Great welcome from the owners and they put on a late lunch for us. The room was spotless and comfortable with some great views from it especially after the snow had fallen. Very welcoming towards our guests who called to see us and some really good ales on offer. We certainly will be returning here on our visits to Rhayader .
A big thank you from Gareth and Carol.
