If you're seeking a luxury stay that's truly one of a kind, Rabbits View is your dream escape. Nestled in the heart of rural Mid Wales, this hidden gem offers breathtaking panoramic views and an experience that's nothing short of heavenly.
Located just outside the bustling market town of Rhayader and only a stone's throw from the iconic Elan Valley, this stunning underground house is part of an exclusive site that includes glamping pods and shepherds huts. Despite its surroundings, it remains wonderfully private—perfect for the relaxing retreat you've been promising yourself.

Follow the charming path to the entrance and step into a beautifully designed open-plan living space that invites connection and comfort.

Each bedroom has its own unique charm. The spacious master features a king-size bed and a freestanding bathtub with views of rolling green hills—ideal for soaking with a glass of bubbly in hand. On warmer days, open the French doors and let in the fresh countryside air. The second king-size bedroom also offers French doors leading directly onto the paved outdoor area, while the third bedroom includes a cozy bunk bed setup with two single beds—great for children or extra guests. The modern family bathroom is fitted with a large shower, a freestanding sink with illuminated mirror, and a flushing WC.
Step outside to truly appreciate what makes Rabbits View so special. The private hot tub, set on a spacious patio, invites you to sit back and relax while soaking in the views across the valley below. An outdoor dining area and fire pit make for perfect evenings under the stars—whether you're toasting marshmallows or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance of rural Wales.

What a beautiful stay. The views are absolutely amazing. 3 bedrooms and ample space. We used the outside as we were blessed with great weather. Fire pit in the evenings, just perfection

Unique & peaceful holiday

We had great time here. It’s difficult to capture all the beauty of this place. You have to be there & see it for yourself. So peaceful & lovely. My parents were so happy. I wish I had booked longer holiday there.

Beautiful accommodation

Absolutely amazing place !! The accommodation is brilliant, never stayed anywhere like it before. Also, having the highland cows in the field in front was a real bonus for my daughter, who loves them !! Would highly recommend it. Only a small downside, only one bathroom and when there is 5 people staying need another toilet !!

Perfect little hideaway

Great find for a little getaway. The views from the accommodation were spectacular and only around 15min drive to the Elan Valley Visitor Centre where we could enjoy a fantastic walk around the reservoir. I would recommend this as a good place for a quiet getaway or as a relaxing place to come back to each night after long walks over the hills.

Excellent as always

This is our second visit to the hobbit houses and we absolutely loved it as much as the first time , we came back with friends this time and stayed in the bigger rabbits view which was stunning , it was so safe and clean for the kids ( 3,2,10 months ) they loved being able to see the animals from the window , we had some lovely little goats come and visit us each morning . Highly recommend holiday wales hobbit houses for a unique break away with friends or family , we will be making it a yearly tradition ☺️

Beautiful stay

We were delighted with our hobbit hut, really lovely and well arranged. The views are stunning, the bath in the bedroom a nice touch on a rainy day - we had a relaxing time enjoying the place and surroundings. Few pubs, restaurants in the local village which was perfect for our evenings. If you want a change a scenery, chill and recharge the batteries, this is the place to be.

Perfect weekend away!

We stayed at Rabbits View for our “mini moon” and it couldn’t have been better! The location was easy to find and only a short drive from Rhyader which has a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. The accommodation itself is nestled in the hillside and although other properties on the site surround it, it has such a private feel once inside. It’s beautifully finished with a fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. The hot tub is and extra treat after a long day walking around the Elan Valley reservoirs which are a 5 mile drive away. We had the best weekend- despite some wild weather and will definitely be returning!

Great stay with kids

We stayed a couple of nights with our 7 and 12 year olds. 2 days of rain didn't really matter as the kids had a great time. There's a good amount of space, great views, seems fairly new with everything you need, hot tub, fire pit, parking right outside cabin etc.... A good location, really quiet but just 5 minute drive from a small village which was handy for supplies and close to the Elan Valley.

Teenagers and a Dog

We booked the Rabbits View as my son is a huge Lord of the Rings fan and they didn't disapoint, what has been built is absolutely amazing and the hot tub was top notch, would love to come back for a visit.

Hen do venue

Rabbits View is well placed and a lovely place to stay . A draining rack would have been an asset and a larger fridge ! Perhaps another toilet would have been beneficial . I know the weather has been exceptional but due to lack of windows perhaps air conditioning should be considered for future builds and a parasol on patio area . Highly recommend Aggi who came and gave us all massages . Overall our stay was amazing and the accomodation was lovely . Thank you

The perfect family getaway

I was looking to have a break from home and work life for a couple of nights and have some family time. It was very easy to book and communication with the staff was 5* The hobbit house was perfect! It was big enough for the 5 of us, clean and tidy, the beds were really comfortable, all furnishings were really good quality, there were hand and bath towels for everyone and they even included coffee, tea, sugar, milk, washing up liquid and soap! Even though there are other hobbit houses, they are far enough apart so it feels like no one else is there. The hot tub was easy to use and felt very private with a lovely view! We also used the big fire pit and toasted marshmallows. Even though it rained the whole time, it was a perfect break away! We will definitely return!

Loved our little house in the hillside ❤️

We stayed 3 nights (Fri-Mon), family of 5, 2 adults & 3 children. All absolutely loved staying at Rabbit’s view. It’s larger than I imagined it would be, the main double is a really good size and the stand alone bath really makes it. The other double is smaller but still a very good size, the bunk room is smaller again but great for little kids. The living area is lovely & comfortable and we liked all the modern decor. The kitchen did have some scratches on the paintwork & the fridge was small and not the best but apart from that we had no complaints. The star of the show was the hot tub for us. The views are beautiful and to sit whatever the weather and whatever time of day enjoying them is very special. The nearby town has a couple of nice pubs and shops. None of us wanted to leave our little hobbit house. Would definitely recommend a stay!

A few days of romance

We stayed here as a couple for our 6 year anniversary which was honestly lovely! My partner actually surprised me and proposed! So this will be a very special place to us forever!! Had a massage by Aggie which I highly recommend and also got some preordered food from farmgate2kitchengate (both contacts in your email from holidaywales). My only negative would be the insects and spiders!! I am not a creepy crawly kind of girl and if you dont like them bring some bug spray! The property do give you a fly trap but it wasnt enough. The flys, dragon flies, mosquitos, spiders and slugs were everywhere! Maybe the property can include some bug stuff for people to use - would change my review to 5 stars for sure! Also the kitchen would be another negative as the cupboards smelt like vomit - could of just been a dirty cup or something but I have weak stomach so couldnt go in said cupboard! Also another feedback for the owners would be to supply some cleaning products for the kitchen as couldnt find anything to clean down the kitchen sides/table and hob. Had such a lovely time even with the few bits of feedback to the owners! Will definetly return :)

Perfect way to spend a birthday

We celebrated my sister’s 40th birthday by visiting wales and staying at Rabbits view. Accommodation was beautiful, a perfect location and unique. The underground house was very comfortable, had everything you needed and the views were stunning. Although we had an amazing time some of the furnishing need replacing, the washing up bowl and kitchen bin were both split & missing some plastic. The towels that were supplied were stained which appeared to be bleach stains. Some of the kitchen utensils were very used and the frying pan - everything stuck to it. But this would not stop me from recommending Rabbits very or rebooking, just would be nice for a few replacement's.

Unique and beautiful place

We stayed here for a very small hen party celebration (4 ladies) and utterly loved it. The finish of the property was outstanding, everything was of incredibly high quality. The hot tub was brilliant - always super hot and a great size. Good amount of cooking utensils etc in the kitchen. Peaceful location and you don't really notice the other guests nearby that much. An absolutely genius idea for accommodation and such a creative and unique stay. Only slight negatives: The towels and bedding in a couple of the rooms smelt a little bit musty. You have to walk your own rubbish down to the bins at the end of the stay, which is fine if it's not pouring down with rain, but obviously not ideal if it is (which it was for us!) The hot water system doesn't allow enough hot water to actually fill the bathtub in the bedroom.

Lovely weekend away!

We went away as a group of Lord of The Rings fans and the accommodation was perfect! There was more than enough space for 6 adults and for all to be comfortable. The accommodation itself was in pristine condition, plenty of facilities to cook and good fridge/freezer space for a full house for two nights! The location was stunning! Very short drive or taxi ride into town where we had a lovely breakfast. We will absolutely be returning. Glowing reviews from all who joined me! Thank you so much :)

We enjoyed our stay very much, however I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the kitch

Kitchen cupboards sticky/dirty upon arrival which was easily wipeable - a little disappointing to find.
