Trederwen Reviews

Photographs can be so deceptive and when we rolled up to the property, I thought it was a mistake as the property looked a bit dishevelled however when we got inside, everything was immaculate. Because of the weather, I didn't explore the garden which looked superb. Lots of birds were spotted, some we have never seen before. The facilities were great and the bed was the best sleep in a holiday let I have ever had. The walk into the village was short and enjoyable and the places of interests were great to vist, especially the Kite Centre.

Angela

Trederwen is one of the best properties we have had the pleasure to stay in. We stayed over Christmas and on arrival walked into a toastie warm house with all the Christmas lights on and a very generous hamper. There was milk in the fridge and logs for the fire. There is everything you could think of in the kitchen and in the lounge, books, dvds, information leaflets about walks and places of interest. The house is spacious and comfortable and it was spotless! There is an amazing garden which the dogs had great fun exploring. Mike and Sue were wonderful hosts who have guaranteed an amazing home from home for any guest.

Beautiful bungalow. ideal position. beautiful garden. very spacious and really comfortable. we wanted for nothing. one small detail. steps leading to garden were very slippery with moss engrained. a little bleach would help. did not prevent us from a great holiday.

Great location, central enough to walk into Rhayadar, and as a base to visit everything else nearby. The bungalow is clean, comfortable beds, everything you need, and a 2nd living room, with a log fire, and central heating throughout. We've been back to Trederwen over 5 years and enjoy it everything. Great garden for dogs, plenty of space.

Gillian

Great base to explore the Elan Valley and more. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Welcome pack was very welcome too

We had a wondeful holiday in Rhayader at Trederwen. IT was like a home from home for us. Everything we needed was there. The garden was very nice and perfect for our dogs to enjoy. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location is excellent and the town is a perfect base for exploring Wales. The kids also really enjoyed the close proximity ot he leisure centre where they enjoyed the swimming pool

Trederwen is a lovely bungalow. Clean, comfortable and excellently situated. Beds extremely comfortable. Rhayader has everything you need within 2 minutes walk. Mike is accommodating and really prompt to assist. Would recommend this property without hesitation.

A very homely bungalow situated in a charming little town with the best views walks cycle routes right on the door step. The bungalow is clean, tidy and equipped with everything you need. It has a beautiful garden too so ideal for pets or children to play in.

Rodney

A lovely homely feel , great location , so close to the town ,but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. Clean , comfy, dog friendly beautiful garden. Well equipped, and a great base to travel out from .

Graham

Great place to stay and visit the area. Our fifth visit which proves the point.

Our 3rd great holiday at Trederwen . Great location and a lovely bungalow with superb gardens

Dad and I stayed here for a week with our 2 little dogs. It's a lovely, clean, warm and comfortable property and the garden is fabulous, the dogs loved it so did we. Fantastic base to explore the local area, we will definitely be back.

Richard

Lovely property. Lots of space. Nice and warm. Unfortunately the drains in the main bathroom smelt terrible, which was a shame, because that bathroom has by far the best shower of the two. It was great that there were so many dvds to choose from, but sadly the dvd player can only be used in the garden room, which means lighting the log fire. The TV in the lounge was amazing, but having a dvd player in the lounge too would have been even better. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely, unexpected surprise, and very much appreciated. We had a lovely, restful holiday, doing not very much at all

A wonderfully warm and cosy home with lots of space and everything we needed plus more. The garden is huge and lovely to go in to watch all the birds. Lots of red kites to spot because the feeding station is 5 minutes up the road. The bungalow is in the perfect location, right by the shops and lovely walks, but up a drive so blissfully quiet. We had a lovely hamper left for us, which was such a nice surprise, and some teacoffeesugar in the cannisters and fresh milk in the fridge. Very thoughtful and appreciated. We fell in love with Rhayader, it's lovely community , shops and central location to so many beautiful nature reserves to walk around. We highly recommend Trederwen, the nicest place we've stayed at. We will definitely be returning.

Chrissie

This property is spacious and lovely. Our dogs enjoyed the garden and the garden room. It's so peaceful in Rhayader, we have stayed here about 4 times now and love it. To get into the property is quote a step up for those with mobility issues, but Mike has thought of everything, there is a sturdy ramp in the garage. This is a lovely holiday home at any time of the year.

Hayley

The property was immaculate. Everything we needed was on hand. It's our second visit, last time was May 2023 and we used the garden much more than this time. Especially like the size of property, good for 2 couples to have their own space.

Beverley

We love this bungalow, its so comfortable and has everything you need. Great location for local shops and pubs which are mostly dog friendly too. The welcome pack was very thoughtful. We will definitely be returning next year.

Amazing property in an amazing location! Very clean and comfortable with 2 lovely sofas, really well equipped kitchen and large garden which was completely secure for our elderly dog. The property is just behind the leisure centre and shops but was so quiet we could have been in the wilds. The town was bustling! So many pubs and handy shops, and walks without needing the car, but also beautiful countryside. We'd love to stay again, the only downside was that our dog didn't get on with the floors.

A fabulous location a couple of minutes walk from Rhayader town and within an easy drive from beautiful countryside. A fabulous welcome pack was provided. Although largely very clean, some areas were missed such as the very dusty skirting board under the kitchen radiator. There are woodlice getting in somewhere and we evicted half a dozen during the week from the main bedroom, corridor and bathroom. Overall though, it was a lovely place to stay and communication with the owner was very good.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The mature gardens are beautiful all round. The bungalow is spacious and well equipped with lovely interiorfurniture. The location is perfect with fabulous riverside walks in the town and close to access the Elan Valley and very helpful visitor centre. There are plenty of nice places to eat and drink on the doorstep as well. Met Mike who is a very friendly and helpful host and some nice friendly people out and about. Our 14 year old terrier Millie loved the gardens and getting about also.

Robert Kenneth

I spent the week at Trederwen with my son,daughter and Davy the dog. It felt very welcoming as soon as we entered,and it did not take long to feel at home.The property was clean,comfortable,spacious with a lovely decour.I am an 80 year old man and being close to the high street was ideal,2 minuets to chip shop,plenty of places to eat and drink.The garden is well maintained and secure.We would like to return as there are lots of places left to explore.Elan Valley worth a visit.

Dennis

Brilliant bungalow and garden. ziggy the dog loved the garden. only a short walk to 2 very good pubs. one slight problem for me being 82 years of age with walking problems was the height of the step at the front door

Graham

This is our fourth stay, so we must like it or we wouldn't come back. Excellent base to ride over the countryside.

Lovely property and large well maintained gardens. A wonderful welcome pack of food and wine was there to greet us upon arrival . A quiet location but only 3 or 4 minute walk to the centre of town .

Christina

Just returned from a lovely holiday at this bungalow. The place was clean,very comfortable and well equipped had everything we needed. The garden was beautiful and the bungalow was within easy walking distance to Rhayder. The bus stop was just across the road and we used it to visit Aberystwyth the drive was spectacular . There was so much to see and do in the area, Elan valley was certainly worth a visit, LLandrindod Wells Lake was lovely large Tesco Store there all within easy driving distance of the bungalow. We enjoyed it so much have already booked our return for next year !.

Good roomy house with good internals and appliances. Beds are good. Location is great. Garden is wonderful.

Gillian

Excellent bungalow in a great position. The garden looked lovely, unfortunately it was too cold and wet to enjoy it. Bedrooms overlooked the garden and the beds were very comfortable. There was a good fire in the conservatory that provided more than adequate heating. Good walking around the Elan valley reservoirs which were a short drive away, with plenty of parking.

Beverley

What a beautiful property. The welcome hamper was lovely and totally unexpected. The bungalow was warm and very comfortable. The garden is also a lovely space, we were lucky enough to sit outside one afternoon in the sun and it is a sun trap. The only issue we had was that our little dog could escape through the hedge into the lane. The owner has done his best to make it secure but not for our Jack Russells who caught the smell of something and were off. Cant wait to go back in October. Local amenities are great and some nice walks.

We had a lovely stay at Trederwen. Very comfortable and the Christmas decorations including a lovely decorated tree was an unexpected bonus. One of my sisters has mobility issues and, whilst she did manage to shower, I felt that, given there are two showerbathrooms in the property, one of them could have been more disability friendly. Might be a good marketing point going forward. However, would certainly recommend. Great.

Big 3bedroom bungalow with a huge garden right next to the town centre, close to pubs, bars, restaurants, and shopping facilities. Mike was very thoughtful, and the welcome basket was a big surprise for us but very needed after a fourhour drive in crazily heavy wind. There was an instruction book, with lots of useful information such as an introduction to the restaurants and bars, medical facilities etc and they even included information related to dogfriendly locations and the local vet. The only two issues we had were 1 the wooden floor being too slippery for our old dog and 2 the bedsheet was not breathable enough for my partner there seemed to be a plastic cover, which made him sweat a lot over the night. But I am sure they won't be a problem for most of the people. We had a nice stay there.

This property is everything it says. Great layout, both inside and out. A surprise hamper finished off the very warm welcome. You will not be disappointed if you choose this place.

Our first overnight visit to Rhayader, having only ridden thought on the motorbike previously. What a lovely place and excellent property, couldnt want for anything more. Great facilities, Pubs and food within 2 minutes walk. Excellent amount of space for 4 of us in the house and the garden for the dog. Will try and get back in the summer to make proper use of the garden and Kite watching.

Eileen

This was our fifth stay at Trederwen. To us it feels like coming home. It is always spotlessly clean and we always find something new has been added. The welcome basket is always a pleasant treat. There is always a good supply of cleaning products and soaps and toilet rolls etc. Beds are comfy and bedding immaculate. The garden is second to none. Well looked after and a pleasure to walk in. The bungalow itself is in a very good position because although the surrounding area is reasonably quiet it is around the corner from the varied shops and just a few doors down from the leisure centre. There are many places to visit within a short drive and for those that like to walk there are some beautiful scenic and riverside walks around. The people are all very friendly. Needless to say, we will be booking again next year.

We have stayed at Trederwen several times and keep returning because the cottage is large, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and all the appliances work well. The bedrooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The garden is large with a patio table, chairs and parasol perfect for a coffee in the sun. Mike and Sue are quick to react if there's a problem ensuring that your holiday is enjoyable.

Super bungalow with plenty of space Beautiful garden , lots to do locally The one thing that would of helped would be having a tumble dryer as we stayed during a very wet week !

This is a really nice holiday bungalow, very tidy with everything that we needed for the week. The bungalow and the garden are amazing. A good location for travelling to most places in Wales. We travelled North, West and South. We are planning on using this holiday accommodation again. Good communication from both Sykes and the owner before and after our holiday.

This was our fourth time to stay at Trederwen. Think that says it all about the lovely bungalow! Everything about it A1. We love staying there & so does Toby our dog. Also,people in Rhayader are so polite & friendly. Thanks to Mike Phillips for renting out this lovey bungalow & for the wonderful welcome hamper he always leaves. Wouldnt want to go anywhere else now. Been spoilt with Trederwen!! Looking forward to another stay there .

Eileen

We love this property and have booked yet another holiday. The owner has gone to a lot of trouble to make sure the bungalow meets my needs. Each time we visit he has added something new. This time it was a shower stool and new cushions on the one sofa. It's always spotlessly clean and there's also a great welcome pack. Being walking disabled the property meets all my needs and I couldn't ask for better.

This a lovely spacious 3 bed bungalow with a well equipped kitchen with a nice conservatory sun room, large gardens great for our two dogs. The town of Rhayader is really nice, lots going on a super friendly peope. We've personally had a super relaxed holiday, and will definitely return to this accommodation, and would certainly recommend to others.
