    Five pubs within a stones throw of each other in the main square. My kind of town. The Crown was excellent and recommended by three different random strangers Best stocked co-op I’ve ever seen 😆 Friendly people in the shops and pubs.

    The Triangle has good food and proper beer.

    The Triangle has good food and proper beer. Also The Lamb and Flag serves a good pint of Cwrw. You must visit the 5 reservoirs whatever the weather. We only managed 2 on our 3 day visit as the weather was poor. However as it rained so much the overtopping of Claerwen dam was spectacular to see and hear.

    Everything you could need is there.

    Everything you could need is there. Friendly welcoming community. Excellent pubs, cafes and takeaways. Good shops. Prices very good. Lots of places to visit.localy. Remember there's no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing. Everywhere is dog friendly.. We love Elan, great visitor centre, with gift shop, not overpriced and a coffee shop with great food, dog and child friendly. Great place to burn off excess energy, walk, bike,or run. Cheap parking, free hour or £3 all day. Lots of wild life and facilities for disabled people.

    We came to Rhayader to go round the Elan Valley dams as we do each New Year. This time we decided to stay overnight and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in spite of the torrential rain. Whilst we enjoyed bed and breakfast at The Bear, we dined in the Crown in the evening where the food was excellent and the beer was good as well. The staff were great at the Bear and the Crown. The Elan Valley and its dams, built to supply Birmingham with water and opened about 120 years ago, just a mile of two from Rhayader are well worth a visit to see the Victorian engineering. The Visitor Centre, as well as serving brilliant bacon baps and a cuppa, also houses a museum and shop where there is so much information about building the dams and the things that you can do in the valley like walking, cycling, bird watching and much more. We had a good time there.

    Hafod Hardware shop is a must as its sells an eclectic mix of items and a visit to the tearoom by the clock tower. The only negative would be the lack of understanding of most drivers on how to negotiate the roads around the clock tower !

    Not many accommodation choices in the Elan Valley. The Elan Valley Hotel will not disappoint. The hotel is located near the small Elan Valley township and just a short walk from the Cabin Coch Reservoi and Visitor Centre. The room was clean, our bed was comfortable and the room was well presented. Everything worked and was well maintained. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We opted to have dinner at the Hotel as well and that was also very tasty. Our hosts were warm and engaging. Overall a very pleasant stay.

    This place is located on the road between Rhayader village and the dams. It’s secluded and quiet. The village itself is fairly busy and noisy so the quiet is great. Our room was at the back part of the house. Very roomy with a huge bed. Everything was clean and very comfortable, other than the bathroom. The hosts do serve a limited menu dinner which was not outrageously priced and was quite good. Breakfast was excellent. The hosts, including their old dog, are helpful, friendly and worth a chat.

    Lovely location in the centre of Rhayader so very convenient for shopping or going out for meals. The house is set back from the road and so is very quiet. The area for parking is spacious and there was outdoor seating (suitable for meals outdoors) at both the front and back of the house. The house was very modern, nicely furnished and the kitchen facilities were excellent. The wifi worked really well too. Overall the house was outstanding value for money.

    Excellent location in the centre of Rhayader, near to the main co-op store. Parking was no problem as the property had its own allocated parking space. The Elan Valley was just down the road. The accommodation was very new, with a bright and airy open plan kitchen diner and lounge. The bedroom and bathroom were sparkling. You have to provide your own towels which is no problem as we were informed of this up front.

    Everything. Not only was Claire lovely, but both the accommodation and location could not have been better. It is a cozy cottage that is both convenient to town while being set in the countryside, near the Elan Valley (photo attached). Being directly across from a Red Kite feeding centre was a huge bonus as the sightings were incredible! This is the ideal stay for people travelling with their dog.

    Cooked breakfast was great and the meat was good quality! Location is not even a 5 minute walk into town and a super close drive for people visiting the Elan Valley. They let us take our 10 month old son for no additional charge, however a nearby property told us we had to pay an additional £50 for their family room!!

    Location was great, even though it was near the A470 , so easy access to all areas of mid wales, the cottage was up a normal set of stairs but there was plenty of room inside, ample parking and ample facilities although we were a little too warm as the cottage kept it's heat in with the weather being so hot

    A real gem! Very comfortable with excellent food. Steve was an excellent host, able to tell you about the history of the house and the area, also happy to arrange evening meals with local hotels if needed. Being in the centre pf Rhayader nothing is more than about a ten minute walk away.

    The staff, food and accommodation was all brilliant. As expected I did like the food, beer and it was nice and warm there. Good to find they had parking, as I was travelling on a motorcycle, everything was walkable from the pub and breakfast nearby.
