"Could not fault the lodge at all."
The setting was beautiful and the lodge was well equipped and clean. There was an issue with flies, kind of expected with being on a farm, however it means you are completely unable to utilise the bifold doors or have any windows open in the nice weather. There was an issue with us receiving a noise complaint which was fine if that was the case, we were enjoying a birthday and it was before 9pm, but the way it was handled was extremely rude and when messages were sent to try and clarify the issue these were completely ignored. We also weren’t the only people making noise as another place was outside making noise until gone 11pm. Being a family run business we expected it to be a bit more welcoming but there wasn’t even so much as a hello when we were spoken to. This is a real shame as we would have come back with family it wasn’t for this.

"This lodge was perfect and in an idyllic setting."
Surrounded by sheep and farm fields. Very quiet neighbours and very private. The hot tub was checked and topped up regularly throughout our holiday which was very much appreciated thank you. The hot tub was perfect for our holiday, even in the rain. It was situated in a lovely enclosed area with a grass area and table and chairs and a fire pit to cook a bbq on. With sheep peeping through the fence. ❤️
Bathroom/showers all just perfect for us. Plenty of living room space with dishwasher and washing machine, full sized fridge and freezer, microwave ,ironing board and iron. Adequate crockery, utensils, cooking equipment. All double glazed windows and doors, beautiful blinds. The only thing I should have asked was how to put the outside lights on. We could see them on the wall but no clue as to how they worked.
The internet/wifi all seemed to work perfectly for us. We expected it to be a bit poor considering where we were but we had no problems.
The welcome pack and all the tea, coffee and sugar and milk came in very handy. The marshmallows and sticks were used on our last night. We made s’mores on the fire with the kindling and logs you left for us. You really had thought of everything.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We will be back again next year.

"Wow, picked this holiday on purpose after doing some research."
Property as in description and as can be seen in the pictures. Pictures speak for themselves.
Big bonus was the dishwasher and washing machine. Hot tub was very relaxing.
There is plenty of space within the property for a family of 4, plenty of space to park the car(s) and a big fenced off garden big enough to play frisbee / football.

"Most beautiful cabin in the most amazing location, extensive views from the hut tub and the patio."
Super easy to find, Dawn & Steve were on hand to maintain the hot tub, answer any questions we had and give us hits and tips on where to go. The welsh cakes, butter, fresh eggs and wine was a real nice, personal touch. The cabin was spacious, nice to have two double bedrooms. The board games came in handy on the one rainy day we had. Relaxing in the hot tub in the morning and both the evening watching the stars definitely was the icing on top of the cake. The cabin is a real credit to Dawn & Steve, thank you again for an amazing weekend.

It is a stunning place with spectacular views and is ran by an extremely helpful couple. You arrive to flowers, Welsh cakes and sweets on the table and wine, butter and milk in the fridge! The owners pop round daily to check the hot tub and are at the end of the phone if you have any problems at all. We had an absolutely lovely holiday here, we can't ecommend it enough.

"What an amazing cottage."
weve just returned home after a 2 week stay here From start to finish everything was perfect. what a find. there are 2 cottages side by side on the owners farmland. the neighbours are sheep (who regularly came to peer over the fence), chickens and cows. the building is well insulated as we didnt hear any noises from either the other cottage or the farm. the hottub was wonderful. Steve met us on arrival and showed us around. We had milk, butter, sweets, flowers, welshcakes and fresh eggs from the farm, tea, coffee, sugar and a bottle of wine waiting for us. what a lovely welcoming surprise. thank you Steve and Dawn for everything. The cottage is 5 miles from the nearest village Rhayader and 7 miles from Llandodrid wells. There are lots of wonderful places to visit. Its the perfect place to unwind and relax. With breath taking views, wonderful walks and a lovely mountain drive to the coast. We have all enjoyed every minute of our holiday and really didnt want to leave. The phone signal was fantastic and we had 4g wherever we went, even over the mountain drive, so we didnt need wifi. It was hot while we were there, but there are ceiling fans in every room to keep it cool, for cold days and nights, theres under floor heating, which we never needed to use.If you want a break away in rural Wales, with peace and quiet, then this is the place to go. Absolutey perfect

"Set in the beautiful countryside of Rhayader."
. Caban Nant Ddu did not fail to impress! We stayed there with our friends and never felt like we needed more space. Everything was exceptionally clean. Steve was very friendly and helpful. On our arrival they left us a bottle of wine, butter and milk in the fridge. They also left us a bowl of fresh eggs from the farm which were very tasty.
Rhayader is just a short drive up the road and has most things you would need. We went to Tesco on the day of arrival to get some essentials for the weekend and with it being a large store there wasn’t anything we couldn’t get, so you don’t need to pack the kitchen sink.
For something to do we went for a lovely walk around the dams one day and went to Aberystwyth another, and with the weather being stunning it made for a fantastic weekend away for my wife’s birthday..
Overall a fantastic weekend away, we will certainly come again. If I were to pick something that let it down it would be no WiFi, there’s a smart tv with Netflix n things but with no WiFi we couldn’t watch it on an evening. That could also been seen as a positive if you’re trying to get away from every day life so take that comment how you want lol.
Will be coming back Rikki and Ella
