Lovely place
Had a really lovely stay in Mountian View. Pod was lovely and clean and so was the hot tub. Nice big enclosed garden for the dogs. It was lovely for them to be free and able to come in and out of the pod as they please. Stunning views over the hills and with the sunshine it was just heavenly. Definitely be back again.

Mountain View with a VIEW
Still love my stays at The Views. I've been coming for four years now and have stayed in all types on the site now.
Mountain View Pod was ideally located on the site and easy to find on arrival. As expected the pod had everything you need for the stay and was warm and comfy, however the set up inside was awkward at times due to where the TV and sofa was situated making it difficult to watch TV comfortably.
Bathroom good size for the pod and shower was a good size.
Outside space is lovely as with all accommodation on site but felt overlooked at times when in the hot tub. Some hedging needs to be replaced or added.
Csnt wait to return next year with a shepherds hut on the cards.

2 night break
We had a 2 night stay at mountain view myself my wife and our puppy Labrador. Cleanliness very good and location not far from the town. The enclosed garden was one of the things we appreciated the most as it was safe for the dog with plenty of room for her to run around and exercise. Location was very picturesque, hot tub very welcome too and would definitely visit again.

Lovely short stay location
Amazing base to go out and explore the countryside lots of great things to see such as dams and waterfalls. The Pod itself was clean and tidy with a hot tub which was amazing to sit in and watch the sun set. The surrounding area has some nice walks and wildlife everywhere was a very pleasant short 2 night stay would highly recommend.

A Perfect Mountain Getaway in Wales
We stayed at the Holiday Wales Mountain View Cabin, and it was totally worth it. The mountain views were stunning, and the cabin itself was absolutely fabulous—spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable.
All the equipment we needed was provided, which made our stay easy and stress-free. The cherry on top was the fire pit and the jacuzzi, which made the experience even more special and relaxing.
The location is perfect for both short and long holidays, offering peace, comfort, and beautiful surroundings.
Apologies to Julia—we didn’t have a pen with us, which is why we couldn’t leave a note on the card. A special thank you to Julie for keeping the cabin so clean and welcoming for us.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be coming back, hopefully with a larger group next time!

Mountain View
Beautiful peaceful location to relax and chill out. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and had all that was necessary for our stay. The secure fenced garden was ideal to keep our dog safe during our stay. Thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the hot tub with such a superb view of the valley and surrounding mountains and fantastic sunsets. Will be back again in the future to enjoy a further break.

Absolutely loved it!!
I booked this stay to get my puppy away from the fireworks this year and it was the best decision I ever made. It was isolated enough to be away from the bangs but close enough to the town for anything we needed. The property was perfectly cosy and Pedro had the best time and had complete freedom in the large garden, the hot tub was an added bonus . Thank you for a wonderful stay, I’m already looking to book for the same time next year ☺️

What a find!!
Mountain View pod certainly didn’t disappoint . Everything was just perfect. The pod was lovely and clean, the little touches of tea bags, milk, coffee, sugar, waffles and washing up bits were such a lovely touch. I can’t fault this place or the service at all and I’ll definitely be back. Such a beautiful place tucked out the way but close enough to get to other places easy enough. We absolutely loved it!!

Review for Mountain View
Lovely comfortable accommodation with beautiful views of the countryside. Safe enclosed garden for our dog. One of the double doors to the pod requires attention as the bolt was not secure at the top and needs repairing.

A lovely Weekend away
We stayed for 2 nights in the Mountain View pod, it was all ready for our arrival and they had opened the door for us before we arrived. The pod itself was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. We brought our dog with us and the enclosed garden was brilliant as it meant we could let him out of an evening without being worried he would escape. The view from the pod was gorgeous and we spent both nights in the hot tub. We took our dog for a walk round Elan valley in the day time which is 10 mins drive from the pods and had dinner in a local pub which was also dog friendly. We had a lovely weekend here and would definitely come again

A lovely stay in Mid Wales
We had a lovely stay for birthday/anniversary.
The only issues we had were that a blind was broken and there were 3 lots of dog mess in the garden area.
We contacted the owner who apologised and said she would deal with this.
The following evening the dog mess was still there and we had to source a poo bags and pick this up ourselves and
The blind remained broken.

Lovely countryside setting
Positives: fabulous setting, wonderful views, large garden gives plenty of outside space, hot tub fab, the cabin is comfortable & mostly has everything you’d need.
Negatives: boiler not far from bed so kept me awake all night (I’m a light sleeper). No mirror anywhere. Blinds are useless so don’t expect a dark room when sleeping. Lots of dog poo in the garden, one corner was particularly bad & I called dog poo corner. Plates, bowls & mugs are all tiny!

Peace and quiet with a Mountain View
Easy to check in upon arrival, pod was lovely with everything you need.
Only downside was the hot tub didn’t work properly. Reported upon arrival, someone came and reset. Was told to report again if not working after 30 minutes. Did so but no further action made and was told different things. Communication wasn’t great.
Would return but expect everything to be working properly given the amount paid.

Easter Dog Friendly Break
We had a really enjoyable 3 night stay in Mountain View Pod, perfect for us as 2 adults with 2 dogs (one large, one small).
The pod has everything you need for a short break. Fully kitted out kitchen including tea, coffee and milk. Bed & sofa were both very comfortable. Bathroom was clean and the shower was really powerful which was welcomed after long walks.
Absolutely huge garden with amazing views and of course, a spacious hot tub. Just two minor comments from us re the garden; our sausage dog could escape under the gates. We found a large, heavy plank of wood behind the pod which we dragged across to block the gap. Not a major issue but we had to do this each time we wanted to go out in the car. Second slight annoyance was that the previous guests didn’t clean up after their dog. I felt compelled to clean this up as I didn’t want this to reflect badly on us, as respectful guests.
The area was ideal for us. We wanted a break away in the middle of no where away from our usual, very hectic lives and this was just perfect. The local town was a 2 minute drive away which has everything you need but I wouldn’t fancy walking to it as (I think) the only way is to walk on the roadside down a fast, dark country road. Also great location if you’re wanting to find different places to walk, like us. Lots of to choose from.
Our second time staying with Holiday Wales and it definitely won’t be our last.
Highly recommend.

Fantastic Site and Accomodation
This was my first stay at the Holidays Wales site and it won’t be my last. The site was clean and well maintained with the most amazing views of the Cambrian Mountains. I absolutely loved the glamping pod I stayed in as it was clean and had everything you need for a short holiday with a comfortable double bed and sofa. The hot tub was also clean and well maintained - perfect to relax in after a day of walking around Rhayader or the Elan Valley. The local town of Rhayader was only 5 mins away in the car and had a few friendly pubs that I ate in and had delicious meals. The Red Kite Feeding Station a short distance away is amazing and well worth a visit.
