Motorcycle touring. Dick has the place really well set up with covered and motion sensor lit parking and big ground anchors. Cannot recommend enough - clearly has asked "What would bikers like"?
The location in Rhyader is slap bang in the centre of Wales and it's perfect roads. The Town has lots of places to eat and drink well (but don't bother with the Elan Hotel unless you have to).
The breakfast is pretty much anything you could want and is prepared on order. No aged fried eggs here.
The house and bedrooms are spotless clean and the bed comfy.
In the old town area, just 5 minutes’ walk from the River Wye, this 200-year-old Welsh stone building is rich in original character and traditional charm, with wood beams and exposed stonework.
With a picturesque village location in Rhayader, Elan Hotel is surrounded by scenic Powys countryside. The traditional inn features a restaurant and cosy bar with free Wi-Fi.

Perfect venue for investigating mid Wales and the Elan Valley. Small town but has everything you need for a self catering holiday, the right shops and takeaways if you want them, but if you prefer to go out and be fed, all the pubs serve food. Astonishing area with the mountains, rivers and general countryside. Couldn't ask for more

Five pubs within a stones throw of each other in the main square. My kind of town.
The Crown was excellent and recommended by three different random strangers
Best stocked co-op I’ve ever seen 😆
Friendly people in the shops and pubs.

The Triangle has good food and proper beer.
The Triangle has good food and proper beer. Also The Lamb and Flag serves a good pint of Cwrw. You must visit the 5 reservoirs whatever the weather. We only managed 2 on our 3 day visit as the weather was poor. However as it rained so much the overtopping of Claerwen dam was spectacular to see and hear.

Everything you could need is there.
Everything you could need is there. Friendly welcoming community. Excellent pubs, cafes and takeaways. Good shops. Prices very good. Lots of places to visit.localy. Remember there's no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing. Everywhere is dog friendly.. We love Elan, great visitor centre, with gift shop, not overpriced and a coffee shop with great food, dog and child friendly. Great place to burn off excess energy, walk, bike,or run. Cheap parking, free hour or £3 all day. Lots of wild life and facilities for disabled people.

We came to Rhayader to go round the Elan Valley dams as we do each New Year. This time we decided to stay overnight and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in spite of the torrential rain. Whilst we enjoyed bed and breakfast at The Bear, we dined in the Crown in the evening where the food was excellent and the beer was good as well. The staff were great at the Bear and the Crown.
The Elan Valley and its dams, built to supply Birmingham with water and opened about 120 years ago, just a mile of two from Rhayader are well worth a visit to see the Victorian engineering. The Visitor Centre, as well as serving brilliant bacon baps and a cuppa, also houses a museum and shop where there is so much information about building the dams and the things that you can do in the valley like walking, cycling, bird watching and much more. We had a good time there.

Hafod Hardware shop is a must as its sells an eclectic mix of items and a visit to the tearoom by the clock tower. The only negative would be the lack of understanding of most drivers on how to negotiate the roads around the clock tower !
This place is located on the road between Rhayader village and the dams. It’s secluded and quiet. The village itself is fairly busy and noisy so the quiet is great.
Our room was at the back part of the house. Very roomy with a huge bed. Everything was clean and very comfortable, other than the bathroom.
The hosts do serve a limited menu dinner which was not outrageously priced and was quite good. Breakfast was excellent.
The hosts, including their old dog, are helpful, friendly and worth a chat.
We booked this cottage for over the Christmas period, it was our 1st Christmas holiday away. The Cottage is beautiful and so was the location, right near shops and for nice walks.
The cottage itself was clean, spacious, and everything you need.
The hosts were great and popped in during our stay to set up the hot tub, and even dropped off some beers and fizzy as a gift which was a lovely touch. Would 100% recommend and will return at some point as we loved it so much
Lovely location in the centre of Rhayader so very convenient for shopping or going out for meals. The house is set back from the road and so is very quiet. The area for parking is spacious and there was outdoor seating (suitable for meals outdoors) at both the front and back of the house. The house was very modern, nicely furnished and the kitchen facilities were excellent. The wifi worked really well too. Overall the house was outstanding value for money.
The beautiful Elan Valley is only 3 miles away. Ty Morgans is certainly central to Rhayader with a number of pubs within just a few metres. Free on-street parking was close-by. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The public areas of Ty Morgans were very clean. Ty Morgans was reasonably priced as are the other establishments in the business and so were all good value for money.
Stayed at this hotel multiple times when motorcycle touring in Wales.
Staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Great location next to the Elan Valley
Onsite parking for our 6 motorcycles
Good bar menu and very tasty freshly cooked breakfast
Reasonable accommodation rates, food and drinks prices all very reasonable
The location of the hotel was ideal for walking the dam and Rhayader walks. The breakfast was excellent all local produce. The room we had was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We had evening food on both days of our stay and found the food excellent and good value.
Had an amazing stay here, food was delicious! Really cosy, friendly atmosphere. Perfect for a one night stay for a solo traveller and her dog.
Great location for me as it was a midway point for my journey up north and easily accessible to the nearby dams and waterfalls.
Rhayader is a beautiful community situated near Brecon Beacons National Park. The Guesthouse is within walking distance of the town center. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, breakfast was great, staff were very engaging & helpful. We had a very nice visit.

We enjoyed our dinner there. The room was very nice. The staff was helpful. We would go there again. The hotel is right downtown near a few shops with beautiful historic buildings.
Excellent location for places of interest; Elan Valley dams, Aberystwyth, Builth Wells are easy to travel from the hotel. The staff were fab, the food was lovely. Can't fault anything
