I booked this stay to get my puppy away from the fireworks this year and it was the best decision I ever made. It was isolated enough to be away from the bangs but close enough to the town for anything we needed. The property was perfectly cosy and Pedro had the best time and had complete freedom in the large garden, the hot tub was an added bonus ๐. Thank you for a wonderful stay, I’m already looking to book for the same time next year

Spotless

We stayed here for 3 nights. The pod was was spotless when we arrived and to make the stay even more special it snowed the whole time we were there. The Hot Tub was on ready so constantly warm. The bed was so comfy I want to find out where they get their mattresses from. The shower was powerful. Even comes with a dishwasher ๐ Wonderful views and the walk into Rhayader is around 20-25 minutes. We will definitely be coming back… hopefully soon! We both agreed it’s been the most peaceful perfect stay we’ve ever had. Thankyou so much Holiday Wales for the great communication and experience
