Burrow View was in a great location, close to the town of Rhayader which has all you need, pubs, cafe, and convenience stores.
We took our bikes which I would recommend as you get to see lots more of the area. Especially if you are visiting Elan Valley and the various dams.
Overall great weekend and I’d definitely return.

Elan Valley short break
Stayed in a lovely self contained holiday home in Wales. Burrow View was a unique compact holiday let with wonderful views of surrounding countryside. Every morning goats would be grazing outside the property with sheep & cows in nearby fields. Perfect location to visit Elan Valley & town nearby. Hot tub barbecue & fire pit included.

Burrow stay
Had a lovely stay in Burrow View. Beautiful scenery, lot's to do locally, kids had a great time in the hot tub, would recommend.
My only feedback would be to have something that tells you about the accommodation and site in the property. Eg how to heat the property and where the bin store is.

Our little stay in the Hobbit House
The Burrow View was excellent. Was a really cool little place to stay. The location and views were breathtaking. The beds were super comfortable! The shower was also a highlight! In the summer I can imagine this place would be at its best. The children loved it too and were really disappointed to leave. With the Elan Valley a short drive away there is plenty to do. If I was to be a little harsh would say storage for our stuff was a little tight, however they’ve done well to maximise the comforts in the accommodation, so really not a big deal. As a suggestion maybe a little more lighting on site to help navigate if arriving at night and some signage to direct to the different locations but these were really small issues that didn’t cause any problems. Would definitely visit again!

The Burrow View
Our recent stay at Burrow View in February was nothing short of exquisite. I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and am already eager to rebook, this time bringing my family along. The property boasts tasteful decoration throughout, creating a truly inviting atmosphere. Guests will find a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for all culinary needs, and exceptionally comfortable beds ensuring a restful night's sleep.
The outdoor space is a particular highlight, featuring an expansive dining area, a BBQ, a cosy fire pit, and a generously sized hot tub – perfect for relaxation. Beyond the accommodation, there's an abundance of activities to enjoy. We particularly loved exploring the Elan Valley with our dogs and discovering charming country pubs in the local town.

Hot tub heaven
A perfect stay in the gorgeous Welsh countryside.. the hut was really well appointed. Hot tubing with stunning views was the perfect end to days of sightseeing & walking.. was nervous the hut would be cold as we stayed mid December but the heating system was fabulous.. my only negative comment is no rail to hang clothes and no shelving to store bathroom products, however these are very minor issues..

The perfect countryside break!
We had such a lovely stay at Burrow View. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a real sense of privacy. Even though there are a handful of other burrows and shepherds huts on site, the way they’re positioned means you never feel overlooked and you always have a view!
The hosts were incredibly considerate, and the burrow was lovely and clean. They’d provided thoughtful essentials like tea, coffee and washing‑up liquid (and even some caramel waffles!), which makes such a difference when you’ve just arrived and don’t want to jump straight back in the car for forgotten bits.
We brought our dog and he had the best time. Burrow View itself isn’t enclosed, but we used a long line around the iron fire pit and it worked perfectly. If you prefer your dog to roam freely, some of the shepherd’s huts are fully enclosed and might be a better fit.
One of the highlights was how close you are to nature. We were even woken one morning by the pygmy goats trotting across the skylight! Rhayader is just a short drive away with plenty of great places to eat, and the Elan Valley is right on the doorstep with breathtaking scenery and gorgeous walks.
We couldn’t recommend it more, and we will definitely be returning!

Very poor cleaning
Place is very beautiful with excellent view I would definitely recommend even if I will get chance I would like to go there again but they really need to work out something about cleaning because it wasn’t clean properly pets hair was everywhere and we found a massive black spider under our pillow we been there with my two year old daughter and she had vomiting whole night because of the pet hairs and we couldn’t sleep whole night.
I can share even pictures if they want no option here for uploading.

A wonderfully relaxing stay
Our family of 4 had a fantastic time staying here. Lots to do, friendly staff and neighbours and the views are amazing. Only slight downside was the light coming through the skylight early in the morning. I would bring a sleep mask next time.

What a smashing few days away
We had a great stay in the hobbit houses. The weather was great and the hot tub was excellent. The goats that roamed the site were such fun to watch especially when having a BBQ.
We are already planing a return trip with friends
See you soon Les

Lovely Location With Room for Improvement.
We recently stayed here and overall found it to be a lovely place in a beautiful location. The setting is very peaceful and relaxing, and the pod itself has a lot of potential for a family getaway.
Unfortunately, during our stay there were works being carried out on site which affected the peaceful atmosphere during the daytime. There were cars and vans passing by all the time, and some dust from the works reached our pod. It would have been appreciated if we were informed about this in advance so expectations could be managed beforehand.
There were also a few areas where some small improvements could make a big difference to guests comfort. The pod lacked storage space, with very limited room for clothes, bags, or suitcases, which made it feel slightly cramped for a family of four.
The bunk beds also felt a little difficult and awkward to climb, particularly for my 6 year old, and there was noticeable dust and cobwebs inside the climbing areas.
The children’s sleeping area was quite cold overnight with no obvious way to warm it up.
The bathroom door did not lock properly.
While the open roof feature above the bed may appeal to some guests, the early morning light woke our children very early each day. It may be helpful if there was an option to cover it during the night.
A divider or door between the main living space and children’s sleeping area would also make the layout more practical for families.
The hot tub unfortunately was not as warm as expected, so it was difficult to fully relax and enjoy it.
We also noticed a slight smell coming from the sofa, possibly from previous guests with dogs.
Communication before arrival could also have been a little more helpful. Although my request to have the pod decorated for my 3 year old daughter was quite last minute, it would have been nice to have been offered an alternative suggestion. The same applied when asking about delivery options to the pods, as a little more guidance would have been appreciated.
Overall, we did enjoy the stay and the location itself is lovely. However, the ongoing work on site had a much bigger impact on our experience than we expected and it significantly affected both our privacy and our ability to properly relax during the stay.
