Excellent location and very quiet apart from a small nearby stream. Beautiful natural landscape and a calming atmosphere. Dark skies were great to see including the Milky Way and we timed our visit for a meteor shower which was spectacular. Amazing wildlife, lots of birds - Nuthatch were biggest I've ever seen - and we even spotted Polecats. Rivers and hills are all great, walking the reservoirs is stunning and can be as long or short jaunts. Don't miss opportunity to go inside Pen Y Garreg dam on one of the limited open days. As with any parts of UK countryside, take insect repellent if there's a hatch. Town of Rhayader is lovely with shops and local produce. Gilfach Nature Reserve is nearby and great too. Elan Valley visitor centre has all the info on the area dams, reservoirs and activities that you need.

Not a gripe but a comfy chair or sofa after a long day of walking the beautiful hills would have made it perfect.

So well thought out. Everything you need.

Would have been a 10 out of 10, but the the track up the hill not great.

The location of the carthouse was stunning,in the valley amongst the nature and the stream flowing by .Kitchen was above my expectations,it had all the appliances one could ask for. The bathrooms were sparkly clean and so was the kitchen and the bedrooms. Wifi was the unexpected bonus!! as the valley have network issues Wifi saved the trip.

Firstly the gravel passage was very annoying, our car could not pass through , we had to park it near the gate and do rounds taking the stuff up and down .It was very exhausting . Secondly, the beds were squeaky and the rooms need a heater as it gets cold.

A wonderful place in a beautiful location. Exceptionally clean throughout and the barn that operates as a shared kitchen / dining area is really well kitted out with everything you would need. A great log burner with plenty of wood provided.

As there is no heating in the bedrooms and we went just after a very cold spell, this was a bit of a problem to some in our group!

Such a clean, tidy place, the community kitchen had everything and the log fire made the evening.

The rooms where very cold with no heating. This wouldn't stop me returning bit would do so with a heater.

Beautiful valley. Amazing night full of stars 🌟. All facilities were very clean and fresh. I do like the basic finish of the rooms. Peaceful and relaxing.

Basic electric heater may help with mold.

We were looking for something rustic and basic as a base for exploring parts of the country. This had what we were looking for in that department. Very clean. All the essential amenities. Stunning location. Will definitely pay another visit.

It was very cold and consequently a bit damp in the room we stayed. Some sort of heater in the room (or log burner) would have solved the problem and made the difference.
