Summary:

“Relaxing, recharging, recommended”

Location is exceptional. It was bigger than we expected. Truly stress-free place for a holiday with dogs. Huge garden.

Gorgeous location at the end of a track. Very comfortable accommodation, especially loved the woodburner.

Specifically Recommend:

Lovely walks straight from the door.

Star gazing, no light pollution at all.

The surroundings - so very peaceful.

Be Aware:

The garden fence is only low in places and 3ft high max, more than adequate for our non-jumping dogs but no barrier to the farm collies that visit.

Steep stairs could be difficult for the less able.

Local Gems:

The food at the Hundred (mph) Inn in Bleddfa was delicious, huge portions and the dogs were made very welcome.

The Elan Valley reservoirs and dams especially Claerwen. Water-break-its-neck waterfall.

Jenny’s Tearoom in Rhayader, try the Welsh cawl and the cakes were yummy too.

The Observatory at Knighton, very interesting.

Harry Tuffins Supermarket, Knighton, an experience!

En Route:

M5 Northbound Michael Wood Services - if you walk round behind the Days Inn Hotel there are fields with a footpath good for letting the dogs off lead.
