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

The Loft is a very intimate, comfortable and quiet location for a few days away. Our hosts were available, but not at all intrusive, and pre arrival directions and details were all very clearly set out. We would like to return when the weather is hopefully better, but early February in mid Wales will always be a bit inclement!
