The Salmon sleeps five guests comfortably across two bedrooms - one double and one triple bunk room separated by a zip door. The well-equipped kitchen includes an electric oven, two-ring hob and fridge with ice-box. There's a shared external shower facility with separate basin and WC. The living area features a large corner sofa and TV for evenings when the Welsh weather decides not to play nice.

Explore the market town of Rhayader (4.2 miles away, 10-minute drive), try a falconry experience, visit the River Wye for fishing or walking, or venture to Aberystwyth Castle and beach (1 hour drive). The Shropshire Hills AONB offers fantastic hiking just 30 minutes away.

The Salmon gives you the best of both worlds - outdoor adventure with proper comfort. The hot tub is always ready for when you return from exploring. Just bring sharp knives if you're serious about cooking!

The Salmon Reviews

Nicole
My kids and I loved every second of it
Hayley
The site was lovely, peaceful surroundings with plenty of space between each accommodation. The accommodation was clean and the shared facilities were spotless. The welcome hamper was a nice touch and even though the weather didn't allow a firepit, it was nice to be provided with wood had we been able to use it. We left a note for the property owner as there were a few maintenance things needing attention, nothing major but worth pointing out.
Edward
Had an amazing time in The Salmon tent. Slept 5 of us very comfortably, views were incredible and hot tub was clean and hot for when we arrived. A very small issue with one of the toilets being out of order for the weekend and the other not having a working light, meaning people would use the shower room for the toilet and those who wanted to just shower had to wait longer. Clean site and friendly owners, highly recommend!
The location and setting is absolutely beautiful with stunning views however ... The location and setting is absolutely beautiful with stunning views however there were no sharp knifes in the accommodation, one lady advised they are usually on the work tops which was shown in images however the lady who brought them said they weren't allowed to provide them
