The Hall - also close by - is an impressive country mansion with gardens, which is open to the public. There are wonderful walking and cycling opportunities close to the village, as well as numerous trails and which incorporate the local woodland and rivers. The Cambrian Mountains and the spectacular Brecon Beacons are also close by and offer slightly more challenging terrain.

The Red Kite Feeding Station at Rhayader is within easy driving distance and offers a fantastic opportunity to see these rare birds at close range.
Reviews
"This is an excellent place to unwind and relax and a very spacious and comfortable accommodation. The owners, John and karen, are very friendly and make you feel so welcome,plenty of great places nearby to visit,Croft castle,Powis castle, Brecon mountain railway,Aberystwyth and the Bwlch Nant Yr Arian visitor centre to watch the Red Kites being fed to name but a few. John and Karen also own and run the pub next door and its a great place to meet the locals and there is always a warm welcome from Ben the dog and a few different ales to try."
"Very well designed former cow shed with en suite shower room. Oak beams and plenty of character. Bedrooms have amazing storage space. Owners pub next door open from 8pm excl. Sundays. Village Church worth a visit as are the Abbey ruins. Note 4 miles off main road which seems longer. Direct route to next town Rhayader is narrow but worth the views. Heating is by German semi storage electric panels which are very efficient and easily controlled. Lounge window faces North but good views to woods beyond. Plenty of walks from the door if you get decent weather."
"very pleasent holiday cottage.the interior was very welcoming,high standard and great for the family.i would recommend the everyone.the owners were so freindly."
"My wife, myself and two friends stayed at this lovely property during the week of the Royal Welsh Show and were overwhelmed by the friendliness not only of the owners, John and Karen Jones, but of the local people who frequented John and Karen's pub at night. The property is very well set-out and has everything you might need. The furnishings are comfortable and in very good condition. We had excellent weather during our stay and managed to sit out in the garden. This also gave us a chance to talk with the occassional passer-by, and walkers tackling Glyndwr's Way. The pub, which opens at 8:00p.m., Monday to Saturday, is a 30 seconds walk away from the house. The house is attached to a post office, operated by Karen, and opens two days a week. As you can see, this is a very rural retreat. It is, however, a short drive to local towns Rhayder, Builth Wells, etc, and lies in, and near, superb scenery, including the Elan Valley. There are also frequent sightings of Red Kites over the house. If you want somewhere to stay on this area you should consider Taylors Cottage as one of your options."
"From the start we were made to feel welcome with a tea tray and bara brith. The cottage is warm and has everything you'll need for a relaxing stay. The village is peaceful and the villagers very friendly. If you do stay in abbey-cwm-hir make sure you visit The Hall - its an experience not to be missed - a true jewel in Wales' Crown. The church in the village is very pretty and well worth a visit. We'll do our best to stay at Happy Union Stables again."
"The Happy Union Stables are perfect for a queit family getaway. The stables have been restored to a very high standard and its layout is perfect for a family (we had 2, so 4 adults, 2 babies and a 5 year old). The owners live next door in the wonderful pub and couldn;t be more helpful. The village is very quiet so bear this in mind if you're wanting somewhere with more things going on."
"the ottage was great throughout, lovely ensuite and bedroom. Well equiped kitchen, modern lounge area and facilities. Quiet village and the old world charm pub run by the owners of the cottage."
"Excellent holiday stay in a lovely area of mid wales. Super weather, lots to do and see and not too far from some wonderful beaches. Cottage was an excellent base, albeit a little off the beaten track but never the less it is a superb barn conversion, very comfortable and extremely well equiped & the owners are very welcoming & friendly."
"we had a fabulous Christmas. The cottage was extremely clean, warm and comfortable, ideal for a Christmas with minus 10 temperatures outside, for myself, my daughter and her husband and their children, aged 3 and 5.. The owners, who run the pub next door, were friendly and welcoming. I would recommend it to anyone for a winter break"
"Happy Union Stables is ideal for those who like the idea of staying in a romantic and tranquil setting. The cottage is lovely and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The bara brith provided on arrival delicious and devoured all too quickly by my sons. Cycling from the cottage was a delight as the roads were so quiet and safe and the Elan Valley and aberystwyth well worth a visit. A guided tour of the hall at abby- Cwm - Hir is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, very quirky and interesting. You can also round off the day perfectly with a drink at the Happy Union Inn."
