Snaptrip says

Hillside View offers a tranquil retreat with stunning views, particularly enjoyed from the hot tub. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the secure garden for pets, and the proximity to nature and local amenities. While some mention construction noise and minor maintenance issues, the overall experience is highly regarded for its peacefulness and the friendly, helpful hosts.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests have praised the cleanliness of the accommodation, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.

The location is consistently lauded for its gorgeous views and proximity to nature reserves and local attractions. The peaceful setting and wildlife sightings contribute to a highly rated location.

Comfort receives positive remarks for the cosy atmosphere and the inclusion of essentials. However, some guests found the seating to be less comfortable, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.

Facilities like the hot tub are frequently highlighted as highlights of the stay. There are some comments about maintenance issues and the impact of nearby construction, which slightly lower the score.

While guests have mentioned the provision of items such as milk, sugar, and tea upon arrival, there is insufficient information to determine if these are consistent gestures of thoughtfulness or occasional gifts. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided.

About this property

A fabulously unique shepherds hut, situated within a small cluster of delightfully individual pods, beautifully designed and surrounded by breath taking scenery across the valley. The stunning far reaching views and stylish, cosy interior make this ideal for couples to snuggle up on a romantic break but also has a unique offering of being able to accommodate small families, perfect as a base to head off into the surrounding Cambrian Mountains whilst offering a real retreat to return back to. The open plan living area provides a comfortable bench sofa where you can relax in front of the TV and a well equipped kitchen and compact dining area, with the sofa converting into an ingenious bunk bed. The shower room is compact and well designed, like the rest of the hut, to maximise space and provide all the home comforts you need. The master double room gives this shepherds hut a feeling of space and added luxury with the awe inspiring hillside views. The shepherds hut is set in a private enclosed garden, where the dog and children can use up any remaining energy at the end of the day, whilst you sit and enjoy a cool drink as the sun goes down or perhaps slip into the enticing hot tub and soak in the views. The local bustling market town of Rhayader is less than two miles away, where you can sit and enjoy its restaurants and cafes or head off into the Cambrian Mountains and spend a day exploring the Elan Valley, with its imposing Victorian dams and reservoirs. Enjoy nearby nature reserves or marvel at the ‘dark skies’. Builth Wells, famous for the Royal Welsh Show is 17 miles away. Alternatively, if you fancy a complete change of scene, within an hours drive you could visit the Victorian seaside resort of Aberystwyth on the West Wales coast or take a day trip further north to the National Trusts Powis Castle, a medieval castle, providing a dramatic backdrop for its celebrated gardens.

The small Welsh town of Rhayader is an extremely scenic base for a holiday in Wales. Boasting the beauty of the Elen and Claerwen Valleys, as well as the Red Kite Feeding Station, it's encompassed by natural wonder and wildlife like no other. Alongside the town's various eateries and quaint shops, you can find a leisure centre as well as a weekly livestock market, or head further afield to Builth Wells to discover its annual events to suit a variety of tastes.

  • Keri

    Very clean, tidy and comfortable inside. Dogs absolutely loved zommies around the garden whilst humans sitting in the hot tub. Lovely to have milk, Welsh cakes and basic cleaning equipment on arrival. It would be really helpful for a sign when coming up and entering the property to help navigate. Would also be useful to have a little welcome guide noting places to visit, recycling facilitates etc.

    The frying pan was all scratched, that it was impossible to cook on it. Beds was really comfy.

  • Emma

    Had everything you could want and need plus an incredible hot tub to relax in. The secure garden was just perfect for the dog and us. Walking up to the sound of sheep and cows just perfect. The only negative point is the problem of flies which thankfully they do provide a fly paper.
