Whether you have cooked up a storm or ordered in a takeaway there is space for six people around the dining table with the most comfy of dining chairs so that all guests can dine & raise a glass together.

With two plush king size rooms, the spacious master bedroom accommodates a unique (& Instagram worthy) free standing bathtub run over looking the view of the green fields and hills rolling into the the distance. On the warmer days open up the French doors to allow that fresh air to fill the room while you relax with that favourite glass of bubbly in hand. The second king room has French doors leading out onto the paved area outside & the additional bedroom is a bunk room hosting two single beds. The family bathroom comes complete with free standing sink basin with illuminated mirror, large shower & flushing WC.

If all this sounds fabulous, wait until you hear about the outside..

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.

Charming Hokiday

Six of us stayed at Hedgehog View. We had a brilliant time. It is an absolutely charming holiday venue. It is cosy especially when the weather turned windy and rainy. We also had some little goat visitors. My only complaint would be the window coverage. The curtains don’t cover the windows fully and we would’ve preferred complete privacy. Other than that I would highly recommend

Friday 1st August/Monday 4th.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay at hedgehogs view. Great location, Great surroundings. Only slight disappointment was we didn't realise there was a Motocross event on over the next field. Didn't bother us to much. The wild goats were great my daughter loved them. Would definitely stay here again. Weather depending.

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.

2 day girl break

Hedgehogs view is perfect for a girl or romantic getaway. The location is stunning. Not much to do in the area, however sitting in the hottub and admiring the view is enough. The facilities are excellent, everything is easily accessible, and the accomodation itself is very private. Would highly recommend and deffo will be returning.

Beautiful views in a unique place

Hedgehog’s View is in a beautiful setting with far reaching views. We have had a very relaxing stay in the comfort of this underground apartment.

A relaxing break.

We stayed at Hedgehog View, which is in a lovely, peaceful spot. However, the steep hill leading to the accommodation, combined with large potholes, makes access quite challenging—especially for your car! The accommodation itself was spotless on arrival and beautifully presented. The master bedroom is very spacious and features a lovely freestanding bath, though unfortunately, the bed was quite uncomfortable. The second bedroom is a decent size, but the beds are very small. The bunk bed room, on the other hand, is tiny and feels very claustrophobic if the door is closed. For a family of six, an extra toilet would have been a big help. The location is somewhat lacking in nearby amenities—there’s not much to do in the immediate area. The local Indian restaurant has closed down, and both pubs we tried were disappointing for food. This place feels more suited to an adult retreat rather than a family getaway. Despite these points, we did enjoy our stay overall and would consider booking again if the price was right.

Amazing and unique getaway

We absolutely adored our stay at Hedgehogs view! The pictures looked amazing when we booked but it was even better in real life! It is set up with everything you could need. We were travelling with a toddler and they even provided a travel cot & highchair for us so we didn't have to bring those with us! The information they provide once you have booked is brilliant, everything from what to do in the local area from where to eat or even order food from! The communication with the team was so quick and easy. Our accommodation had a hot tub which was a lovely touch to enjoy once we had put our daughter to bed! The place was immaculate and we honestly couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back to stay again in the future.

Good Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Hedgehogs view. The Location is fantastic and what a lovely view over the valley. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and making use of the outside seating with this fantastic sunny weather we had. The whole place was really clean and well designed. What a great idea and we would love to stay again!! There were a couple of things which should be addressed. Most importantly are the beds/mattresses. We found that the beds have really high sides which meant when you sat on the edge they were digging into your thighs. Also when laying on the bed when you went to sleep our arms would rest on the high sides and be uncomfortable. The mattresses on the double beds have big dips in them. Which meant we were sliding into the dips all night and we couldn’t sleep properly. We turned the mattress around 180 degrees to see if that would work due to not being turned however it was just as bad unfortunately. Both of these issues would be fixed with new deeper mattresses. The minor issues were that some of the jets in the hot tub would fall out and float in the tub. We tried screwing them back in but when using the next time they would pop back out. We found the toaster not working properly, when putting the bread in, the silver arms to hold the toast wouldn’t move. The curtains in the bedroom are lovely but adding little hooks to the side so they can spread all the way across the window not just the door would be great. Just so in the morning you don’t wake up early with the sunrise. These are just some small issues which can be easily fixed and we appreciate without you knowing these, they can’t be fixed :) This isn’t a negative review so please don’t read it that way!! We had such an amazing time here, thank you :)

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.

Gorgeous scenery

Gorgeous place to stay, was a last minute booking on way home but so glad we picked it. Views are stunning and accomodation was too. Definitely would like to come back.Although have to say it is a little pricey, especially for a longer stay.

Lovely stay

We really loved our stay and highly recommend it. Views are stunning. The house is stunning. A couple of things to note, the fridge is very small if you’re planning on self catering and there is very little space to put your clothes etc. some additional hooks throughout would be super helpful. We were really gutted that the goats weren’t out during our stay. They were there when we arrived and we didn’t see them again for the remainder and they were one of the biggest draws of booking. Apart from that it really is an amazing place and also highly recommend going on a pony treck with Alice at Lion Royal trekking.

Novel but lacking

The property has novelty value and is in a beautiful location. Inside, the quality of the structure is impressive, and it was very clean. However, we felt that it was poorly equipped. All bedding was of high quality, but a couple of the mattresses were thin and worn. The smaller bedroom has no hooks for clothing. The bathroom has no toilet roll holder and the toilet paper was extremely cheap quality. In the kitchen, a towel rail is needed. A couple of wooden spoons are needed, oven glove, paper towel, etc. I appreciate that the architecture of the property makes it difficult to fit a fridge, but the one used is ridiculously small for a self-catering property.

A little piece of heaven

Our two nights at Hedgehog View will stay in our hearts for the rest of our lives, First of all the idyllic setting is just simply breathtaking. Hedgehog view itself is beautifully fitted out and is just gorgeous, All be it very very warm inside with no way of turning the seating down of off, Given the beauty that greets you out of both bedrooms patio doors under normal circumstances it would have been an easy fix to just leave the doors open to let the air circulate, but unfortunately due to multiple wasp nests situated in the surrounds to all three entrances and with my friend being allergic to wasps it meant that wasn’t possible, So made for a really warm night. We did make the hosts aware of this and they said a pest controller would be out during the day, So as we couldn’t stay there and chill because of the wasps we spent out, And on arriving back the issue seemed to have been sorted. The only other issue was that the hot tub was only partially working (only the jets on one half were working) That issue also got reported and someone did come out to look very promptly, but they said an engineer would need to be called, But unfortunately that wasn’t resolved during our short occupancy. They did say we could have access to a hot tub on a different plot that was empty at the time, But that was awkward and inconvenient. Other than those two issues that did arise the only negatives I could say are that the main door arch cladding and the master bedroom outside door arch cladding are both starting to crumble and this really does effect the aesthetic of the outside of the property, And at this price point you’d expect details like this to be high on the agenda as it really does effect the overall first impression (second impression actually as the initial impression was WOW this place is gorgeous) The only other thing is more of a suggestion, The views are absolutely stunning but the curtains do not provide full privacy due to the arch’s and the curtains not being able to be fully drawn across, Maybe it would be possible to attach Velcro to the sides of the curtains and the arches so that they can be manipulated into place to give 100% privacy when needed. I know this may seem like a negative review but I guess we were just really unlucky that during our short stay the wasp and hot tub issues occurred resulting in us not getting the full wonder that we could have. Because let’s face it, those views are to die for, being greeted by goats as sit on the patio eating breakfast was a joy, Watching the birds of prey over the close neighbouring fields was spectacular, Watching the cows come up the hill every morning, All the little birdies that come say hi……. It really is a truely wonderful place, For me it would have been a 10/10 all day long were it not for said issues, The hosts really were on the ball and did do all they could to resolve the issues, it’s just due to our stay only being short it meant said issues pretty much effected the whole stay. But that said I’d still give it a 8 because it is just simply WOW and could so easily have been a 10+++ :)
