    clean room
    helpful owner

    I stayed in the Deluxe Double Room with Shower for 1 night. The bed was super comfy, and the shower was really good. The room was clean and quiet, tucked away from street noise. Breakfast was awesome and just what I needed. The owner was friendly and very helpful! 😊

    inconsistent heating

    A warm welcome in Rhayader

    From the moment we arrived, Sian welcomed us like family. The spacious room was beautifully decorated and had all the comforts, including a well-stocked tea and coffee tray. Breakfast was a highlight, with hearty portions and delightful flavors.

    The heating in the room was a bit inconsistent, which made it a little chilly at times. the warmth of the hospitality made up for the minor discomfort.

    charming character
    lack of heating
    poor cleanliness

    Charming character that added to the experience.

    We were extremely disappointed with the lack of heating in our room. Despite our call for assistance, there was no response, leaving us cold and uncomfortable during our stay. The cleanliness standards were unacceptable, with dusty skirting boards and mold in the bathroom, which greatly affected our overall impression.

    cozy room
    warm welcome
    impressive cleanliness
    small towels
    minor inconvenience

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Bear. Sian's warm welcome made me feel right at home, and the cozy double room with the skylight allowed for a delightful view of the stars. The cleanliness and decoration were truly impressive.

    Towels could be larger.

    slow check-in
    waiting outside

    The lovely room with cozy oak beams made my stay super enjoyable! Clean and fresh amenities were a plus. Just wished the check-in was quicker, as I was left waiting outside for a bit. 😊

    breakfast options
    uncomfortable mattresses

    honestly, I expected a complimentary upgrade, yet here I am, feeling like just ‘another guest’. I almost gave a good review but just couldn’t.

    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    welcoming host
    cramped bathroom

    Had a fantastic getaway with friends! The location is perfect for exploring, and our host was exceptionally welcoming. The breakfast options were delicious, especially the hearty Welsh breakfast. We enjoyed activities at the pump track and visited the nearby Gigrin Red Kite Feeding Station. The room was cozy and had everything we needed, including tea and coffee supplies.

    One downside was the bathroom size—it felt a bit cramped, but it was manageable during our stay.

    clean room
    updated rooms

    Just an appropriate option for a brief stopover in Rhayader with good value considering the price it charged. The rooms appeared to be updated recently and were really clean. Make sure to check the nearby ATM options for cash if you're opting for breakfast.

    delicious breakfast
    personalized experience

    comfortable stay but could be more personalized

    The room was spacious and had a charming character that added to the experience. Sian, the host, was incredibly friendly and always available for assistance. The breakfast exceeded my expectations—with fresh ingredients and generous portions. I appreciated the beautiful decor and lovely garden view, making it an ideal spot to unwind.

    I would have liked a more personalized touch during my stay.
