A fabulously unique Shepherds Hut, situated within a small cluster of delightfully individual pods, beautifully designed and surrounded by breathtaking scenery across the Valley.

Stunning location

I think the previous reviews have said it all.

The enclosed garden was brilliant for our dog. Had the weather been on our side, we would have enjoyed sitting there. Never stayed in a shepherd's hut before, so weren't certain what to expect. It was warm, and plenty of hot water for showering and washing the dishes.

They definitely need a new frying pan in the kitchen as it was very scratched and wasn't flat- so it made cooking a bit of a problem. We didn't find the seating area or bed comfortable, so there were a few disturbed nights. I also agree with another reviewer who suggested a mirror in the bedroom. My wife is 5ft 2 and had to stand on tip-toes to see the bottom of her face in the bathroom mirror!

The hot-tub was clean and a good temperature. It was so relaxing to sit in it to watch the red kites and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, the frame for the cover had broken, so it took the two of us to take it off and put it on. It also would have been useful if there was something nearby where we could put drinks that could be reached when in thre hot-tub. It didn't feel very safe to balance them on the corners- especially when trying to get off the steps into the water.

Having said all that the views, quiet location, wildlife and convenience for the Elan Valley mean that I'd recommend everyone gives it a try. If we knew there was a comfier mattress, we'd definitely return.

Did I mention the red kites? They were so close to us and amazing to watch.



Excelent

We really enjoyed our stay in Hillside View.
It’s on a lovely site with great views over the countryside.
Close driving proximity to a little town with pubs, a shop and takeaways (if needed).
Very clean accommodation with a few little welcome treats, which was a nice touch.
Hot tub a really nice addition and the enclosed garden was great for the dog.




Perfect

Good location to everything. Elan Valley 100% worth a visit. AMAZING it is dog friendly, garden is bigger than you think, our dog loved it, peace of mind knowing they are safe. Farm animals always welcome to see. Hottub/firepit are awesome accessories.

My only feedback would be, with bookings could you look at attaching a site map to locate each cabin/hut. Name on gate isn't always clear esp if they are open, or a placard with a lodge labeled close by. But nothing major as we couldn't fault this at all. It was truly what we needed.

We had a wonderful stay here at the end of May. The hut was beautiful, and so cosy, and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc. The location was great, being just 5 mins from Rhayader for when we needed supplies, and just a short drive to multiple lovely walks. The enclosed garden was a godsend for us - it allowed our dog to have free run outside without the worry of him escaping. The hot tub was blessing after out long walks in the hills.

The only downsides were a lack of a mirror in the bedroom - there was only one small mirror in the bathroom, and the TV wasn't the easiest to use - the remote did not work very well. Apart from that, all was great and we would definitely recommend.

We loved our stay here! It’s our 2nd time at this site. It’s perfect to relax and chill. The hot tub and outside fire are great extras. Will definitely be returning soon.
