The Searle, Nantmel

The Searle is a quirky single-storey apartment in a converted pub located in Nantmel, Powys. This cosy Welsh hideaway sits near the stunning Elan Valley with private hot tub and enclosed garden - perfect for couples looking to escape the daily grind. Just 3.8 miles from Rhayader, you're close enough to civilization but far enough to feel properly away from it all.

Mid-Wales doesn't get the credit it deserves. The River Wye flows just 0.3 miles away, offering gorgeous walks and fishing spots. Rhayader town provides shops and essentials while the magnificent Elan Valley delivers jaw-dropping scenery and reservoirs. Dog walkers will love the endless trails and pet-friendly setup - your four-legged buddies are as welcome as you are!

The accommodation features one king-size bedroom with en-suite walk-in shower. The kitchen/diner comes equipped with electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice box and dishwasher. The sitting room has an electric fire and TV for those nights when soaking in the hot tub gets boring (as if!). Off-road parking for two cars means no street parking hassles.

Visit the Red Kite Feeding Station (10 mins), explore Elan Valley's reservoirs (15 mins), browse Rhayader's antique shops (8 mins), or try fishing on the Wye (5 mins). The area's a paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors with hiking, cycling and wildlife spotting on your doorstep.

The Searle offers that rare combo of comfort and adventure. Soak in the hot tub after a day exploring, then collapse into that king-size bed. Who needs five stars when you've got a million overhead?
