Beautiful break away

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in Hare's view underground house. The view is stunning! The accommodation had everything we needed and the welcome pack is a lovely touch. The beds were very comfortable and it felt spacious for the 5 of us. I think the only thing I would change would be the lounge seating area, witt the curve of the house I think a sofa would be nicer for relaxing. Thank you holiday wales for a great stay, we will certainly be back.

Lovely outdoor experience with beautiful surroundings.

We love the beautiful surroundings in the comfort of the hobbit home. The only feedback is the goats that come in a herd and seem pretty hostile. It was not pleasant experience. Thank goodness it was only for one evening. But overall it was fabulous stay.

Beautiful Weekend Stay

From the moment we arrived, we knew this was the best place for us! 6 of us in Hares View had the most amazing time! The beds are unbelievably comfy! The shower is beautiful and everything is really really clean! The hot tub was warm ready for us when we arrived, it was stunning with the most amazing scenery! We will definitely be returning!

A cosy and charming Hobbit hole

My husband and I stayed in the 'Hares View' cottage for our 10th Wedding Anniversary with our two little boys. We were blown away at how idyllic the setting and view were, and how well equipped and laid out the cottage was. As Tolkien fans, we were almost transported to Middle Earth due to how quaint and cosy it was. The hot tub and free waffles were a lovely touch! We'll definitely be back.

An absolute must place to stay

I highly recommend anyone to stay at Hares View, especially if they fancy somewhere different, fun & quirky. Situated in a picturesque area with unspoiled views for miles. The quaint village of Rhayader is just 2 miles from the site, where there is many shops & places to eat. The accommodation is completely private, with no one overlooking. Therefore, it is very relaxing when chilling in the hot tub. We’ll definitely be returning at some point.

Lovely Hobbit Experience

A lovely underground hobbit hole holiday home, with stunning views. Beautifully presented and clean, highly recommended. Sofa could do with an upgrade as you can’t sit back due to the roof, (we used the outside patio furniture) and curtains need little hooks to cover side windows. Would benefit from a sign on the entrance so you know you entering the right driveway too. Overall would love to stay again and try out the other accommodation on site.

Short break for a birthday celebration

The stay was for a surprise birthday treat, my wife was overjoyed and a little overwhelmed, especially with the birthday decorations being put up ready for arrival. Communication prior to arrival was very professional and helpful. I opted for a breakfast hamper, which had absolutely lovely produce inside, perfect for anyone arriving late evening. It certainly saves on the last minute shopping, as it's a couple of miles into town, and a good 20 minutes drive archway to larger supermarkets. Rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. Hot tub was also a hit with everyone too.

We will be back!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hare's View Lodge! The breathtaking views are truly captivating and hard to beat, setting the scene for a relaxing or activity-packed getaway—whatever you make of it. The accommodation itself is spacious, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and clearly well looked after. If I had to mention a minor detail, it’s that the seating area could be a bit more comfortable for a family of four. The corner seating is up against the lodge’s curved walls, so it’s a bit tricky to sit upright. A couple of bean bags or extra seating options would make it perfect, but that’s just me being picky! Overall, it’s an amazing location that everyone in our group enjoyed—kids, adults, and even the dog! Great value for money, and we’ll absolutely be back (maybe with our own bean bags or camp chairs!).
