High score for Rhayader

In the old town area, just 5 minutes’ walk from the River Wye, this 200-year-old Welsh stone building is rich in original character and traditional charm, with wood beams and exposed stonework.

With original 18th-century timbers and a log fire, the lounges are furnished with deep comfortable chairs. The Horseshoe has been recently refurbished and now combines modern comforts and facilities with this lovely old building’s historic character. The rooms are decorated in a traditional country style and each room has tea/coffee making facilities, modern central heating and a flat-screen TV.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

The Horseshoe Guesthouse has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Apr 27, 2010

We have been in Rhayader for 14 years trying to perfect the guest experience recognising that for every guest, for a little time this is their holiday or at least their time off. We added a new reception area, conservatory and re-furbished all the rooms and the lounge to a high modern standard. We only cook locally sourced food, cooked that day to fulfill the experience of a well rounded looked after stay whilst our guests enjoy the beautiful surrounding area and the Elan Valley.
