Guests say
The Searle is praised for its cleanliness and modern interior, with a comfortable bed and a hot tub adding to the experience. However, there are concerns about the maintenance of the outside area and the completeness of kitchen supplies. The location's proximity to a busy road and a petrol station has been noted as less than ideal.
Cleanliness
Reviews consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of the interior, with multiple guests highlighting the spotless condition. However, one review noted dirty utensils, slightly lowering the score.
Location
The location receives mixed feedback. While the area is appreciated for dog walking, the proximity to a busy road and a petrol station, as well as the lack of a garden, detract from the peacefulness expected from a cottage.
Comfort
Guests find the bed very comfortable and the interior cozy. However, the lack of wardrobe space and the noise from the road have affected the comfort level for some.
Facilities
The hot tub is a highlight, but issues with kitchen equipment, a leaking hot tub, and general disrepair of the outside space suggest that the facilities require attention.
Thoughtfulness
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.

Rhayader is a tiny Welsh market town featuring a variety of cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, services, and antiques from the area. a recreation centre with a sizable pool and a regular livestock market is an added plus.
