Stunning views, quirky accommodation

Lovely little place, perfect location - we drove to Aberystwyth to see the seaside and popped down to the Elan Valley on the way back. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

My stay here was amazing. The only this I did notice was above the door way it would drip every so often but other than that it was all perfect

January Stay in the Snow

We had a wonderful stay in January. The property was gorgeous, unique, and incredibly cosy. Enjoying the hot tub while it snowed was magical, and the clear night skies gave us amazing views of the stars. We loved the peaceful walks and beautiful surroundings. It’s very well equipped, especially the kitchen, and perfect for families with kids. Highly recommend!

A little slice of heaven in Rhayader

We stayed at otters view for 3 nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday & it did not disappoint! Absolutely stunning location, the views are to die for & so peaceful. The underground house is gorgeous, so spacious yet cosy, with everything you could need for your stay. Instructions were also clear & easy to get on site & locate the house. Loved every minute, did not want to leave! We will definitely be back soon!

Overall great little getaway

As a party of two the Otters view was a perfect option for a little getaway, easy arrival with no fuss settling in. Very clean, Ample space, very comforting location, and as a big LOTR’s fan the hobbit lodge was a perfect choice. Would definitely visit again.

We loved our stay

We absolutely loved our stay. It gave us the opportunity to switch off and enjoy each other. The property was simply stunning, the children loved the ‘wardrobe style beds’, the round window seat was a massive hit as a den when the weather wasn’t on our side. It was beautiful, thank you so much for having us

Perfect getaway

Just what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Even with the rain, it was such a beautiful place and gave us the perfect opportunity to unwind. The views were perfect, especially the cows. The underground house was even better than expected, very cosy and every detail was very well thought. Will definitely be staying again in the future!

a lovely place

brilliant holiday. nice and cozy inside, hot tub was great, especially once it goes dark if it's a clear night, ive never seen so many stars. lovely view of the surrounding area and some beautiful cows in the field. rhayader town just down the road for any supplies and the roads around there are amazing if you like driving. would definitely recommend and will hopefully be going back.

Group stay

Had a wonderful two night stay! Super clean and great facilities. I would say that perhaps where the curtains don’t meet on the circular doors to have mirrored glass (you see out, no one can see in) for a bit more privacy as the curtains don’t meet the full door. Apart from that could not fault the stay!

2 nights at Otters View

We spent 2 nights at Otters View, 2 adults, 3 teens and our dog. Everyone loved the hobbit hole! The hot tub was a hit with us all - the view was amazing across the Valley. We walked in the Elan Valley and took advantage of the local chippy in Rhayader - so friendly and great food. Would definitely recommend as an unusual and lovely place to stay.

Highly Recommend!

We stayed at Otters View in the first week of the Easter holidays and it was absolutely brilliant! The pictures on the website don't actually do it justice but what an amazing setting for these great hobbit houses to be in and everyone that worked on site were brilliant. We loved sitting out in the sunshine and enjoying the hot tub in the evening, while still being able to see all the ongoings of the farmers in the local fields. There isn't a huge amount to do onsite but loads of places to visit locally and overall we would absolutely recommend this place for anyone considering it!

Stunning views and fun accommodation for a long weekend

Well appointed accommodation. Loved the hot tub and the fire pit. Only 4 seats outdoors and sleeps 6. Great for children. Beautiful views and although several properties on the site it was quiet even though full. Recommend Lion Pony trekking and seeing the Red Kite feeding. Book ahead if wishing to eat out.
