Whether you're preparing a home-cooked meal or indulging in a takeaway, the dining area comfortably seats six—perfect for gathering around to eat, laugh, and raise a glass together.
Each bedroom has its own unique charm. The spacious master features a king-size bed and a freestanding bathtub with views of rolling green hills—ideal for soaking with a glass of bubbly in hand.

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! Laura, West Sussex

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!

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.

What a beautiful stay. The views are absolutely amazing. 3 bedrooms and ample space. We used the outside as we were blessed with great weather. Fire pit in the evenings, just perfection

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.

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

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.

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!!!!!! Laura Duke

Unique & peaceful holiday

We had great time here. It’s difficult to capture all the beauty of this place. You have to be there & see it for yourself. So peaceful & lovely. My parents were so happy. I wish I had booked longer holiday there.

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 !!

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.

Teenagers and a Dog

We booked the Rabbits View as my son is a huge Lord of the Rings fan and they didn't disapoint, what has been built is absolutely amazing and the hot tub was top notch, would love to come back for a visit.

A Charming Getaway with Incredible Views

We had a truly lovely 4-night stay at Rabbits View. The setting is wonderful, with incredible views, and the quirky accommodation made it great fun. Our two young daughters thoroughly enjoyed it. The only suggestion I would make is to update the kitchen equipment. Some items were limited and in need of replacement, for example, the frying pan was badly scratched and starting to show signs of rust. The property is advertised as luxury, but the kitchenware felt quite basic and a little tired. This wasn’t a major issue for us, but it could be for others. That said, the place itself is beautiful, full of character, and in a stunning part of the world. I would highly recommend it, and we look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

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 ☺️

Unbeaten View!

We stayed at Rabbits View for 3 nights in October. The view is incredible and the outdoor space to enjoy the view is perfect! This is really what you’re paying for when staying here. The property itself, although quirky and cool, is not the most comfortable and without the view and outdoor space, I wouldn’t say worth the price tag unfortunately. If the weather was not great and you had to retreat inside, it wouldn’t make for a cozy and comfortable stay. It would also be great to have some information available at the accommodation for guests, there was a QR code which may have had this but it kept saying ‘unavailable’. Lovely touch with the fire wood readily available to use, the goats joining us each morning, and the highland cows in the bottom field! The hot tub was also fab and a lovely temperature, set to look at the amazing view over the countryside. I have already passed on the link of the accommodation to 5 people who have asked after seeing our pictures! We would stay again, but only for the peace and quiet and view, so would likely look at a cheaper property on the site.

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!

Lovely weekend away!

We went away as a group of Lord of The Rings fans and the accommodation was perfect! There was more than enough space for 6 adults and for all to be comfortable. The accommodation itself was in pristine condition, plenty of facilities to cook and good fridge/freezer space for a full house for two nights! The location was stunning! Very short drive or taxi ride into town where we had a lovely breakfast. We will absolutely be returning. Glowing reviews from all who joined me! Thank you so much :)

Perfect way to spend a birthday

We celebrated my sister’s 40th birthday by visiting wales and staying at Rabbits view. Accommodation was beautiful, a perfect location and unique. The underground house was very comfortable, had everything you needed and the views were stunning. Although we had an amazing time some of the furnishing need replacing, the washing up bowl and kitchen bin were both split & missing some plastic. The towels that were supplied were stained which appeared to be bleach stains. Some of the kitchen utensils were very used and the frying pan - everything stuck to it. But this would not stop me from recommending Rabbits very or rebooking, just would be nice for a few replacement's.
