The neutral, warming colours of this interior really give off the home from home glow so you can feel utterly relaxed during your stay.

The kitchen comes complete with oven, hob, microwave, kettle & toaster as well as a fridge with freezer and a large dining area with high stools, the perfect place to enjoy that family favourite supper or get engrossed in a board game. Nestle into the plush grey corner sofa and get stuck into that series on Netflix you had already started!

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

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!

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.

Excellent and quirky, beautiful views. Would recommend a stay.

Everything was fine, except for the flies! There was one roll of fly paper but that was not enough to be of any good. Fly spray is needed. Particularly when you are preparing food the flies were everywhere. Also on the brief sent by email to me with all the information on you failed to mention the location of the bins for the rubbish. I had to call you in the end because we couldn’t find them. Apart from the two small considerations that require action. Everything else was excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

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.

Lovely stay with the hopes to return!

Our stay at Otters View in Wales was nothing short of magical! The cabin was incredibly cozy, offering a perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm. Waking up to the serene sounds of nature and the stunning views of the surrounding countryside was an experience we’ll never forget. One of the highlights was the hot tub—it was pure bliss to relax in the warm water under the stars, completely immersed in the tranquil atmosphere. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into every detail, ensuring the cabin was well-equipped and immaculately clean. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape in nature with a touch of luxury, Otters View is absolutely the place to go. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Amazing experience

We have stayed on site before in one of the pods but wanted to try the hobbit house, it did not disappoint! It was amazing! So cosy, comfortable, even in the rain we just stayed in and chilled! The dog loved it too! Hot tub was lovely outside, wish we had the weather to be able to sit out but that can’t be helped! Would definitely like to return one day, highly recommend!

Beautiful stay

Beautiful stay, lovely place. Shame about the master bedroom curtains do not reach across no privacy so anyone could look in. Outside lighting didn’t work which was very dark at night so can’t see anything. Some of the facilities that they say wasn’t provided but Tesco is only 20mins away. Would stay again and recommend to stay just very expensive.
