I booked this as a surprise trip for my wife’s 30th birthday and baby moon. She requested as quiet getaway before the baby arrives. The views was spectacular and the owners left a very detailed folder of rules and they introduced themselves in the folder and gave several scenic routes like Tenby. And they also left leaflets on what you can do on the stay. Over all I will be going back. The wife loved her surprise and her experience of wales. Thank you for having us
The most lovely remote place for a stay! Had such a great 2 nights.. will definitely recommend this to all my family! The owners dad was so nice! He popped over at the beginning of our stay and gave us attraction recommendations (which were great). 10/10.
The lodge was beautiful, clean and we had everything we needed. The hosts were brilliant at keeping in touch to ensure we had the best stay. The location was perfect, very peaceful with plenty to do/visit. Would 100% recommend and visit again!
Definitely recommend this property to all,it was clean and had all the facilities you would need for a short break, washing machine, dryer,dish washer and very good wifi. We all throughly enjoyed our stay and are booking again for Christmas. The hosts were excellent and looked after us very well.
Fantastic property, stunning views, very helpful customer service. Can't complain at all the say was perfect.
Amazing location with lovely views. 4 of us stayed and with a little one , we all had an super time . Not too far from a little life ( shops,restaurants etc) . The property was very clean and had a lovely design. We will be returning at some point ! Thanks for having us
This place ticked all the boxes, wonderful comfortable living area/kitchen with everything we needed. Bedrooms really comfy too. The outside area with the hot tub is amazing with the most relaxing of views.
Had the best time staying at this wonderful home! Thanks to the hosts for the welcome pack! And for popping out shopping delivery away (that came early)! Would highly recommend if you want a chilled, relaxed vibe in the Welsh countryside!
Well equipped beautiful home. Only downside is the games room isn’t enclosed and the only access to the hot tub is from a thin spiral staircase that’s not the easiest to climb with a small toddler. All in all we had a beautiful stay and Elly who looks after the house couldn’t have been more accommodating. House is a great location for exploring Bala and North Wales.
Just everything about the Heather pod was amazing,great location with the most beautiful view outside the pod, I couldn’t recommend it enough and I can’t wait to come back already
Fantastic location, and beautiful lodges with excellent facilities. It was lovely watching the waves from our hottub on the decking!
Amazing stay in a clean and comfy hut, well located and peaceful, the best of mid wales! Will 100% be back!
We had the most amazing stay at Tulip. From the relaxing nights enjoying the hot tub, to the local charm of Rhayader, and the beautiful natural landscapes, we didn't want to leave! The birthday hamper with a sign, balloons, and cupcakes (all set up for us before we arrived) was a nice extra treat. We would definitely come back.
Lovely peaceful stay at the salmon facilities Lovely and spacious along with everything you needed inside. The hot tub was a lovely finishing touch.
Having stayed in a shepherd hut last year, we booked 2 pods for a family stay and it was as wonderful as the first. The pods had everything we needed and was comfortable and warm. We would definitely stay again.
The pod faces open country side, which is the wow factor. Pod has everything you need to cook (if you need to), wet room and proper bed, with a hot tub as as a bonus.,
Amazing accommodation, the Poppy was immaculate inside and out. It was very warm with the underfloor heating and the log burner gave a nice boost when the temp dropped off at night. The hot tub area was great and it held its temperature really well too. The fenced garden would have been ideal for the dog so maybe take him next time. Locally there isn’t anything walking distance however there are a couple of great places to eat just 3 miles down the road. I would highly recommend the Lamb and flag and the Swan tea room.Overall very satisfied and already planning another visit.
What a gorgeous place. So quiet! Exceptionally clean with everything thought of. Comfy, cosy and the best place to just relax. We stayed during Storm Darragh, slightly shielded from the gusty winds and driving rain. When the power went off the owners made sure we were OK and brought over candles and a camping stove. Regularly checking on us to see we were OK. It was still a very nice relaxing stay despite the storm. We didn't venture out into the area but were very happy indoors! The hot tub was lovely with views for miles. Very well equipped comfortable clean place to stay. We will be back!
Absolutely stunning place and views, was a very relaxing time loved the hot tub and the baby lambs in the garden Would definitely recommend as a romantic get away The garage was a 10/10 worth every penny
Beautiful accomodation, so clean and comfortable, evrerything you need for your stay. Beautiful an peaceful view was nice waking up amd seeing the animals. Locely ljttle town just 5 minutes down the road. Only downside for me was heating was not working in main bedroom my own fault though im sure if i messaged it would of been sorted but in all fairness oncw under that lovelt quilt it was more than warm enough. Honestly it was lovely there the hot tub was lovely and hot. Overall stay exceeded my expectations
This is a very beautiful place with superb views in the evening time is very beautiful the stars are close to us. we were with our two kids and they felt amazing. all the sheep around and all this greenery tranquility beauty recommend to all.
Beautiful location, little extras in the hut on arrival such as milk, eggs, Welsh cakes and a Christmas tree! Hut was very clean and cosy. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side so didn’t get to use the hot tub but we plan on coming back in the summer! Only downside for us was that there are no taxi services around, we went for a meal in Knighton and would have liked a few drinks after, some nice little pubs in the town. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back next year!
We stayed at the Hayloft with our chidren and grand children for our sons 40th birthday and had a fabulous time. It is a lovely and well equipped house.
Wow! This place is truly beautiful if u want peace and relaxation go here! Everything u need home from home. We have stayed many yrs in Wales and come across this site so glad we booked. We was blown away! My child also loved it here. Hottub was so warm an clean. Star glazing unbelievable. And the fire pit fabulous. We booked the extra options of wood. Cupcakes an breakfast pack. Very nice! Its a 10/10 the owners have smashed it here. Showers was very clean. Not far to walk. Glamping tent warm. We was very comfortable. 100% recommended Can't wait to come back! Thanks guys!
Best Glamping experience ever! We had the bedt time. The kids loved it can’t recommend this place enough. Will definitely be booking in the future.
First time visit to this place and I wasn't disappointed, what a lovely place for a few days rest, everything you need on site, great play area for the kids, indoor swimming pool was great. Cafe are was also good, would have been nice to of maybe a little shop on site so you do some cooking,maybe an idea for future, all the team there was lovely they couldn't do enough, had a few flys in the cabin ut I think that was mainly being near the pond, nothing you can't handle though,was great that ther was a privacy screen around the tub,just perfect, will defo be going back.
Absolutely gorgeous stay for me and my boyfriend and a nice relax as it was for his 21st birthday. Beautiful views of the fields, cows and farmers working on the tractors. Such a cozy place to stay, would definitely recommend.
We arrived at rose Friday afternoon , we were very happy with excellent Shepard hut with hot tub ect . 5star . We spent our weekend walking and taking in the sites and enjoying hospitality off local pubs for some excellent food . Would definitely book another trip .
The pod is gorgeous and has everything you could need in there. It’s quiet and relaxing, and the views are beautiful!
Fabulous place with fantastic facilities for families with young children including pets. Staff were really friendly and very helpful. Property was beautiful and in a good location. Can’t fault anything 10/10
What an amazing stay we had started off rocky when we got stuck 15 minutes from the property on ice and owners came out to help us and the directed us the long way round to the property! It was incredibly stormy but we still had a lovely and relaxing stay!
Had a fantastic 2nd stay, perfect shepherds hut, hot tub and peaceful location. Will definitely be back
I found this amazing place on Tiktok!! It immediately appealed to me as it was dog friendly. I decided to check the price thinking you'd probably pay a hefty premium for being able to take your dog. However I couldn't believe it when weds-fri early July was £167.. you pay a surcharge of £20 for a pet which I thought was more than reasonable. We arrived weds afternoon & the lodge did not disappoint. It was perfect had all amenities we could need. Fully secure large garden & a hot tub. Location was also very good only a 15 minute drive from Elan Valley Dams & reservoir which is 100% worth a visi...more
we stayed at Kestrel cottage 4 adults (friends) and two boys aged 10 and 12 on the 8th December. It was a quiet peaceful place, beautiful scenery and it was an exceptionally clean property to stay in. All the equipment we had the need of was provided. The place was spotless. Very rural but we were happy with that. We had taken dvd’s to use and board games to place. The swimming pool was lovely, sauna was a welcome addition too. We would all return in a heart beat. Great value for money and a perfect place to unwind
Second time staying here and we absolutely love it. Such a peaceful place, being in the hot tub looking out over the mountains is gorgeous. We take our dog, he loves how spacious the place is and we love the enclosed decking so we know he’s safe. Beautiful walks around the area as well. Reasonably priced, clean, fresh eggs are amazing! Couldn’t ask for more!
The setting is fantastic and the hut is well equipped. The only issue we had was the amount of gadgets need to have the instructions. Claire was on hand to help and you can see she has thought about what is required for your stay. Thank you
We had a fantastic stay here for our anniversary. A little slice of tranquility. Our dog loved it so much he refused to get back in the car on the way home.
We have just returned from spending Christmas here as a family of 6. The property is beautiful. The photos don't do it justice. So spacious, clean and homely. Property is well furnished with everything you could possibly need. The owner was very responsive in the run up to our holiday and throughout. We had a slight problem with the heating during our stay and a plumber was sent out within hours to rectify the issue. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property and we will be looking to return in the future.
We recently stayed at the valley view hobbit home for a joint birthday weekend. The home was spotless, accommodating and the perfect place for peace and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return in the future!
Snowdrop was very clean, the kitchen is well equipped! We had no problems making a full chicken dinner for 2 plus the dog !! The views are perfect, the dog loved to bark at the sheep and pretend to chase them up and down the huge enclosed garden!! Can not fault this place at all !! The only downfall was the Hot tub was not hot, compared to some I’ve been in in the past. This one at snowdrop was literally just warm, also some of the lights in the hot tub don’t work. Didn’t stop me getting into it though, will definitely be returning to Snowdrop in the near future Thank you !!
Had the most perfect weekend away with my partner and our little boy (2 years). The accommodation was absolutely beautiful with the Christmassy touches to make it even more magical, the delicious home made cake and our little boys favourite part spending lots of time with the alpacas (he named his favourite Alpaca “Macka Packa”)! Would highly recommend and would definitely return again.
I booked this place for my boyfriend’s birthday. It is a beautiful little cabin, equipped with everything you need and was super cosy. Would definitely love to come back one day
Amazing stay from start to finish!! Beautiful homemade cake upon arrival, and Claire was extremely helpful whenever she was needed! The views from the home was outstanding, and waking up to the alpacas in our window every morning was definitely the highlight for us. The kids LOVED them, my toddler didn’t need entertaining throughout the weekend because he was just obsessed with going out and exploring the grounds and feeding the alpacas! The place is obviously well looked after and is extremely clean. Plenty of games are available to use for plenty of family fun! Will definitely be coming ...more
What an absolutely beautiful place so unique and quirky tremendous views everything you need for a comfortable stay owner Sylvia is amazing very helpful if you need anything, had a lovely welcome gift of a bottle of bubbles and some delicious Welsh cakes would highly recommend people go and have the best time. A big thankyou to Sylvia xx
It was our first stay at the Daisy pod and we absolutely loved it here. The pods are in a beautiful location and there is something for everyone. There are so many beautiful walks near by which our dogs loved, there’s a park a stone through away for children and the hot tub was fantastic. The pods are so well equipped and clean, we throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back in the future.
We had a lovely stay in Bluebell. It was peaceful and the hot tub was lovely to relax in. The only negative I would say about the site is that there is not a space to give your dog a good run unless you drive somewhere. That being said we would definitely return as it was a lovely place.
What a beautiful stay! Definitely recommend.. we are now looking to rebook again already. Beautiful location, perfect glamping pod, no faults.. amazing! Thank you
We enjoyed a relaxing stay at Meadow view.. location was good for us as not too far from the start of bike ‘route 81’. Good sized pod for 2 although a new mattress is needed along with a working smoke alarm, it would benefit from a bigger indoor doormat when the weather is wet, just a thought. Everything we needed was there, loved the hot tub with its views and red kites plenty of parking, we definitely will be back, would recommend for sure.
The pod was very clean and you can tell every detail was thought about even down to having salt and pepper and all pots and pans which we have not often had in other stays like this! The bed was one of the comfiest we’ve stayed in as well. The outside area was fantastic and the main reason we booked this stay, and it didn’t disappoint. With beautiful views from the hot tub and a nice campfire to sit around in the evenings we would definitely return and recommend to family and friends.
I absolutely love coming here with my girls The pods and huts are all beautiful and home from home! Warm cosy and so peaceful, everything you need is here…great communication too, I’ve been coming here for a few years now and it’s my go to place where I need to chill, beds are comfy too! Great walks for your dogs and only a 5 min drive away a lovely little town with so much character … Never disappoints me… get booking now! ❤️
The shepherd's hut was beautiful with everything you could need including a complimentary bottle of wine that went down fantastic in the hot tub! It was easy to find using what3words and felt very secluded despite being on a worming farm. Excellent location close to some fantastic walks and towns! Would definitely recommend.
Had a great stay peaceful private and comfortable everything we needed plenty to do in aera host very friendly great sat in hottub watch lambs playing
The site is beautiful, we loved seeing the goats trotting past of a morning and driving past the sheep. Having the fresh eggs is a great touch too, we went through 6 whilst we were there & then took 6 home they were that good! It’s very clear they take a lot of pride and care in the animals and the site! Our lodge was spotless too, it was so cosy and kitted out with everything we needed, the welcome basket was perfect after travelling for a few hours - literally a home from home. The hot tub was amazing, it felt so private and we could properly relax. We can’t wait to come back. From us boo...more
Absolutely loved staying in this cabin, perfect set up for a weekend away, easy to find and access. Hot tub was a massive win and little girl thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be back.
We stayed in the Highland View shepards hut and we loved it! The hut is perfect and kitted out really well. The views are beautiful and we loved watching out over them when sitting in the hot tub, and it’s only a short drive down into the town. Elan Valley isn’t too far of a drive away to be able to go walking and seeing all the amazing Dams too. It’s been a beautiful break away for us and we will definitely be looking to come back again!
Had an amazing time beautiful views good local information provided, very clean would definitely come back again and recommend to people
Thoroughly enjoyed our cosy , tranquil and relaxing stay here. Fab accommodation, comfortable bedding and great facilities. Highly recommend d. Amazing for families too
We stay here for 2nights for a birthday celebration! It was a lovely find! Very dog friendly, perfect location for dog walks! The cabin was lovely, hot tub was a lovely touch! Nice to chill out in after long day walking! Definitely will return in the future! John n kerrie very helpful! Sam, Rob n trixie! Xx
We had the best time here, the location is perfect, the pod itself is beautiful and very convenient. I’ll happily come back again.
Had a great time here. Second time here and still amazing! Town not to far away just a short drive and so much to see. Ellen valley was amazing
Had a lovely time at Panteg. The location was superb and secluded, situated next to a lovely river. The accommodation was well kept and tidy and was a wonder to stay in. Hot tub was lovely and comfortable. There are some lovely horses in the fields next to the home and they are friendly. Would recommend!
This was our 2nd stay in this beautiful barn. Coming from city living this is definitely the place to unwind!!!
The accommodation was outstanding with simply the best view. Loved my stay and will be looking to stay again but this time for longer!! Would 10/10 recommend to everyone.
Lovely stay at the kingfisher- host couldn’t do more - very helpful, decorated the hut including a cake for my girlfriend and offered to be a taxi for us if needed. Was lovely to get away with no signal and chill in lovely surroundings- even the thunderstorms didn’t ruin our weekend. Would go back again. Feedback from girlfriend- send the dogs down to say hello more often :)
We had a weekend perfect stay. The cottage has so much character and style . Perfectly equipped and stunning views
Absolutely beautiful pods, stunning scenery. Beautiful can’t wait to stay again. Spotlessly clean and excellent for the dogs.
Very impressed with the lodge as soon as we arrived. Cosy and feels homely inside. Top of the range appliances which made it very enjoyable. One thing that would have been nice would be a microwave as with these sorts of stays, we prepared our meals with this expectation. One more thing would be a mat on the floor inside the lodge as it rained while we were there and we ended up having to sacrifice one of our towels from home to avoid wet footprints inside. Overall, would definitely stay again and really enjoyed this. Will be recommending to friends and family.
Such a stunning place, with amazing views every morning. Hot tob was lovely and really clean. Lots of beautiful walks and sights to see. Highly recommened for a little getaway, as a couple or as a family. Will definetly be returning.
We had a lovely stay at Hillside Lodge, brilliant location and beautiful property with excellent views across the countryside.
Great few days away, clean and a great location. It stated on the email that we would be supplied with washing up liquid but we were not and the round sky light in the roof could do with a blind to stop the sun beaming down on you in the morning waking you up but apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed our few days away
The stay was amazing. The views were stunning! The area around our hut was dog proof so we could relax without worry about our dog escaping. Everything was perfect and we would 100% stay there again.
Location was perfect, quiet and remote just what we wanted could not fault the location. Just a few little niggles which we found frustrating and just took the edge off our stay. Pod sleeps 6 but there were only 5 plates, broken glasses in the cupboard, rubbish left down side of bed (was the pod cleaned properly) no oven trays so could not use the oven, there were two microwaves which meant literally no work top space. Fly trap paper hanging from the ceiling directly above the hob!
Beautiful place, owners very helpful, very kind, some great walks, disappointed the local pub is closed ! 2 mile walk to pub but around great place to stay…
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
We have been here before but another Hut and know what’s there and loved it kids loved it the only thing this time was the cleanliness as there was dead fly’s on the roof where you sleep which easily could be wiped clean and a smell from the bathroom was not very pleasant but didn’t put us off enjoying our stay in a gorgeous area, Hot tub was brilliant and at a great temperature even on arrival
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hare's View Lodge! The breathtaking views are truly captivating and hard to beat, setting the scene for a relaxing or activity-packed getaway—whatever you make of it. The accommodation itself is spacious, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and clearly well looked after. If I had to mention a minor detail, it’s that the seating area could be a bit more comfortable for a family of four. The corner seating is up against the lodge’s curved walls, so it’s a bit tricky to sit upright. A couple of bean bags or extra seating options would make it perfect, but th...more
Highchair was dirty had mold on, beds wear very uncomfortable lots of the furniture was damaged and dirty, up stairs mattresses are tiny and leaves a big gap felt like we were in separate sleeping bags Kids loved the play area hot tube was lovely and hot
The place is amazing, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Place itself is fabulous and perfect for some fun with the family. The items left inside on arrival is a generous touch from the owners also. Will definitely be coming back.
What a fantastic farmhouse this is for a large group. Totally fulfilled every expectation we had for my 70th birthday with family and friends. Even tho it was a cold month the house was always lovely and warm. The hot tub was a great bonus and we had lots of fun in it, always hot and well maintained. Recommend this lovely venue for a large gathering
I have wanted to come and stay here since I started following Holiday Wales on Instagram during lock down. We stayed for the weekend and had a fabulous time. The property did not disappoint, it is very cute but functional and while there are other properties we were in an end one and it felt very private. it offered everything we needed for the weekend. The information provided before hand gave us ideas for walks and places to eat all of which were lovely. We had an amazing time and would love to come back.
This was the second time we had stayed at marches way and will not be the last . Nice and clean and has everything we need and the views are amazing! Secure garden makes it nice and easy to relax knowing the dogs arent going anywhere.
We arrived for a 2 day stay 4 adults and 3 children. It was not confined at all, we felt there was just enough room for this many people. We were left with a welcome box which was lovely. The tent is well stocked with everything you would need! The children. LOVED the stargazing hammock and hot tub but also the animals grazing around and the little stream behind us. A 10 min drive into Rhayader and a lovely pub lunch. We also used the pump track which was another great hit for the children. The toilets were warm and clean, although not enough toilet roll provided. A great family stay, would de...more
Been to cae lodges about 6-7 times now had no issues everythings clean and tidy, but going back to the fox den was quite disappointing loads of fly splats everywhere the blinds where quite worn and damp spots the kicthen cabinet seems to have melted by the heater and the microwave had no idea how to use all the writing has been worn down window in the bathroom you have to slam shut and the french doors have day light coming through so in the winter gets very cold.
2 nights in this glorious Hobbit hole - snuggly warm, well laid out and super clean. Views across the valley make waking up early a treat and watching the stars from the hot tub at night just awesome. I will definitely be back.
Great place, works well for us and our young people - except the MICE!! We had unexpected company which caused some restless nights. Planning required for day trips as need to travel but lots of countryside to view.
This is our second visit to the hobbit houses and we absolutely loved it as much as the first time , we came back with friends this time and stayed in the bigger rabbits view which was stunning , it was so safe and clean for the kids ( 3,2,10 months ) they loved being able to see the animals from the window , we had some lovely little goats come and visit us each morning . Highly recommend holiday wales hobbit houses for a unique break away with friends or family , we will be making it a yearly tradition ☺️
Fantastic stay, lovely location in the hills with pure relaxation. Arrived to a lovely clean and modern lodge with everything needed for a few days stay. Hot tub is a lovely touch but could do with being under cover so we could continue to enjoy it during the heavy rain ☔️.. Overall we will definitely return to these lodges in the future
Our stay at Otters View in Wales was nothing short of magical! The cabin was incredibly cozy, offering a perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm. Waking up to the serene sounds of nature and the stunning views of the surrounding countryside was an experience we’ll never forget. One of the highlights was the hot tub—it was pure bliss to relax in the warm water under the stars, completely immersed in the tranquil atmosphere. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into every detail, ensuring the cabin was well-equipped and immaculately clean. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape in nat...more
Myself and my husband stayed for 4 nights with our dog to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. The property is impressive with lots of space and land, our dog really enjoyed the little woodlands behind the cabin. While the location is lovely and picturesque, surrounded by greenery and farm animals, it is a bit of a drive from the nearest town (around 20-25 minutes). We didn't mind this though as the drive was lovely and scenic with no traffic (apart from sheep in the road!). We had an issue with the hot tub on the first night as it hadn't been cleaned. Within an hour of texting the...more
We had a lovely 4 day break. The Lodge was lovely and clean. The twin room was a little small for an adult but otherwise ok. The site was clean and plenty for the kids to do. Only issue we had was the cafe, food wasnt great. They had run out of alot of ingredients but didn't tell us. We had completely different xishes to what we ordered. Staff were polite, but didn't seem to know what they were doing. Could have just been an off day.
