- MikeGlossop, UK616 contributionsWell worth the walk up from Rhayader. Craig Goch is particularly impressive with the water cascading over the top. Caban Coch was dry when I visited, but the bright green moss on the face of the dam makes an interesting photo none the less.Written March 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Natalia A9 contributionsAbsolutely stunning place, gardens are spectacular, staff very friendly and helpful, well worth a visit any day, can't take pics or vids inside but it is truly magnificent, the toilets were very clean, free parking and for only £15 it is money well spentWritten March 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

One thing : Why do they cut all the trees around!? It's very sad and you can barely have a walk because of thatWritten March 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We attended a Family Raptor Experience (family of 4 with teenage children), and had an incredible time learning about the fabulous birds. Barry and Luce were super welcoming to us, and are so knowledgable and passionate about their birds and the environment They spoke with infectious enthusiasm, and we learned loads during this very interactive experience. It is clear to see Barry and Luce put their birds’ welfare first, and these beautiful animals thrive in their Welsh home. Thank you for our amazing experience!Written November 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Roger BAberystwyth, UK279 contributionsThey're closed a few days each week as it's sort of off-season while the Ospreys are bag in Africa. But we popped in on a Sunday Morning and had a fabulous coffee and equally fabulous cake.

- Voyager635232915211 contributionThis beautiful building holds alot of memories for our family. My Mum & Dad held their after wedding party there over 60 years ago when it was know as the Shire Hall and more recently my husband and I held our 25 wedding anniversary there. 💕Today we visited with our Mum to begin the festive celebrations. Unfortunately the lift wasn't working but that didn't stop the army of volunteers jumping to our aid and kindly offering to carry my Mum in her wheelchair up the steps to gain entrance! The rooms looked beautiful, with a huge Christmas tree tradionally decorated, roaring fires and pots of delicious tea and cakes to enjoy while we sat and soaked up the atmosphere. We had a lovely afternoon, meeting lots of people and popped along into the well stocked shop for a few Christmas presents! Thankyou Gabby, her team and all the volunteers for your warmth and kindness, it was very much appreciated and created a very special visit for us all.

- oOmaundOoShrewsbury, UK38 contributionsHidden gem! We have visited a few times before to walk around the gardens and stop off in the cafe. Today we went for the Christmas Fair. I was so happy with the free mulled wine on arrival. Lots of lovely local stalls. Got some cheese, Christmas gifts, and flavoured oils. There were chestnuts roasting, choirs singing, and it was just so beautiful. I couldn't think of a better setting. We'll 100% be there next year 😀Written December 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

The mill has a good cafe,which also sells bread making kits and bread made on the premises.
