Badgers View – Unique Underground Stay in the Heart of Mid Wales
Tucked into the hillside of rural Mid Wales, Badgers View is a truly one-of-a-kind underground house that promises a stay to remember. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or an adventurous base to explore the wonders of Wales, this cosy yet quirky retreat ticks all the boxes – and your bucket list.
Just a short drive from the lively market town of Rhayader, this family-friendly hideaway is perfectly placed for discovering the breathtaking Elan Valley, the Gilfach Nature Reserve, and plenty of local charm.
Step inside from the idyllic outdoor space and into the heart of the home – an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area designed for connection and comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, and a fridge with freezer. The large dining area, complete with high stools, is the perfect spot for sharing meals, laughter, and even a round of your favourite board game.
Sleeping up to six guests, Badgers View features two king-size bedrooms and a cosy bunk room that children will love – their very own "secret burrow." Choose the king room with direct access to the patio for those easy morning dips in the hot tub. Each bedroom is beautifully appointed with crisp white linens and plush bedding for a restful night and well-deserved lie-in.
Outside, your private garden space overlooks uninterrupted countryside views – the ideal setting for soaking in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly or gathering around the fire pit to toast marshmallows under the stars. With the round Hobbit-style windows and snug underground charm, this property truly feels like something out of a storybook.
Whether you're planning a romantic retreat, a family adventure, or a relaxing break with friends (and your furry companion), Badgers View offers a magical and memorable escape in one of Wales' most scenic locations.
Book your stay at Badgers View and discover the joy of going underground – comfort, charm, and countryside bliss await.
Up to two dogs welcome but must be kept off the furniture and on a lead
NOTE: Please note this property is located next to Cwmythig Moto Cross Track, there are events running on the following dates: Sunday 28th September.

We had a fantastic stay in Gellilas. Brilliant experience being in a hobbit home. The location is superb with loads to do nearby. Inside the home was spotless and made a very good first impression. We did however notice a few points that could easily be rectified and would have made this a more comfortable experience. Firstly the seating bonquette style was extremely uncomfortable and in our opinion totally unnecessary as a corner sofa would have fitted easily. Not only was it uncomfortable we were sticking to the seating, wearing shorts as it was hot weather. Secondly the tv was preset to only have bbc channels available all the other channels were via apps so needed to have logins created, we didn’t feel safe doing this as our details might be seen by future guests. Maybe a company log in would negate this issue. Lastly a number of floorboards had risen or worn which would have the potential to cause a trip/injury.
As we said these are minor issues and did not detract from the time we spent there and it would not stop us from using Holidays Wales or this site again but maybe not Badgers View.

Fantastic location and loved the accommodation, however it was very wet and windy when we stayed and there was water dripping through the lights in the kitchen onto our backs when we were eating at the table. One of the bedrooms had water coming through the door making it very damp. It seems maybe it could have done with some TLC to make sure these issues are sorted.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The views are stunning, the local town is lovely. The first look of badgers view we were so excited. Then we entered to hut. It didn’t smell clean, the floors were dirty luckily there was a broom there so I could sweep up the last guests dirt. The kitchen is in much need of a make over, the sides are in awful condition, the fridge is cracked, the floor is all over the place, it’s starting to dip. The floor boards are starting to come apart this is due to the damp. The whole kitchen looked dirty. The bedroom with the door on the front was perfectly fine, the other bedroom with the window was fine but the window didn’t open with the key being missing, this is surely an emergency exit hazard. The bedroom with the bunkbeds needed the floors sweeping, the top bunk mattress was miles to small for the bed so there was a pillow put in the gap to cover it. Down the hall was there was a mat covering a whole in the floor, it was felt straight away. The floor through out felt like it was sinking. You can see where the whole hut has sunk by how the doors are now hanging, the cracks up high in the bathroom and hall way. For how much it cost to stay for the weekend it think it’s general maintenance should be kept up. Also there’s no way the hot tub is emptied and refilled between guests. All in all, a bit disappointing with the accommodation but the views and surrounding areas are lovely.
