When you tire of the home comforts, venture out into Rhayader to witness the Red Kite Feeding Station at Gigrin Farm, where you can watch these magnificent birds of prey in their natural habitat. Stroll along the serene Rhayader Riverside Walk, a leafy track offering stunning views and a chance to relax amongst nature's splendour. Take advantage of your location by exploring the wonderful Elan Valley before stopping off on your way back to base, at the Lamb and Flag Inn-Bar-Grill, the Triangle Inn, the Castle or the Crown Inn for a hearty pub meal in the heart of Rhayader or indeed the Mid Wales Inn in Pantydwr. What better way to unwind after a day’s exploration than returning home to the lovingly-presented Ashdale, your home away from home in the stunning countryside of Powys.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The kids and us had a amazing time. The host is absolutely brilliant, went out of his their way to make sure everything is perfect and whether we are happy. Definitely will recommend this property. Scenery is amazing and it's peaceful. Can't say enough about the place. Will definitely be returning.

The communication from the owners was first class and although the property is in quite a remote setting, on a working farm, the owners are on site nearby should you ever need anything. But from our experience, the property had been set up thoughtfully and had everything we needed. There are two lounge areas with TVs, ideal for when kids and adults want separate spaces to relax after a busy day out exploring. The bedrooms were comfortable and everywhere was immaculately clean. There is lots of outdoor space to sit and take in the amazing scenery, sunsets and stargazing. We have stayed in numerous holiday lets in Wales and elsewhere and we would rank this amongst the best we have seen. The town of Rhayader is nearby for shops, pubs, cafés etc. and we found the Elan Valley to be a real hidden gem of Wales. If you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Welsh countryside, do not hesitate to book this property!
