The Bear Guest House, East Street, Rhayader, Powys, Mid Wales, LD6

The town of Rhayader is nationally known being a landmark and strategic position in Central Wales where two major trunk routes, the A44 and the A465 North to South Trans Wales Route cross. It is in the heart of a rich rural community and a known stopping place for those visiting the Cambrian Mountains, Upper Wye Valley and The Elan Valley Lakes. The area is synonymous with country pursuits with fishing, cycling, walking and mountain biking all being prevalent in the area.
