Lovely modern, well maintained house with good sized kitchen/living area to cook and sit together around the large dining room table. It would have been even better if there were more settees/armchairs to seat all seven of us adults comfortably to chat and enjoy the view through the patio doors! Beautiful garden with many patio areas to enjoy loRead moreoking at the wonderful views. The steps leading down to the river were steep but worth going down - (children under five years of age would need to be accompanied.) There are some great local walks, places to visit and nature trails about 10 to 20 minutes away by car. Hide

Beautiful house in a lovely location, well maintained, comfortable and clean. We had a lovely time and location close enough (driving) to good walks in the Elan valley and Hafren forest. Both of these are definitely recommended. We do advise that should anyone booking this house who have small children and dogs to be aware that the garden is not fuRead morelly enclosed and access to the river at the bottom of the garden is easily accessible. During our stay in October, the river was fast flowing due to rainfall. We would recommend this property. Hide

Woodtops was everything described and is a stunning property with a wonderful outlook over the countryside. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, including logs for the fire and blankets to cosy up with on a cold day. The garden was amazing and it was just a shame, with it being Autumn, that we couldn't make more use of it. TherRead moree a lots of board games & puzzles which we made use of and enjoyed. The local town of Rhayader was within easy reach with plenty of places to obtain food & drinks. We visited Elan Valley and Gilfach Nature Reserve which we can highly recommend. Overall a great place for families to enjoy the outdoors. Hide

The house was perfect for our stay. Eight adults, and a dog stayed for a weekend of running and walking in the Elan Valley. The location was great, and the house was stunning, with, beautiful views and garden. The house was clean, very spacious, and comfortable. We cooked and ate in and had everything we needed to do so. We easily fitted five cars Read moreon the drive, which had been my only worry prior. Would definitely recommend, and would happily stay again if in the area. Hide
