Couldn't fault it
Amazing place, cosy, clean and perfect location for sightseeing. Fire was lush and was great we could take our three dogs. Karl was also very welcoming and helpful. We would defo stay again. Thanks again to Karl!

Lovely peaceful, cosy retreat.
We have just arrived home from our week in this lovely cottage. Karl and his Mum were lovely and very helpful and it was lovely to meet their 2 gorgeous dogs. The cottage is very spacious and clean with a lovely secure garden and large yard for for our dogs to run around. The only reason we have not given 5 stars is because the sofas in the lounge badly need replacing as they are very uncomfortable to the point where I couldnt sit on them as they gave me a bad back. Also, a washing line would be most helpful as I couldn't understand why there was a washing machine but no line to hang the washing on. That said, we were sad to leave and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing location.
Quietly located, property clean and friendly host
Ideally located for walks into Rhayader without having to use the car. Plenty to Dom in the area and some great places to eat and drink in the town. Host was friendly and property was clean and tidy with everything needed to enjoy the stay like a home from home.
Lovely cottage
Excellent accommodation, lovely garden and very helpful and friendly owner
Another great week in beautiful location
Family break at Gwardolau (our 2nd time) to enjoy the wonderful surroundings, walking/biking/relaxing etc. Karl and his mum are so welcoming it feels like 'home from home'. The views are beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. We would recommend the red kite feeding, and also a trip to the Hafod Estate (off the mountain road to Devil's Bridge) where there are several walking routes to choose from of varying terrain & distances which was simply stunning. This is certainly one of our favourite places.
