    "Riverside Rest is the perfect retreat for us as a family , we love the peacefulness and the Riverside setting, the accommodation itself is beautiful, comfortable, clean and cosy , ive marked it down just a small notch , only because there is no WiFi, in this day and age all accommodation should have it , yes u can get a phone signal, and yes we can live without WiFi, but I think it's a more of a necessity these days , but I despite that , I would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone looking at this property."

    Thank u so much Stephen

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Riverside Rest . Kind regards Sarah and Stewart Property Owner

    "Exceeded our expectations although some of the decking needed attention and the bbq hadn't been cleaned from previous user."

    The bridge over the river is closed but we enjoyed the walk into Builth Wells. Had a great weekend with family walking and even managed kayaking on the Wye.

    "After trying to find a single floor property in the area to stay with my mum and booking this based on reading other reviews we were a little disappointed with our stay at the lodge."

    We found several issues: -The main issue was that there was damp along the wall infront of the wardrobe in the bedroom closest to the shower room which can be seen where the wallpaper is coming away from the wall. The smell from it meant that the window and door had to be left open at night, on the final night my mum ended up moving into the living area during the night as it got too bad for her. -The handle on the door of the shower room is broken so it doesn't fully close, there is a latch to hold the door shut but there is a noticeable gap in the door which isn't good for privacy. -The bedroom doors were also hard to open and close as they seemed to be getting caught on the door frame. -The towel rail took over an hour to heat up and even then parts of it were still only slightly warm so we gave up using it. -We kept finding ants crawling around the kitchen side and dining table, appreciate the location of the lodge means that there will be insects but it seemed like there could be a nest nearby based on how many we found. The other things we noticed were more cosmetic so didn't necessarily affect our stay but there were several noticeable stains on the carpet in the living/dining area and there were a lot of dead insects in the light fittings in the shower room so they could do with being cleaned out. We don't wan't to leave just negative comments, we loved the location of the lodge, the site was quiet and peaceful with alot of wildlife (including a pheasant who came and greeted us by tapping on the patio door) and we enjoyed walks along the river. The owners also quickly solved an issue we had with the carbon monoxide detector beeping by dropping off replacement batteries. It felt like the lodge needed some work done to it to make it match the lovely location and then it will provide the whole package.

    "What a lovely holiday home you have!"

    We had been looking forward to it from the day we booked. Everything you can think of for a great stay away from home. It is tastefully furnished, a lot of thought gone into it. Immaculately clean in every room. Ideally situated on the park, lovely to sit out and listen to the river running by whilst whilst watching the squirrels up and down the trees, the rabbits playing and birds flying high above in the sky. Thank you for helping make our stay a memorable one. Will definitely be booking again.

    We are so glad that you had such a lovely time at riverside rest and enjoyed the wildlife around the lodge . We look forward in welcoming you back . Many thanks for the lovely feedback All the best sarah and Stewart Property Owner

    "Hallo dear Owner, we like your cottage near by the Riverside very much!"

    Unfortunately there was no hot water since our second day. Several times we unsuccessfully tried to contact you, directly and per Sykes. It was frustrating. We also missed a lighter for the gas stove and a brush for the toilet. We recommend communication with your guests. Kind regards, Margareta

    We are glad you enjoyed our cottage down by the river. Sykes contacted us about there was no hot water and said you would be contacting us and we never had a phone call so due to this we persumed everything was fine . The reason there is no lighter for gas stove as there is an igniter button on the stove. There isn’t a toilet brush due to hygiene. Kind regards Sarah and Stewart Property Owner

The property

This inviting little log cabin sits on a quiet park on the edge of Builth Wells, Powys.

Enjoying a private setting with a flowing river nearby, Riverside Rest is a great choice for families or groups of four looking to stay in reach of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The off-road parking for three cars makes it easy to arrive and get unpacked, and you’ll be ready to explore the area before you know it!

Step into this quaint abode and make yourself at home in the open-plan living area, perching on the sofa as you discuss the holiday plans together.

Step over to the kitchen, complete with all you need for a short stay, while there is a handy utility room with additional fridge/freezer for extra storage.

Beyond the patio doors lies the rear veranda, a private space to enjoy a drink on the furniture, with the gentle flow of the river putting you at ease.

As the day comes to a close, freshen up in the shower room before retiring to either of the double bedrooms.

When you’re ready to adventure, head into the town centre of Builth Wells, home to a selection of independent shops and well-established pubs to refuel at, plus some historical attractions like Builth Castle, which was built under King Edward I, once an impressive stone-built, now all that remains are earthworks.

The town also has a fantastic golf club and is within reach of the iconic Royal Welsh Show Ground.

If you’re after a slice of countryside charm, visit Hay-on-Wye, where idyllic walks along the River Wye and afternoons unwinding at Hay Warren are recommended For a lovely meal at the end of your day head to Caerberis Manor, which has a fabulous bar and restaurant and is only a short walk away.

Choose Riverside Rest for a relaxing break in the heart of Wales.
