Our places in Rhayader
Couples can find small one-bedroom places at a fraction of the usual nightly price, while family cabins with two or three bedrooms sit well above it. A week costs about the same in winter as outside it, so the time of year matters less here than the size of the place. Average capacity is just over four guests, which suits couples, small families and two couples sharing.
If you are travelling as a family or a group of four and want a hot tub and some outdoor space, this detached lodge in Rhayader, Powys, is worth a look.
If you are travelling as a family or a group of up to six, this detached lodge in Rhayader, Powys, gives you 1,400 sq ft of space on one level of facilities.
Rhayader sits on the edge of the Elan Valley in mid Wales, and the lodges around it are built for short breaks with a hot tub as standard. Almost every place has one, so the choice comes down to size, setting and what else is on site rather than whether you get a tub at all.
Prices vary a lot. A usual night is dearer than you might expect for rural Wales, yet the cheapest nights found are well below that, mostly in small places for two. Larger cabins for five or six cost clearly more, and the biggest sleeps 10. Guests rate the stays highly, at 9.1 out of 10. Around two thirds accept pets, a third have a log burner, and saunas are rare. If you want somewhere to fish, a garden or a stay with a dog, there is enough choice to narrow down without compromising on the hot tub.
Features
The hot tub is close to universal, with 80 of the 81 places offering one. Gardens come next, at around 85% of places, and fishing is available at over four in ten. Log burners appear in about a third, and those places usually cost more than the typical hot tub stay. Sauna is rare, with only two places, and a lake view is listed once. BBQ is offered at a few places and those tend to be among the cheaper ones. High chairs are provided at about one in five, which helps if you are travelling with a baby.

By number of guests
Places for two are the cheapest per night, but per person they are the dearest, because one bedroom is shared by only two people. The best value per head is in the group that sleeps three or four, with two bedrooms. Cabins for five or six are the largest group on offer, with 30 places and three bedrooms usually. If you are a group of four, a two-bedroom cabin usually works out cheaper per person than splitting two small ones.
Prices rise steadily from November through to April. November is the cheapest of the months shown, and April the dearest, with a clear step up from February onwards. Availability also changes. In November fewer than half the places still have free dates, while from January about two thirds or more do. If you want a short break at the lowest price, early winter is cheaper, but you will have a narrower choice. Late winter has more free dates and costs a little more.

Around Rhayader
Nearby villages and towns give you other options if Rhayader is full or too dear. Llandrindod Wells has the most places of the six, at 34, and the lowest starting price among the larger ones. Llanddewi Ystradenny has the cheapest starting price of all, though with only 8 places. Saint Harmon has 23 places, Nantmel 17 and Dolau 15, with starting prices that sit in between. Felindre is the smallest alongside Llanddewi Ystradenny, so choice there is limited.
Yes, about a quarter of the places sleep two and they are the cheapest by the night. Most have a hot tub, and some add a log burner or accept dogs. Per person they cost more than a cabin for three or four.
Do many Rhayader cabins have a log burner?
About a third do. They tend to cost more than the typical stay with a hot tub. If you are travelling in winter, check the features of each place before booking.
Is there a sauna?
Only two places have one, so it is rare. Both also have a hot tub. If a sauna matters to you, book early as the choice is very small.
Which month is cheapest for a break?
Of the months shown, November is the cheapest and prices rise through to April. Fewer places have free dates in November, so you may need to be flexible on size or location.
