The accommodation and the site are stunning. Really comfortable beds, very clean, and the hot tub is great. However there were a few negatives about Otters view. There were flies everywhere and in every room. We were provides with 2 sticky fly traps however the only place we could find to hang them was from the light right above the dinner table. The oven wasn't sealed properly so the fire alarm went off everytime we tried to cook. The curtain in the master bedroom doesn't cover the whole circular window so we were woken up as soon as the sun was up. We stayed in the middle of summer and wanted to spend as much time as possible outside however the accommodation is south facing and there is no shade provided at all. Other members of our party stayed further down asked for a parasol but the site do not provide anything like this. For the amount we paid for 2 nights I would expect that there was more attention paid to things that have been brought up in mine and in other reviews.

Everything was fine, except for the flies! There was one roll of fly paper but that was not enough to be of any good. Fly spray is needed. Particularly when you are preparing food the flies were everywhere. Also on the brief sent by email to me with all the information on you failed to mention the location of the bins for the rubbish. I had to call you in the end because we couldn’t find them. Apart from the two small considerations that require action. Everything else was excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

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!

A Quirky, Beautiful Escape with Unforgettable Views From the moment we arrived, we were taken in by the sensational views and unique charm of the place. It’s quirky, beautifully designed, and has everything you need for a cosy, relaxing break. The added touches before arrival were incredibly helpful — from recommendations on local food spots to places to visit, everything was included to make sure we were fully prepped for the holiday. A special shoutout to Malimacs Events for the birthday balloon setup and Incredibly Indulgent by Mabel Mae for the delicious custom cake — both made the weekend feel even more special. The highlights where The hot tub. Watching the sunset and stargazing from the tub was an unforgettable experience. Inside was warm, clean, and well-equipped. Beds were comfy and freshly made with towels provided — it felt like a home away from home. The kids absolutely loved the morning visits from the friendly goats — though the 7am wake-up calls weren’t quite as appreciated by the adults! While the stay was on the pricier side (especially since we were out exploring most of the time due to the gorgeous weather), it was absolutely worth it for a weekend we’ll never forget. Must-visits nearby: • Lamb & Flag for a hearty meal • Elan Valley — absolutely breathtaking • Aberystwyth beach & cliff railway Overall, a magical weekend retreat with memories to last a lifetime.

Beautiful location and we loved the goats! Rhayader had so much more to offer than we expected such as the riverside walk.

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!

Beautiful stay, lovely place. Shame about the master bedroom curtains do not reach across no privacy so anyone could look in. Outside lighting didn’t work which was very dark at night so can’t see anything. Some of the facilities that they say wasn’t provided but Tesco is only 20mins away. Would stay again and recommend to stay just very expensive.

We first stayed here in 2022 and loved it so much we came back again this year! We also booked another holiday next year and cannot wait

10.0 / 10.0

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!

We've just got back from our second stay at Otters View and can't wait to go again, the pod is a must do experience for any Lord of the Rings fans and the views are amazing!

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 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

We had been wanting to stay at these hobbit houses since seeing them on Instagram. We were disappointed. We found them really expensive for what they are. The bunk bed room was claustrophobic and like being shut in a cupboard. In the main bedroom there were no curtains up to the curved parts of the window so when we were in bed people could see us in bed that were walking past. We had really bad condensation in the rooms I’m talking dripping off the windows which wouldn’t be good for anyone with asthma/breathing problems. They say they are pet friendly but then under no circumstances leave your dog in unattended. Our lab is old and can’t walk far so that was a problem as we couldn’t walk as far as we had hoped. We came home a day early and wouldn’t recommend or come back. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but these are really overpriced

10.0 / 10.0

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!

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.

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.

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!

I loved the hobbit holes and have wanted to stay in them for ages but they are very booked up. I thought they were great but expensive for what they were. As they are pricey then expectations are naturally high. The plug socket didn’t work near the dresser so not anywhere to properly get ready in main bedroom, also curtains only available on the door and not the side windows so lack of privacy and let’s light in. Due to no windows there’s a musty smell in the second bedroom. A welcome hamper would have been a nice touch given the cost to stay in these, other less pricey places in wales we have been given Welsh welcome hampers. Hot tub was great and could adjust the temp. Lack of privacy though.

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!

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!!

We missed the signage on our accommodation arriving after the 4pm check in time we found lots of accommodation already occupied and as there was a lady standing outside “otters view” with a Tesco carrier bag smoking a cigarette we disregarded the accommodation as occupied- not the best first impression. The accommodation was very dusty and not a pleasant smell which lingered throughout. Also, be mindful of the fridge if you plan to take food we stored an expensive M and S food shop in the fridge which froze it all so was all unusable which was very costly. Some lovely local pubs serving food. We slept on the bunk beds unfortunately as one of the double bedrooms was unusable as the curtains did not fit the door letting in lots of light and in the other double bedroom the bed was very uncomfortable. On a positive note the location was beautiful, peaceful and Elan Valley was well worth a visit. The children loved the hot tub and it was a great addition to the property.

Well appointed accommodation. Loved the hot tub and the fire pit. Only 4 seats outdoors and sleeps 6. Great for children. Beautiful views and although several properties on the site it was quiet even though full. Recommend Lion Pony trekking and seeing the Red Kite feeding. Book ahead if wishing to eat out.
