I will try to stick to the facts, and let you make your own opinion based on them. The hotel was very easy to find, conveniently located, and check-in was straightforward. Parking was plentiful, but a bit of a squeeze through tight corners in the laneway to get to it, so hopefully you are driving a very small car. Don't... More

We were made very welcome. The room, looking on to the hills, was clean and comfortable with some very nice extra touches - fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit, bottles of water and a well stocked tray. Meals were of a good 'average' standard, freshly cooked. It was an ideal place for touring the area, and we had perfect weather.... More

Did not want to get out of the car when we arrived. Online Pictures were more inviting. Very warm welcome, but not so warm when they saw my walking stick. You have to read between the lines if you have a mobility problem in Rhayader because there are no Hotels in Rhayader that cater for the less mobile. I did... More

We decided to go out for the day on Valentines Day and ended up in Rhayader. We stopped for lunch at the Elan Hotel but it truly spoied our day out. Although the waitress was friendly enough the place was freezing cold, there was no water in the ladies toilet for hand washing and the chips tasted of rancid fat.... More

The exterior is rather unprepossessing and the entrance to car park is quite narrow. However whilst the building could do with updating and a bit of redecoration, this place is very good value (£70 for dinner, bed & breakfast). The food is tasty and generous in terms of portion size, with good choice. The room I stayed in was reasonable... More

Stayed here before it was refurbished so was expecting may be more - but then again at £68 per room per night including breakfast not that bad. The rooms have been modernised, but after two years they are already showing signs of wear and tear and I felt the carpet was dirty, there were two air freshners in the room,... More

We stayed for one night in early december arriving about 20:45. Parking is tight at best, however the landlord very kindly moved his own car into the street so we could park off road. As it was absolutely lashing down at the time this was a fine gesture indeed. We had the restaurant to ourselves, as I said we had... More
