    Otters View – Cosy Underground Escape in the Heart of Mid Wales

    Otters View is the definition of cosy, quirky stay and is the perfect place for a group of up to six people to make memories to last a lifetime! With some of the most amazing views Mid Wales' has to offer from the doorstep, this idyllic Underground House nestled in the hillside really is a bucket list stay, so make sure you tick this one off the list

    Enter the property from the idyllic outside area and you are greeted by the pristine open plan living/dining & kitchen area, the hub of the Underground House where memories will truly be made. 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!

    Otters View is the perfect stay for up to six adults,with two king sized bedrooms & a bunk room, be sure to grab the king room with the doors onto the patio area for easy access to the hot tub! These bedrooms boast crisp, white bedding and the perfect place to relax and make the most of that much needed lie in you have been promising yourself.

    The outside space at this property really is idyllic, your own private area overlooking one of Wales' best views, y ou really need to see it to believe it! Relax with a glass of your favourite bubbly in the exclusive hot tub and then later at night toast gooey marshmallows over the fire pit.

A beautifully relaxing Easter weekend

We stayed in otters over Easter weekend. We loved the stay and will be returning. The local village is a short drive away and has pubs, shops, cafes etc. The highlight of the trip for my children was waking up to goats at the door

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.

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.

Otters View

Cost reflects the very high standard of everything at Otters View. We were impressed from the moment we drew up and remained so during our stay. The Welcome Pack delighted my granddaughters as they are huge fans of Stroop Waffles and I was very grateful for the tea, coffee, sugar and milk. Otters View was immaculately clean, well provisioned and comfortable. We all agreed we would love to live there! Views were great, as was the peace and quiet. The girls spent most of their time in the hot tub when we were not out and about. Admin before and after was great especially the phone call to say we had left an iPad behind so we could turn round and go back to get it. Would highly recommend Holiday Wales and Otters View and I will definitely be booking again. Thank you for helping me achieve my ambition of being a Hobbit if only for a few days

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!

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!

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!

Birthday break

Our second time staying here at otters view. Loved the peacefulness and beautiful setting on the hillside while relaxing in the hot tub with a (plastic) glass of wine watching the kites soar over the fields of cows and sheep. The ease of check in is very well explained with the key safe code and you don’t have to have any contact with anyone if you don’t need to which we didn’t as there was no problems on either of our stays but numbers are provided in the accommodation for any need for contact. A great place to get away and unplug from everything but also within easy reach of Rhayader and the Elan valley dams and reservoirs. Will definitely return.

We loved our stay in the hobbit homes

We loved our stay in Otters view. Situated on a stunning hillside with great views all round, immaculately kept inside and out, it was a great stay for 4 adults and two dogs. We would certainly recommend! Customer service was also great, and it was easy to get in contact for details and arrangements on the property. Highly recommend turning off all the lights on a clear evening in the hot tub to enjoy the star lit sky we also enjoyed our luxury log package for the fire pit! Our only recommendation would be to bring fans for the bedrooms if you are staying in warmer months as we found the property to be very warm, or perhaps if there was a possibility to include netting for the doors so that you could leave them open in the evenings without attracting bugs it would be a great plus!!

Breathtaking views, Amazing staycation!!

Upon arrival we were taken back by the location, stunning views! The site is lovely and quiet and clean. Our hobbit house was clean, a lovely welcome tray of goodies. We have 3 daughters who absolutely loved it. The hot tub was a massive hit- although there is no way you can put the temp down manually. Overall, the has got to be one of our top rated family holidays, yes it’s more expensive than a caravan by the sea but it is totally worth it if you are after total relaxation- 100% visit Elan Valley dams about 10 mins away! We will miss waking up to seeing the cows in the opposite field! We hope to return again in the future! Thank you for having us!
