Wonderful position , kids loved the goats and cows and al pacas near by , lovely idea of hobbit house , if I’m being nit picky
Fridge could have been a bit bigger , and some pegs etc to put our clothes on as not much room for cases around side of bed but that’s just our opinion , wouldn’t put us off staying again , loved it

Stunning location and quirky accommodation.
Beautiful accommodation in stunning surroundings. Very helpful hosts. Only one small criticism is the fridge is very small especially if more than two people staying for over 2days. Also the seating area indoors not cosy. However, the other facilities were excellent and the visiting goats were wonderful to see. An absolutely fantastic place to stay and relax. I would definitely stay again.

Hobbit weekend
Excellent location for a relaxing 'time out'. Such admiration for the vision of those who created Gellila. The Hobbit huts are made to be very comfortable, which included all necessary equipment for cooking.
The views are breathtaking and are even better when sat in the hot tub with a glass of prosecco.

Great place, great views, great stay. Again.
This is the second time we have stayed at foxes view and my 4th time staying on that site. The location, views and the place itself are amazing. The hobbit house is really quirky and provides all you need. If there are any issues, someone will come and sort them for you and nothing is too much trouble. Hoping to visit again and stay in the new one. See you soon.

3 nights in Wales
Firstly, the site is lovely, close to Elan Valley and the accommodation position of Foxes View was great as it’s at the end of the row of hobbit holes. We were without a fire pit when we arrived but owner very quickly put one out for us.
The accommodation size is great. It does look run down in places though, flooring has some nicks in it etc. The kitchen was fine although the fridge wasn’t very cold. Hot water in sinks etc perfect but shower tepid. Hot tub was lovely and clean but only some jets worked and dials were not working properly.
I’m really glad we experienced this site but for the price we wouldn’t return without the small niggles being rectified.

Novelty experience with incredible views
The experience of staying in a 'den' was 10/10, the kids thought it was fantastic and it was. The views were just incredible and you could sit and look at them for hours. As for sitting for hours that was difficult, the seating area isn't comfortable, you can't get cosy on the bench seating. In the end we went to bed as I couldn't sit/ hover/ lean any longer. The cabin is looking worn in places but this is easily overlooked for a one night stay.

Fab family break
We've just got back from a fabulous family break in the foxes view underground house. We loved the house, especially the hot tub! Great location for going on some lovely walks, my 5 year old particularly loved the walk to the dam.
Thank you for a fantastic experience, we'll definitely be going back.

Wonderful
This was the third time I'd visited, each time staying in a different accommodation type. This time, as there were 5 of us and the dog, we chose Foxes View and wow, we weren't disappointed.
Fabulous views, immaculate accommodation and plenty of room for all of us.
The location is out of the main town but only a short drive away. Perfect if you want to be out of the way but close enough to pop to the shops.
We will definitely be visiting again because of how special this place is.

Family Break
Perfect relaxing stay, amazing location away from it all
Only slight negative was that the sofa could have been a bit more comfortable but didn't distract from our stay.
Already looking to come back.

Beautiful Location and a Unique Stay
We came to stay at Foxes View to celebrate my friend's 40th Birthday. Safe to say we were blown away by the accommodation and the view! The perfect quirky place to stay with the added bonus of Highland Cows. We had a slight issue with the jacuzzi on the first night, but the owners were really helpful and quick to sort it out. Great location, very close to the beautiful Elan Valley. We'll definitely be back!

Had a lovely time staying here
A lovely unique place to stay. We had such a nice time and took our bullmastiff with us. He loved it!!
The only bits of feedback we had was the sofa was uncomfortable and hard to get cosy on (but we understand the design) and parts of the accommodation were looking abit tired and could do with a bit of tlc.
We will be recommending you to friends and family and will try and come again on the future!
Thank you!

2-day break
Lovely stay, with amazing views! Foxes view had everything we need for our 2-day break.
The only thing which was disappointing (nothing to do with the actual property) was that whilst walking around the site, there was a lot of rubbish waste like microwave/kettle boxes, recycling rubbish, old cabinets, fridge/freezers which some looked like they had been set fire too.

Idyllic stay
We have just returned from an amazing three night stay at Foxes View . The views as you drive to your property are truly amazing . The property itself is fantastic with fabulous views from all windows especially the bedroom . Waking up each morning was a pleasure . The Hobbit House is well equipped for a self catering stay . I would definitely recommend a stay here and we can’t wait to return .

Beautiful
We stayed in Foxes view which was absolutely beautiful. They view was stunning especially seeing the highland cows and calf’s. Nothing was to much and anything we asked about or any issues were felt with straight away.
My two little ones loved watching the cows, sheep and red kites every morning and every evening and loved the hot tub.
Although you think your close to the other hobbit houses you not thanks to grass verges and bushes giving you a complete private feel.
We will definitely be returning.

Foxes View
This was a fantastic place for our little getaway.
The property was really nice and had everything we needed. The kids loved it as it looked like a hobbit house……so did we, our own little slice of the shire.
The views are stunning and it’s so peaceful, spent the evenings around the fire pit toasting marshmallows and star gazing. Lovely family break and we’ll definitely be back.
