  • "We visited the Pondarosa for a 40th birthday weekend with family."

    The house was well equipped with everything we could need. There were lots of little touches that made our stay very comfortable, and we felt that the owners really had thought of everything. The games room had lots of things to keep the children entertained. There was plenty of space for the 12 of us to sit inside or outside together. The hottub was a hit for the kids! Would definitely stay again.

  • "We had an amazing time at Pondarosa!"

    The property is lovely, with lots of space and the everything we could need. We loved the hot tub, and the fact the hosts came to check the water quality every day was really reassuring. It rained quite a bit during our weekend stay, but we didn't mind as we played in the games room and had plenty of space to be indoors together. We hope to visit again in future. :-)

    Hi Hannah & Family, So glad that everyone had a lovely stay and that you loved the house as much as we do. The games room is definitely a well liked addition. Thank you again and we would love to see you again. Thank you Gail, Jane & Buzz Property Owner

    The house was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The facilities were excellent, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The hot tub was a hit with everyone and we loved the games room! With more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms, everyone had their own space, while managing to spend time with each other. Our host, Jane, was exceptional, going above and beyond to accommodate our requests and ensure we had a wonderful experience. Thanks so much for the opportunity to stay here, we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped getaway!

The property

Enjoying a fantastic setting in the heart of the attractive village of Newbridge on Wye near Llandrindod Wells in Powys, Mid-Wales, Pondarosa is the ideal location for a large holiday party getting together for a truly memorable break and is a superb base from which to explore this beautiful part of the world.

Outside, there is ample off-road parking with delightful gardens to the front and well-maintained, enclosed gardens to the rear with lawns and a patio area, making it the perfect spot for spending time alfresco and soaking up the sunshine whilst on holiday here.

On entering the property, visitors will be amazed by how deceptively spacious it is, with a good-sized sitting room welcoming guests in with comfy seating and a feature log burner, helping to create an inviting ambience.

Walk through to the open-plan kitchen/diner, which is equipped with everything needed to whip up culinary delights for the holiday party.

The designated chef will be more than happy with the space and amenities on offer here and you can imagine spending many a happy hour here eating, drinking and enjoying spending quality holiday time together.

A great alternative space for guests to have fun is the games room.

With six well-appointed bedrooms to choose from, everyone is catered for and guests can take their pick from a king-sized, super-king-sized or a twin on the ground floor or either a king-sized or super-king-sized with en-suites, and a twin on the firs floor.

There is no need to worry about queuing for the bathroom either, with a bathroom and a shower room on the ground floor.

Wake up in the morning refreshed and raring to go, enjoy a coffee on the patio area outside and plan your activities for the day.

There is so much to see and do in the region around Pondarosa, it can be hard to know where to begin.

Stroll into the delightful village of Newbridge on Wye and pick up holiday essentials and stop off for a pint, or hop in the car and head to the Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells, which is just a short drive away.

Here, you will find an impressive selection of Victorian and Edwardian architecture and a great collection of independent shops and eateries.

The town is known for its lake at Llandrindod Wells Lake Park, which is a popular spot to bring a picnic on sunny days and from here, you can head off for all kinds of walks and hikes from the most gentle to something a little more adventurous.

If you’ve got a taste for the great outdoors, head to destinations such as Radnor Forest and Elan Valley, or for the ultimate in healthy hikes, outstanding scenery and captivating wildlife, take a trip to the Brecon Beacons, which are a short drive from Llandrindod Wells and well worth a visit.

The National Cycle Museum is worth taking the time to visit whether you’re a cyclist or not; it offers a fascinating insight into the history of two-wheelers from the Penny Farthing through 200 years of history and bringing things bang up to date with the latest, cutting-edge carbon fibre machines.

With 250 items on display and 6,000 square feet of space, there is certainly plenty to see and the venue is child and dog-friendly.

Rock Park is a Grade II listed area of green space, which is perfect for getting some fresh air and a healthy walk.

Dating back to the 1860s, check out the park’s arboretum, river trails, sculptures and Victorian spa buildings.

The attractive Welsh market town of Rhayader is a great location for a holiday outing and other towns and villages worth visiting in the region include Builth Wells, Hay on Wye and Welshpool, which offer different attractions and activities, but all give equally friendly welcome to visitors.

The possibilities are endless with a trip to Pondarosa and one visit just isn’t enough.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £650.
