Paul and Laura Roberts

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.
