Fantastic place
Had a fantastic stay, the only two things I would mention is it would be good to have a lock on the bathroom door and electric car charging points would be a benefit for a future stay.

Lovely stay
We had a lovely stay in Bluebell. It was peaceful and the hot tub was lovely to relax in. The only negative I would say about the site is that there is not a space to give your dog a good run unless you drive somewhere. That being said we would definitely return as it was a lovely place.

Just Incredible!
What an amazing few days! We wish we could have stayed longer! Everything about it from the gorgeous pod to the perfect garden to the hot tub and the play area and the little stream and the location and everything near by. It was just perfect in every single way! I can’t wait to find a reason to re book and come back!

Lovely
Having stayed in a shepherd hut last year, we booked 2 pods for a family stay and it was as wonderful as the first. The pods had everything we needed and was comfortable and warm. We would definitely stay again.

Stunning location and property
Absolutely lovely part of wales to visit, lots of great walks just a short drive away at Gilfach Nature Reserve, Elan Valley, Devil's Bridge and Hafren Forest. It was great to have the hot tub after a long hike and relax with the views of the valley and the sound of sheep. The property was a lovely size for the two of us and our dog who loved the enclosed garden. Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

Another great stay
This was the second time in ten months that we visited and stayed in Bluebell.
The accommodation is fantastic, home from home. We love the area, the walks with the dogs and also the peace and relaxation.
However , this visit was spoiled by the neighbours dog breaching the gate into our property’s garden and attacking our dog. Following this incident, I didn’t feel safe to allow my dogs in the garden and we left for home a day early.

Hi Jill
We are so pleased you have enjoyed your stay with us again and do hope to host you again in the future. It is great that we have so many returning guests.
I am sorry to hear about the neighbours dog, however we were not informed of this, had we have been told I could have done something about this for you, that being said we are changing the gates to be more suitable, to avoid problems like this occurring.

Premium Pods
Second stay in the pods. Spotlessly clean. Premium finishes, dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave.
Highlight is the hot tub and views over fields with lambs. Only scored down on location as it may be remote for some and not walkable to the nearest town Rhayader which is scenic with river walk, red kite feeding farm, co-op for essentials. Careful planning would remove the issue. We cooked pizzas, lasagne and bacon baps during our 2 night stay. We toasted marshmallows on the fire pit and star gazing is amazing here.
Only downside for us was the position of the new park and goal posts has obscured the once uninterrupted view. I wonder if different pods would have slighter better views?
We love the secure garden for our dog as she had the freedom to be outside with us at all times. Any problems you can text Becky the owner and she gets back to you straight away.
We’d love to stay for longer as it’s a complete reset here. We will be back again next year. We’re never disappointed! Reading through the guest book on arrival the comments are people who have enjoyed their first stay and can’t wait to book again or people who return and say how much they love it still- my family included
