We just got back from a lovely weekend at Red Kite Stargazing Lodge. Honestly, the place is beautiful and super well-equipped. The deck with the hot tub is perfect for chilling out with friends or family. It’s so peaceful here, you could easily forget the world. Rhayader, the nearby town, is just a short drive away and has some nice spots to grab a bite-The Flag & Lamb is our fave. The scenery around here is stunning, especially Elan Valley with its reservoirs and dams-definitely worth a visit! We’ll be coming back for sure.
