Loved the room , it was so comfy and cosy looking xx Bed was so comfortable, and we had coffee, sugar, tea etc , which is always a must for us . Everything we needed for our stay. Towels also provided, although they were a little small for us, but not a major problem as we usually take our own too x Hairdryer provided which is always a must for me , and I usually would bring my own, so that's one less thing you beed to pack ! Mirrors provided in bathroom and on bureau desk in the main room , so that's a plus , as I always use a mirror for when I'm doing my hair or putting cream/ makeup on. Pretty much thought of everything , so we'll done to all the Sraff at the Bear xxx

Nothing at all to dislike x

The room was lovely and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Good shower facilities. The room was nicely tucked away - so no noise from the street. The owner was really lovely and friendly, very helpful. I booked a breakfast which was really good and just what I needed before heading off on a busy day!

Only downside was being the first room as you walked into the B&B entrance, anyone coming in late at night, would inevitably wake you up. The owners had put up signs to ask guests to be considerate and make no noise between 11pm and 7am, however, not everyone is considerate unfortunately.

Fantastic location right in the center of Rhayader minutes walk to great local pub, cafe, coop and fish & chip shop, leisure center and bus station. Great location for exploring the mountain trails. Also reachable entirely by public transport from Manchester airport. Comfortable and clean with plenty of space.

The only two things I would recommend and one is a must the other just a suggestion; 1) please please paint some gripper paint on the decking. It was warm and wet when I stayed (not icy) and the decking was so slippery that I went flying onto my back in super grippy trail shoes! If this was an older person they could really do an injury and you don’t want to deal with that. 2) only other suggestion would be a microwave for early morning / late evening snacks - esp if heading up Into the hills very early.

Sian was welcoming and friendly. The property was easy ish to find, but parking was good. Sian met us at the car as we parked and handed us the key whilst telling us about the property and asking about breakfast. The room was spotless and very well-appointed, much better than some .ore expensive hotels. It was a good size and very comfortable. If I were pushed to find fault, it would be that the towels were too small. However, that is very much a personal choice, and the towels did what they were supposed to do. I would definitely stay here again.. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Lovely well equipped rooms with en suite shower, toilet and basin. It was cosy and warm with a hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities. Tv and storage for bags etc. located in the high street, plenty of pubs for food and breakfasts although the Bear do provide a breakfast if required. Close to the Elan Valley. Plenty to do and come back for a hot shower and a relaxing evening.

Sian was so hospitable , the breakfast was fabulous , we felt very well looked after , able to ask anything , we enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night! The location was superb , we could park near the entrance so everything felt easy and relaxing.

We liked everything about our stay and accommodation . It rained most of th time but the cafes and pubs were all in short walking distance and the dams in the valley were all the more spectacular because of the rain and the water powering out at the dams and waterfalls.

Sian was a brilliant host -extremely helpful and friendly Our bikes were in a secure, locked location Breakfast was good - I just had toast (but could have had a full Welsh) although I would have loved Marmite instead of marmalade or jam!

I was in a twin room which was long and narrow and there wasn't a lot of space between the bedsteads and the wall - hence in my tired state after cycling all day I cracked my leg on the wooden bedstead! So beware!

The facilities in the room were excellent as was the breakfast room. All clean and well looked after. I would suggest that the facilities we used had been refurbished to a high standard in the last two or three years, and well looked after since then. Siân, our host, was very cheerful and nothing was too much trouble.

The only downside experienced during our stay was the weather and we knew to expect torrential rain in Wales! We were prepared for that and our waterproofs kept us dry walking to the pub for an evening meal and a pint.

Thankyou to Sian and Gwil for yet another comfotable stay in The Bear. This is the third time we have stayed ,and each time, Sian especially cannot do enough to make you feel comfortable. She is absolutely lovely.It is exceptionally clean, and rooms have everything you need including wifi and plenty of plug sockets in accessible places. Bed was comfortable, loved the sky light in the room and breakfast ( i think cooked by Gwil) was delicious. Its an excellent location for the Elan valley, Sian locks our cycles in her shed which is very useful, and there are plenty of small independent shops and places to eat ( would recommend The Crown). Well done and thank you both, we will be back for a fourth stay at some point hopefully!

Nothing all good

The room was spotless. It was plenty large enough and with coffee and tea for two.

The only thing to know is to bring cash if you take the breakfast, which is extra (£10pp). Unless there are more than 4 people.paying in one go, they can't accept cards. There is a free ATM in the off license. The one next to the livestock market in what looks like a telephone cabin charges an extortionate amount (not the fault of the B&B but worth knowing)
