Fantastic for a girl's weekend!
Myself, 4 girlfriends and 2 dogs very much enjoyed our stay at quirky hedgehog view. The outlook from the property onto the Welsh hills was gorgeous, and the hot tub was lovely. There are curious goats on the surrounding fields that visited us. The baby goats were very sweet! Thank you to Gemma for hosting us at Hedgehog view. She was on hand with a contact number for an emergency vet, when on of our dogs had eaten something he shouldn't have!

Great accommodation and great view.
A wonderful way to experience the scenery. You are really in amongst it. Great to wake up and see the hills and the Kites circling in the sky. On our second day we had goats eating the grass outside our window which was a lovely surprise.
Great accommodation and wonderfully quirky. The owner was very helpful too. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic stay
Hedgehog View was the perfect place for our girls weekend, the views are fantastic, as was the hot tub and we enjoyed a brief visit from the goats! The house is cozy and well equipped and the location was perfect for walks such as Elan Valley and Hafren Forest. Would 100% recommend!

Wonderful even with bad weather!
Beautiful location in the countryside, but close to all the amenities by car. Peaceful and cosy, it was so rainy and windy most of the weekend but we still had a lovely time and would visit again! The beds were comfy and the hot tub was lovely and warm.

What a GEM
What an absolute GEM. Booked for 2 nights as a birthday treat, it exceeded expectations. Everything was as described, the location stunning, everything you wanted was there. Loved the goats that came to visit. Will certainly return. Booking was very easy and kept in contact via e mail with all relevant information.

Nice but could be better.
Water was only warm not hot so beautiful bath tub couldn't be used.
Wifi wasnt working the first day and a half
The qr code to scan for info didnt work and came up with an error.
Hot tub chemicals way to strong and ruined partners bikini.
Location was amazing and property was very clean.

Beautiful place
The accommodation is beautiful and quirky, lovely views from the round windows, the only thing that let it down for us was the bed, it was awful, so uncomfortable it needs a deeper mattress so you aren't bruising all the back of your legs on the wooden frame around it trying to get on and off and the wood underneath makes it feel like you are sleeping on concrete! The place is very very warm so if you are a cold person you will love it, but they do provide fans, nice to sit in the hot tub looking at the stars, and it is nice and private well thought out and not too close to the neighbours

Had a great time but has some room for improvement
We had a fantastic stay and really enjoyed the little goats that came to the door — it was lovely to sit and watch them. We also enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub while watching the red kite birds flying over the fields, which was a real highlight.
That said, we feel there is some room for improvement. It would be helpful to have basic cleaning equipment such as a small mop. We also noticed black mould on the wall and curtains in the main bedroom and in the bedroom with the bunk beds.
Overall, we did really enjoy our stay and are considering booking again in the future.

Review
Hesgehog House is set in a beautiful location with truly splendid views, making it a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The site itself has no amenities, but having your own private hot tub was a real highlight and added to the experience. Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue on arrival: we found cobwebs stretching from the ceiling to the top bunk in the smallest bedroom, and single-use plastic drink wrappers pushed down between the mattress and bed frame in the second double room. The closest town, Rhayader, is nearby and offers plenty of friendly pubs for food and drinks. The local community is welcoming, and there are lots of nature walks in the area, which was great for the dogs.

Beautiful setting, could do with a bit of TLC
We stayed in ‘Hedgehogs View’ for two nights, the location and view were second to none. The privacy of this specific accommodation was perfect as it’s at the top/back of the other ‘hobbit holes’ , so when using the hot tubs and walking around you’re not visible to anybody else.
Our initial perspective was that the accommodation was beautiful , great facilities and well styled . Once we’d settled we noticed a lot of black mould spots in the main bedroom , above the bed area and dotted over the ceiling.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable , with a very thin matress, the base of the bed being ply wood rather than slats/sprung slats which only accentuated the lack of thickness of the matress.
A few little things that don’t work took the edge off the stay also, the bin lid didn’t work, and the mirrors that were supposed to light up in the bedroom/ bathroom didn’t.
They stay gave us what we wanted/needed, being a space to relax with stunning views. But for the money I’m not sure I’d return as our sleep was very poor and the mould is something I feel should be addressed ASAP.
As it is I’m unsure if I’d recommend based on the above comments.

Stunning setting.
I booked the hedgehogs view as a suprise to celebrate my husband's 50th.
I was quite apprehensive about the size as although we were only a party of 4 and a dog, we do all value our own space.
From the moment we pulled on to the drive we were amazed at the little Hobbiton village in mid Wales. There's a good amount of space inside the accommodation; nobody bumped their heads gandalf style.
Everywhere was very clean and well kept. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean and had everything we needed. I have given a 4 for comfort as the beds were quite hard (that's only my opinion). I
The views are amazing. If you get a clear night sit outside, the night sky is just as good as the day.
I was wary when I discovered the goats were free to roam. Our dog was desperate to make friends with them but they weren't so willing but hey kept themselves out the way, just happily grazing. The Highland cows and 3 calves were a happy sight
We went exploring the beautiful Elan Valley and its many picturesque dams. We went to the nearby village of Rhayader had dinner at the Crown which was lovely.
Everything was beautiful and we will definitely return.

48hrs at Hedgehog’s View
Such a beautiful place, we only had two nights here but the accommodation was gorgeous and stylish. The views were amazing and being able to enjoy them from the hot tub or the outdoor seating area with a fire made it even better.
The hairy cows and evening visit from the goats were the added factor!
We needed a break and hedgehog’s view certainly delivered.
