Hedgehogs View - a hobbit hut that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

HOT TUB | PET FRIENDLY | PARKING | FIRE PIT | VIEWS

Overview of Hedgehogs View, Underground House ..
If you are looking for a luxury yet one of a kind stay than Hedgehogs View is the place for you, nestled in the heart of rural Mid Wales with idyllic panoramic views to match- a few days away here really is a little piece of heaven.

Located near the bustling market town of Rhayader & a stones throw away from the ever popular Elan Valley, this Underground House is situated on a site of further luxury stays including Glamping Pods & Shepherds Huts yet still remains private for that relaxing getaway you have been promising yourself. Sleeping up to six guests over three ground floor bedrooms, Hedgehogs View can suitably accommodate a romantic getaway for two or equally welcome a family holiday or get together with friends.

Follow the charming path to the property entrance and greet yourself inside to the open plan area which really maximises the space on offer and ensures you don't miss out on a thing when holidaying with friends and family. The living area boasts a plush burnt orange sofa and from here you can either chill out with your feet up and catch up on your favourite series on the smart television or admire the one of kind emerald green kitchen. The kitchen area comes fully equipped with oven, hob and fridge with ice compartment, and microwave. Whether you have cooked up a storm or ordered in a takeaway there is space for six people around the dining table with the most comfy of dining chairs so that all guests can dine & raise a glass together.

With two plush king size rooms, the spacious master bedroom accommodates a unique (& Instagram worthy) free standing bathtub run over looking the view of the green fields and hills rolling into the the distance. On the warmer days open up the French doors to allow that fresh air to fill the room while you relax with that favourite glass of bubbly in hand. The second king room has French doors leading out onto the paved area outside & the additional bedroom is a bunk room hosting two single beds. The family bathroom comes complete with free standing sink basin with illuminated mirror, large shower & flushing WC.

If all this sounds fabulous, wait until you hear about the outside.. Hedgehogs View has its very own private hot tub on the spacious paved area, so you can sit back and relax in the bubbles an admire the stunning view of the valley below. If you enjoy alfresco dining, there is an outdoor seating area with fire pit, perfect for toasting marshmallows under the glorious evening sky.

This property is truly is a 'hidden' gem. Quirky, cosy and created just for you with all the unique features it has to offer.

Up to two dogs welcome but must be kept off the furniture and on a lead when outside.

The perfect break
Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, truly amazing. Perfect views, comfort and privacy was on point in the Hedgehog view lodge, had everything we needed. I surprised my husband here for his 30th birthday and he loved every second of it, Gemma was amazing and helped get me surprise balloons etc for arrival to make it that bit more special. Definitely will be coming back, contemplating a Christmas here because it’s just perfect.

This is our third year here and as soon as we get there we feel at peace it truly is our happy place. Luckily the weather held out this year and we enjoyed great walks and pony trekking. Hedgehogs view is a great place to stay, comfortable and the hot tub is great. We will definitely be back x

Girls Break
Hedgehogs View is beautiful just like the photos show. We really enjoyed our stay but wouldn't return as the beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. We unfortunately had rainy weather across all three days we were there so didn't get to enjoy sitting outside. This meant we had to sit inside when at Hedgehogs View and the sofa isn't very big so only just provides seating for 4 adults. I would recommend the property to others but would advise that 4 adults is the max and to bring your own pillows!

Wonderful calm family getaway in a peaceful location
Our family of 10, and 2 dogs, booked Rabbits View and Hedgehogs view. Both right next to each other. This meant the kids could run back and fourth to each other without a care in the world. Such a wonderful location and we had a great patch of green to ourselves to overlook the cows in the field across from us. Booking process was simple - the emails from the provider were helpful and informative. Local area is nice, a 5 min drive into the village, where there are little village shops and nice pubs. There are wonderful walks/hikes, parks, and farms nearby to explore. Would need a car to get to them.

Amazing and unique getaway
We absolutely adored our stay at Hedgehogs view! The pictures looked amazing when we booked but it was even better in real life! It is set up with everything you could need. We were travelling with a toddler and they even provided a travel cot & highchair for us so we didn't have to bring those with us! The information they provide once you have booked is brilliant, everything from what to do in the local area from where to eat or even order food from! The communication with the team was so quick and easy. Our accommodation had a hot tub which was a lovely touch to enjoy once we had put our daughter to bed! The place was immaculate and we honestly couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back to stay again in the future.

Lovely accommodation with stunning views
We really liked the hobbit style hut. It was unique and quaint, like somewhere we had never stayed before. The views were amazing. The hut was finished to a high spec, although it was quite warm constantly. We couldn’t find a thermostat to turn the heating down. We did turn the radiators down but it didn’t make much difference and had to open the door to let in fresh air, which was not ideal with a dog and the surrounding grounds not being enclosed. Two of the three external doors were quite stiff to lock and we found that one of the doors didn’t lock at all and this has been unlocked before we got there and for the whole of our stay (it was in a bedroom we didn’t use and so didn’t notice this towards the very end of our stay). The hut had the majority of things we needed on arrival such as tea, coffee, sugar, milk and towels. Towels for the hot tub weren’t provided but the booking info did advise of this. We would stay again.

Good Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Hedgehogs view. The Location is fantastic and what a lovely view over the valley. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and making use of the outside seating with this fantastic sunny weather we had. The whole place was really clean and well designed. What a great idea and we would love to stay again!! There were a couple of things which should be addressed. Most importantly are the beds/mattresses. We found that the beds have really high sides which meant when you sat on the edge they were digging into your thighs. Also when laying on the bed when you went to sleep our arms would rest on the high sides and be uncomfortable. The mattresses on the double beds have big dips in them. Which meant we were sliding into the dips all night and we couldn’t sleep properly. We turned the mattress around 180 degrees to see if that would work due to not being turned however it was just as bad unfortunately. Both of these issues would be fixed with new deeper mattresses. The minor issues were that some of the jets in the hot tub would fall out and float in the tub. We tried screwing them back in but when using the next time they would pop back out. We found the toaster not working properly, when putting the bread in, the silver arms to hold the toast wouldn’t move. The curtains in the bedroom are lovely but adding little hooks to the side so they can spread all the way across the window not just the door would be great. Just so in the morning you don’t wake up early with the sunrise. These are just some small issues which can be easily fixed and we appreciate without you knowing these, they can’t be fixed :) This isn’t a negative review so please don’t read it that way!! We had such an amazing time here, thank you :)

6/10 Okay

Awful bed
The bed has a wooden board all the way around it and the mattress was too small and too shallow so you could not sit on the bed and getting in and out hurt the back of your legs. The sofa wasn't big enough for us all to sit on it together. There was no handle for the grill and no fish slice to make a fried egg. The curtains didn't cover all of the window. The hot tub was lovely but there wasn't enough light to see the steps to get in and out of it at night, nor to see the path clearly when walking from the car. Only plus for me was the location.
