We use three different areas and they are long distances apart. For instance, you wouldn't want to book accommodation in Pontrhydfendigaid and then find you are riding near Dolgellau - they are 90 miles and 2 hours journey from each other! Please ask if you are not sure where it would be best to stay.
A range of accommodation is available:
The accommodation is open plan with four beds upstairs and one small double bed downstairs. If there are six of you and one doesn’t mind "roughing it;" we can supply a mattress on the floor of the living area. Cooked breakfast is available to set you up for a day’s trail riding. The living area has Sky TV. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. There is a fridge, and a microwave with grill can be provided if you wish to be self-sufficient in the evening. Please note that parking is limited. One or two small vans or cars and trailers can be parked with us, but if there are more than two, some will have to be parked along the road from our house.

For trail riding, most people stay in the Llanidloes area, although the Machynlleth area may be better if you are doing two days riding with different start places.
