Good food is essential to any holiday or short break and here at Guidfa House, the imaginative dinners are prepared by Cordon Bleu trained Anne who uses fresh local produce in a combination of new and traditional recipes. Most dishes are based on the modern trend towards healthier eating, but never fear, those wonderfully naughty puddings are not totally overlooked!!

Dinner is served Wednesday - Saturday at 7pm. On other evenings a selection of home-made soups, freshly baked bread & cold platters will be available.

As its name implies, the history of Llandrindod Wells is linked with the health giving waters it has to offer. Althought the beneficial effects of taking the waters were known to the Romans, the development of the town didn't take place until the mid 19th century.

Today it is still possible to sample the waters but the baths have unfortunately long since gone. Llandrindod Wells does however have it's own 18 hole golf course, excellent indoor and outdoor bowling facilities, as well as being home to the Radnorshire Museum which houses exhibits relating to the history of the area.

Set as it is, in the very heart of Wales, Guidfa House is an exellent base for touring the wonderful local countryside which includes the Elan Valley, the Radnor and Hafren Forests, the Brecon Beacons and the Welsh Borderlands.

Walkers and bird-watchers alike will find plenty to interest them including the local RSPB Red Kite feeding station. Cycle hire or pony trekking can easily be arranged together with hang-gliding or rally driving courses.

For those who prefer a more relaxed holiday there are many scenic drives and places of interest within reach such as Powis Castle, Hergest Croft Gardens or the unique town of Hay on Wye with its host of antique book shops.
