome basket was a big surprise for us but very needed after a four-hour drive in crazily heavy wind. There was an instruction book, with lots of useful information (such as an introduction to the restaurants and bars, medical facilities etc) and they even included information related to dog-friendly locations and the local vet. The only two issues we had were (1) the wooden floor being too slippery for our old dog and (2) the bedsheet was not breathable enough for my partner (there seemed to be a plastic cover, which made him sweat a lot over the night). But I am sure they won't be a problem for most of the people. We had a nice stay there.

Very comfortable and the Christmas decorations (including a lovely decorated tree) was an unexpected bonus. One of my sisters has mobility issues and, whilst she did manage to shower, I felt that, given there are two shower/bathrooms in the property, one of them could have been more disability friendly. Might be a good marketing point going forward. However, would certainly recommend. Great.

Great layout, both inside and out. A surprise hamper finished off the very warm welcome. You will not be disappointed if you choose this place.
