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! ##### Fay D.

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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Mar 6, 2024 #### 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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Sep 21, 2023 #### Great property Lovely property. Garden was very secure for the dog and the area was very quiet. We would definitely recommend.

Jul 9, 2024 #### 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. ##### annmarie h.

Highly recommended. Very clean and cosy with the underfloor heating . This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jul 9, 2023 #### 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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Oct 27, 2023 #### Perfect Mini Break Everything was excellent from beginning to end. Pod was immaculate and had everything we needed and more! Stunning location and only a short drive to some wonderful days out. Becky was so helpful with any questions we had. 10/10 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 15, 2025 #### 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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jun 15, 2024 #### Blue Bell 24 Amazing place for people and dogs. Loved the stay in the blue Bell it was perfect. The hot tub was amazing. The garden was perfect for us.. Will be booking again. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### jill b. Jun 2, 2024 #### 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. ##### jill b.
