Rhayader Library Tours

nice and handy place to stay

What an absolute gem! I needed somewhere to stay near to Leicester for 1 night & this place looked picturesque & was reasonablly priced but beyond that I had no real expectations but boy did this place exceed them all! As I was arriving a bit later than anticipated I received a call to confirm that an email would be sent to me with check in details & that a key would be left in a safe location for me. The woman I spoke with was really lovely. The lodges were easy to locate & on arrival I was impressed by the secure entry. To my delight I was also greeted by an array of animals- a very chatty turkey, goats, alpacas, a lovely big pig& a white peacock! On entering the lodges I noted a good level of security. I was delighted to find a microwave along with various itmes of cutlerry, crockery and glassware. There were also two Vending machines, one food one drink, in the entryway which although I did not need to use it is always reasurring to know that there is something available should you need it. The room itself was just wonderful. A door straight out onto decking with a stunning view of the water and a family of ducks/ducklings. As I was with my toddler I was delighted to see that the door was able to be double secured and we instead opened the curtains to enjoy the view. The room itself was spacious, clean & comfortable. There were various gadgets in the room which was cool as well as a fridge. Highly recommended, will stay again. Local shop & takeaway great and 2 min drive.

The hotel is undergoing building works, but other than the view of diggers and contractors vehicles, it did not really cause an issue. The rooms were nicely refurbished. The food was excellent. When we booked, we chose the hotel partly because it had a pool. When we checked-in the pool had been closed permanently which was disappointing. Overall a very pleasant stay and walking distance to Ebrington.
