Carno Vacation Rentals

"This is a beautiful hotel/pub with a breath taking view over the Dyfi estuary. Set in cottages built in 1750s it has lovely nooks and crannies and quirky floor levels but the beds and bathroom are all first class. Notes worth knowing, the Hotel is 100 yards from the Penhelig request train stop but the hotel does not have a carpark. There is a public carpark around the corner at £15.75 a day or a few on road parking free 6pm to 9am."

"Amazing "

"Pet-friendly BUT you need to know that the guesthouse is just a small part of a large caravan and camping site. There’s also a field of horses. Guesthouse clients with dogs are only allowed in rooms accessible from the outside; we weren’t allowed inside the building. So my room opened directly onto the access road, with all the mud and noise that comes from all the traffic, walkers, and horses that passed in front of the door and small window. The staff can’t be criticised. There seemed to be only 2 that I saw, and they were very helpful. But the guesthouse clients were supposed to be self-checkin and out, except I was NOT notified of my room number or that my name would be on a big notice on the door which I drove past. My room was clean on arrival but impossible to keep that way because of the mud, but I also had a small ant infestation, so couldn’t keep bags on the floor, but there was only the bed and a dining chair to put them on. I didn’t report the ant problem to the staff, because there was nowhere else for me to be moved, and I didn’t want the room treated whilst my stuff was in it. Description stated there was a terrace, but my room certainly didn’t have one. I assume that was where the door into the house was, because there was a small table and chairs outside the main door. So I expect other reviews will depend on where they were situated. My room was a single, allowing dogs. "

"Warm welcome, nice room, good food and beer, excellent breakfast!"

"Stayed for 2 nights,"

"Excellent breakfast. No lift to second floor which was disappointing but staff were on hand to help with bags. Central location ideal. Staff were always cheerful and smiling which was lovely to see. "

"The hotel is in a perfect location for exploring Devil's Bridge and the surrounding area. We visited the Elan Valley dams and reservoirs, the Silver Mountain and Aberystwyth. The Hotel looks stunning from the outside and inside. A lot of care has gone into every detail of the hotel. Our room was on the top floor. It was very cool and quirky, just a little bit musty smelling. (We couldn't open the windows without a load of bugs flying in so had to keep them closed unfortunately.) The bathroom looked cool but there was nowhere to put anything! Our arrival wasn't the best. We had travelled a fair distance and arrived at 7, when staff were busy with dinner. We rang the bell a few times, we were ignored by staff rushing around with dinner and drinks orders. I asked someone at the bar for help, who said they would ask someone to come and see to us. We kept waiting and eventually I managed to stop someone who just gave us the key card and told us our room was on the top floor. But then, the complete opposite service occurred on our second and third nights when one particular member of staff was really kind, friendly and helpful when we were looking to get a table for dinner. I forgot to get her name but she was amazing and really made our stay. "

"Clean room. Frirndly staff. Located in a pretty village with lots of shops, restaurants and cafes. Close to Hafren Forest, Elan Valley."

"I booked the hedgehogs view as a suprise to celebrate my husband's 50th. I was quite apprehensive about the size as although we were only a party of 4 and a dog, we do all value our own space. From the moment we pulled on to the drive we were amazed at the little Hobbiton village in mid Wales. There's a good amount of space inside the accommodation; nobody bumped their heads gandalf style. Everywhere was very clean and well kept. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean and had everything we needed. I have given a 4 for comfort as the beds were quite hard (that's only my opinion). I The views are amazing. If you get a clear night sit outside, the night sky is just as good as the day. I was wary when I discovered the goats were free to roam. Our dog was desperate to make friends with them but they weren't so willing but hey kept themselves out the way, just happily grazing. The Highland cows and 3 calves were a happy sight We went exploring the beautiful Elan Valley and its many picturesque dams. We went to the nearby village of Rhayader had dinner at the Crown which was lovely. Everything was beautiful and we will definitely return."
