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 outdoor enthusiasts with hiking, cycling and wildlife spotting on your doorstep.
The Searle offers that rare combo of comfort and adventure. Soak your bits 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?
