Views for days 5/5

This was the second time we had stayed at marches way and will not be the last . Nice and clean and has everything we need and the views are amazing! Secure garden makes it nice and easy to relax knowing the dogs arent going anywhere.

Stephen Davies | 04 November 2024

Second time visiting 5/5

This is our second time visiting,previosuly staying in highland view. Again could not fault our stay and have already said we will be coming back! We have fallen in love with the place

Beth Roberts | 28 September 2024

Weekend break 3.2/5

Customer service was shocking i spoke to pip on the phone and via email she was very rude ans unhelpful. Bed was uncomfortable pillows old and uncomfortable, definitely not "luxury" No coffee machine as advertised nor the freshly sourced milk in glass bottle as advertised. Dogs maybe welcome but they are not pet unfriendly, notes left inside saying strictly no dogs on any of the furniture. Only on arrival are you told by notes again that you are to strip beds apon leaving, recycle rubbish and clean the property and be out by 10am. I found it to strict and conditioned couldnt relax and enjoy our selfs in fear of losing the £200 deposit they take. I would not recommend or return. Definitely not worth the money

Rebecca Gray | 03 September 2024

Perfection 4.8/5

Absolutely LOVED my stay at Marches Way, just the escape needed. The hut is small but perfectly formed, comfortable, and well equipped with views for miles. 100% will return.

CERI MORGANS | 04 May 2024

Pictures don’t do it justice. Beyond perfect, stunning place to stay. 4.7/5

Stayed 3 nights here and it was a shame we didn’t book for more! Absolutely beautiful place to stay, everything was perfect about it and the added bonus of the hot tub was amazing. The homemade raspberry lemonade was a lovely touch and it was really nice to! The massive enclosed garden was perfect to let your dog/s roam around freely. Already spoke about coming back to stay with my partner as it was that good!

Ben Norrie | 07 October 2023

Lovely shepherds hut with beautiful views 5/5

This is the second time we have stayed at the marches and it didn’t disappoint. we love the location, the peacefulness of the site and the hut is beautiful. The hot tub is a bonus. Ideal spot for visiting Elan valley for a spot of cycling and taking in the beauty of our wonderful country.

Dawn Mills | 05 September 2023

Short break 4/5

Lovely place very peaceful. The dogs loved running around in the enclosed garden. Unfortunately the weather was against us during our stay which made it difficult to enjoy outside time and the hut was a lot smaller than we expected.

Jay Wallis | 11 July 2023

Lovely Short Stay 4.8/5

This was my first time going on a solo shirt break and it didn’t disappoint. I wish I booked to stay longer. Marches Way and its location were peaceful and stunning, surrounded by the countrysides of Rhayader and in close driving proximity to Elan Valley. Thank you for a wonderful stay, I can’t wait to return in the future!

Alicia Stannard | 20 June 2023

Marches Way 5/5

We stayed for a long weekend and wish we booked longer! We couldn’t fault anything! The property itself was beautiful, very clean and provided us with everything we needed! The views were perfect too! The secure garden was perfect for our pup - was so lovely to let him run around and not have to worry! We will be booking again!
