Nowhere better to relax
A fabulous stay in a spotlessly clean and comfortable shepherd's hut. Cosy and warm with everything we could need. The enclosed garden was a huge bonus for our dog. The hot tub is a great feature and we were lucky to see red kites overhead whilst enjoying the valley views from the tub. Would have no hesitation in recommending for a relaxing break.

Lovely little Shepherds hut in mid waled
We had a great weekend in hillside view; its in a great location to go and explore Elan valley and the dams, and only a short drive to the village of Rhayader to get essentials or a takeaway. We loved the hot tub and the enclosed garden for our dog. Beds were comfy and all utensils provided. Fantastic stay, thank you.

Great little secluded stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in Hillside View.
It’s on a lovely site with great views over the countryside.
Close driving proximity to a little town with pubs, a shop and takeaways (if needed).
Very clean accommodation with a few little welcome treats, which was a nice touch.
Hot tub a really nice addition and the enclosed garden was great for the dog.

40th birthday trip away
The location was amazing, near to a local town and lots of attractions. The accommodation was lovely and well maintained.
My only issue was we couldn’t use the hot tub the first night as had to be emptied and wasn’t up to temperature when we went to use it later.
Apart from that would definitely come back in hotter weather.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay
A wonderful relaxing weekend at Hillside. Weather was kind so we lit a fire and watched the sun go down after a dip in the hot tub. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. Everything you need in the cabin. Spotlessly clean. Very quiet and peaceful. We have stayed on this site for a few years now in a number of their properties and can't fault it.

Return visit shortly after first visit
I feel so relaxed and happy at Hillside View. A fantastic location to gaze at the stars at night in the hot tub. Although there are other huts on site, the placement of each offers some welcome privacy. Just a very short drive to the awesome Elan Valley. Just perfect. This was my second visit in less than a month and I’ll most definitely be returning. Already recommending to friends.

I can stay we have a pleasant stay regardless of the Storm Amy. This situation came up for some suggestions... there must be lights on the signage of the entrance because the postcode will not direct you accurately in the location. There is only 1 bedroom! The other bedroom was in living room converted bunkbeds/sitting area. If its children its ok but if 4 adults not recommended, not much privacy and peace as your friends walking pass you going to get food_water or going toilet. It would be helpful to have a microwave to easy heat food. At least a coat hook to hangs coats after a wet walk around the area.
Place is clean and warmth and enjoyed so much the hot tub. Beautiful town of Rhayader and amazing view.
Perfect for summer time! Recommended the place for family with 2 kids or couple but not 4 adults

Stunning place
Location is excellent, hut was immaculate, area beautiful, good value for money. Customer service really good. The place really has the wow factor. Spotless and well equipped. The views are just to die for, especially when you are sitting in your own private hot tub. So peaceful as well. Could not hear a thing when in the shepherds hut they are so well insulated. Really cosy and warm. Our dog loved walking around her own enclosed garden. Honestly could not fault anything about it. Will 100% be returning in the near future. Would highly recommend a stay at holidays wales Rhayader.

A wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay here at the end of May. The hut was beautiful, and so cosy, and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc. The location was great, being just 5 mins from Rhayader for when we needed supplies, and just a short drive to multiple lovely walks. The enclosed garden was a godsend for us - it allowed our dog to have free run outside without the worry of him escaping. The hot tub was blessing after out long walks in the hills.
The only downsides were a lack of a mirror in the bedroom - there was only one small mirror in the bathroom, and the TV wasn't the easiest to use - the remote did not work very well. Apart from that, all was great and we would definitely recommend.
