A lovely place
We had a wonderful time in this charming hobbit home. It was beautifully cosy, and the scenery was incredible. Sitting in the hot tub surrounded by snow was fantastic! Everything went smoothly during our visit and there were no problems at all. A really great place to stay and we will definitely be booking again in the future.

A truly memorable stay
We had a wonderful stay at Rabbits View from start to finish. Driving up and seeing the accommodation nestled into the hillside was such a special first impression – it immediately felt peaceful and secluded.
The hot tub was a real highlight, perfectly positioned to take in the views and unwind properly. Everything was exceptionally clean and clearly very well cared for, which made the whole experience even more relaxing.
One of our favourite touches was the bath overlooking the hills – such a luxury to soak while enjoying that incredible scenery. Every detail felt thoughtfully done, and it made for a truly memorable stay. We would absolutely recommend Rabbits View and would love to return.

Lovely relaxing break in a Hobbit hole.
Had a lovely break in rabbits view, the hobbit hole was brilliant, very clean and comfy. Really clear instructions to check in and appreciated the tea, coffee and milk left for us to use, and the waffles! Would definitely recommend as it was a very peaceful relaxing break. Very easy to find using Google maps too and nice and close to drive down to the town. Overall we had a brilliant stay.

A magical hobbit style stay
I booked this for my sisters hen do, and it was magical, she is a massive LOTR fan and pulling up to our hobbit hole was just perfect!, it was so cosy…the bath in bedroom was such a gorgeous touch !
One thing we did think was a small side table by the tv sofa area would have been great as we did a cheese board and watched a film so just somewhere to put this with drinks would have been great. Other than that minor thing it was just spectacular, waking up and seeing the cows and sheep on the hills was just incredible. We will definitely be booking again!

Now our favourite place!
We had THE best Christmas in rabbits view. We were here in the summer and the kids begged us to book it for Christmas( doesn’t always happen with 9yrs/12yrs &15yrs!) The cosiest, comfiest place ever. The hobbit houses have a very special feel to them you get a bit of a fuzzy feeling on arrival!
The Christmas lights on the outside were gorgeous, we spotted them coming up the road.
Rhayder and the Elan valley are stunning, amazing to visit summer or winter.
The boys loved being out there on their bikes.
We CANNOT wait to come back, already looking at dates! Holds a special place in our hearts now!

Amazing short stay
Lovely stay for two evenings.
We stayed with our 6 month old baby.
Amazing facilities including a clean and comfortable cot was provided.
The hot tub was great and everything was very clean.
We loved the goats coming to visit in the morning.
We decided to visit the Elan Valley. Definitely worth a visit.
The town was a 5 minute drive away. Plenty of shops, pubs and nice walks around.
Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Perfect little hideaway
Great find for a little getaway.
The views from the accommodation were spectacular and only around 15min drive to the Elan Valley Visitor Centre where we could enjoy a fantastic walk around the reservoir.
I would recommend this as a good place for a quiet getaway or as a relaxing place to come back to each night after long walks over the hills.

Beautiful stay
We were delighted with our hobbit hut, really lovely and well arranged. The views are stunning, the bath in the bedroom a nice touch on a rainy day - we had a relaxing time enjoying the place and surroundings. Few pubs, restaurants in the local village which was perfect for our evenings. If you want a change a scenery, chill and recharge the batteries, this is the place to be.

Beautiful accommodation
Absolutely amazing place !! The accommodation is brilliant, never stayed anywhere like it before. Also, having the highland cows in the field in front was a real bonus for my daughter, who loves them !! Would highly recommend it.
Only a small downside, only one bathroom and when there is 5 people staying need another toilet !!

beautiful place to stay you wont be disappointed
the views are amazing the hobbit holes are like a film set its beautiful, the hot tub was amazing being able to look out at the welsh country side, i personally didn't like a bath tub in the bedroom it was right in front of the doors which was a little awkward but im sure some people would love the bath tub, it was clean all through, we brought some logs for the fire but there wasn't a grate to cook any food out doors shame but we really really enjoyed ourselves it is expensive but in my opinion worth it i would come back again

Great stay with kids
We stayed a couple of nights with our 7 and 12 year olds. 2 days of rain didn't really matter as the kids had a great time. There's a good amount of space, great views, seems fairly new with everything you need, hot tub, fire pit, parking right outside cabin etc.... A good location, really quiet but just 5 minute drive from a small village which was handy for supplies and close to the Elan Valley.

Perfect weekend away!
We stayed at Rabbits View for our “mini moon” and it couldn’t have been better! The location was easy to find and only a short drive from Rhyader which has a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants.
The accommodation itself is nestled in the hillside and although other properties on the site surround it, it has such a private feel once inside. It’s beautifully finished with a fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. The hot tub is and extra treat after a long day walking around the Elan Valley reservoirs which are a 5 mile drive away.
We had the best weekend- despite some wild weather and will definitely be returning!

Excellent as always
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 ☺️

Wish we were here longer!!!!
I have been following the properties on Instagram for a while! We bit the bullet and booked a long weekend for the 5 of us!! A 7hr trek for us from the south coast but well worth it!!!
The property was beautiful, the decor, the view, the amenities!!! Such a cool place to be, we didn’t want to go out and explore Rhayder its was too nice to leave behind!!!!! We did however go for a fab pub dinner at the crown and my boys and hubby went on a super cool bike ride trail!!!
The highland cows were adorable and the goats apparently in the garden while we had a bbq was hilarious!!!!
We were so sad to leave and cannot wait to come back, best weekend ever!!!!!!
