A super cosy cottage in a lovely location with several walks from the door. Autumn colours in the woodlands and red kites everywhere in the sky! Rhayader is a lovely small town with shops and pubs. We enjoyed a wonderful drive to Aberystwyth over the mountain road, only an hour away for a breath of sea air.

The Loft was a clean, comfortable cottage in the most stunning surroundings. The views from all aspects were spectacular. Lots of walks from your doorstep and wildlife all around. A short drive to the Elan Valley or a bike ride on the trail. The only slight issue was the need for more equipment in the kitchen and the shared areas (washing machine eRead moretc) where it needed a bit more organisation. Hide
