  • "Really nice place just a couple of issues."

    . rusty fridge door not a pretty site.. recliner couch broken on one side .. toilet door could do with a lock as it doesn’t shut properly.. gap in the front doors maybe an issue in the winter.. shower head leaks and no correspondence with anyone even though I sent a txt message about the couch.. there are a lot of flies but not a lot anyone can do about that . I feel it is a lovely property in a beautiful area just needs a bit of attention.

    Mirror needs to be over sink in bathroom not behind you .toilet seat very loose .don't think should have to pay for logs for fire pit as cost is high enough to cover that .no doors would fit in catch when closed .

  • "The accommodation was truly outstanding."

    The extra packages available were a lovely touch, and easy to order more during the stay. All information that we needed was clear and easy accessible. For during and after our stay, with flyers of local sights and activities including numbers for taxi firm, dentist and doctors. The guestbook was great to have around with previous holiday makers and their recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Very easy to find. Views were spectacular, hot tub was amazing (especially under the starry sky). Everything was spotless and had good basic amenities available. Only thing I'd love to have seen is some more comfortable outdoor seating to relax in. Bench had seen better days and firepit was a bit unsteady but still usable. Other than that I really couldn't fault our stay here, and I have no doubt in my mind that we will be back as soon as we can!

    One thing that lets the place down is the fact the little faults mentioned by many guests haven’t been addressed. Also I appreciate they are doing work to improve the site but it does make it difficult to relax with all the noise from the builders etc.

  • "Overall a lovely relaxing girls trip."

    Star gazing in the hot tub was by far our favorite part of the trip. Comfy bed and more spacious than we anticipated. I got lost finding the location for ages, as there are no signs of the main road to indicate where to turn in to the location, and phone signal was bad so it was hard to contact the owners. On arrival the owner spotted me and directed me to the right place (not very friendly at all.) Both the clock and the blinds were broken, little things that didnt impact our stay however a little more attention to detail for the price was expected. The views are incredibly and a really stunning village however we had lots of uncomfortable moments with the locals, possibly because of our ethnicity. For this reason we wouldn't return

    The log cabin was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. Beautiful views over the Welsh valleys on a morning whilst watching the Red Kite Birds fly over was breathtaking. The addition of the hot tub was a real treat after a long day out in the sun. Honestly couldn't recommend this place enough. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be looking to visit this site again, especially since they now have hobbit holes built into the side of the valley! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

    What a wonderful place it is, clean and comfortable with stunning views to great you. Pods are well spaced and positioned each with its own fenced garden, patio and hot tub areas. Hot tub was ideal way to end each day watching the sunset of the beautiful valley. Rhayader just a 2 minute drive had numerous places to eat, a variety of cafes, restaurants, and pubs and those we tried were good. Elan Valley just a 5-10 min drive away with many walks and cycle tracks with glorious scenery. We enjoyed so much that We are already rebooking for next year

    It was brilliant that as we arrived the cabin was all nice and warm and the hot tub was already on for our arrival. WiFi has its moments but you are in the middle of no where. Rhayader was a lovely little village we took a liking to the little chocolate shop chobblebox, the cakes were amazing. We hadn’t planned anything to do but we found plenty. The red kite feeding was different and also had an intense cardio session around devils bridge and those steps! Really lovely place and I have recommended this place to friends. Very cosy and private perfect birthday treat.

    Couple of pointers to note though; the doorway would benefit from a fly screen, due to the location on a farm they were to be expected but we were over run by them! The sofa bed used as a sofa was extremely uncomfortable too, there had clearly been issues with it as a large rip was photographed by a staff member. These are however minor issues and the little extras were highly appreciated. We hope to return in the future

    It snowed a lot whilst staying here but the cosy lodge and hot tub made it the best place to be whilst being snowed in.

Definitely would come back again and we have even decided to stay an extra night as we do not want to go home!

  • "Lovely little cabin in rural Wales."

    What the pictures don’t show is that they are currently developing the site and building several other lodges, so the view is slightly ruined by diggers and the peace and quiet disrupted from 8am during the week by the men and machinery. Also means that you can’t really use the hot tub during the daytime as it overlooks the building site (and the builders)! The hot water was also hit and miss. Despite this though it really is a lovely cabin in a beautiful spot. The sister cabin (Valley View) is slightly further away from the building work and the hot tub less in view so I would book that one rather than Meadow View.
