I was so impressed with the the whole site, and most especially with our personal Hut, which was beautifully set up and presented. Just a two night stay was so restful and restorative.

Just a perfect little spot and gorgeous property! Was very clean.
We loved every part of the stay and even better we could take the dog with us!

The only thing we would say and its out of the owners hands is that it’s a shame the only way to walk into the centre is on the main road because of how fast the cars drive up.

Love The Views.
This is our 2nd visit to The Views and 3rd booked via Holiday Wales.
Ideally located in dark sky area and convenient for night visits to Ean Valley for astrophotography for Mr H whilst I enjoy the hot tub during the day/evenings. Excellent base to explore more of the Brecon region and more including Hafod Estate and Hafren forest and of course the red kites.
Accommodation is so cute and warm, especially with the log burner. Bed is really comfortable and snuggly to watch tv.

Look forward to our return visit in May.

Good stay, comfy beds and a cute pod.
The pod was a lot smaller than it looked on camera and a lot closer to the other pods.
I would’ve liked just a bit more privacy in the hot tub as can see others around.
Also would’ve liked either an earlier check in as 4pm is quite late and dark by the time you get there

First weekend away without our children or other friends in a very long time and I coudlnt have picked a better place.
The views are just breathtaking, the hut was spotless and had everything we needed. Perfect if you have a dog as the shepherds huts have a completely enclosed garfen. My only issue is that as much as it was perfect for our break alone, my children would have loved it so I plan on returning with them .... and we rarely return to the same place. We stayed in ivys way which had completely uninterrupted views.

We loved staying here, from using the hot tub to the log burner. We loved having the log burner in the hut especially this time of the year. This is the second time we’ve stayed on this site. We love that we can bring our dog too. Would recommend this to everyone, it’s so nice and peaceful.

An absolutely amazing location. We've stayed in Ivy's Way before and absolutely love it. Everything you need for a comfortable stay and if you get the weather an amazing outdoor area. Unfortunately, we stayed during Storm Debbie and the front doors took a real hammering from the weather. We were lovely and toasty inside with the log burner but water was getting through. So being one of the older huts on site Ivy's Way could do with a new set of doors and it was disappointing that the fairy lights weren't workig even though we went to the shop to get new batteries. That said we would absolutely stay again, as hut is in one of the best positions for views over the valley. Absolutely stunning.

We came on this holiday expecting a few nice days in Wales but when we arrive our expectation were already exceeded. Ivy’s Way was beautiful, it was so cosy and homely and the views were incredible. We loved that we had a view of highland cows grazing in the field with the stunning welsh countryside in the background. We spent most of our time star gazing and even managed to see multiple breathtaking shooting stars. The surrounding areas were exactly what we wanted, with lots of picturesque walks and amazing waterfalls. We would highly recommend visiting Devils Bridge, it was like nothing I have ever experienced! We have already booked to come back next year! Thank you for making our holiday perfect!

Loved this little cosy lodge. Not much storage space but room to store things under the bed. Dog friendly. Felt safe leaving our dog to roam around the garden. Hot tub was an added bonus.

I stayed here with my husband and our 2yr old miniature dachshund. Ivy's Way was absolutely lovely, had everything we needed and the view from the hut was beautiful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

1st time using Holidaywales, we arrived and the sun was shining, showing off the beautiful view from Ivys way.

Ivy’s way is small but big enough for two. Very clean and has everything you need for your stay, cooking equipment, tea, coffee, milk and treats

We were missing coat hangers and wanted to order the log pack and the kind owner brought all the items to us.

The hut is a few minutes drive from the local town, which has shops, pubs and places to eat (the lost ARC was a favourite for breakfast)

Elan valley was a nice place to visit, and it was great to drive through the valleys and explore. There are plenty of places to stop and walk to enjoy the countryside.

The weather wasn’t great during our stay but once we got the log burner going the hut was lovely and cosy.

We really enjoyed our getaway, and defiantly hope to return soon
