Hare's View Underground House
HOT TUB | PET FRIENDLY | PARKING | FIRE PIT | VIEWS Discover Hares View: A Unique Underground Retreat- Hares View is just one of a cluster of magical homes set in the hillside of rural Mid Wales, stunning round windows give a feeling of being in a ‘burrow' and allow the natural light to flood in and brighten up your stay. The views from this property are simply breath-taking and far reaching, this is a truly unique place to stay and one you will remember for a long time.
Enter the property from the idyllic outside area and you are greeted by the pristine open plan living/dining & kitchen area, the hub of the Underground House where memories will truly be made.
The kitchen comes complete with oven, hob, microwave, kettle & toaster as well as a fridge with freezer space and a large dining area with high stools, the perfect place to enjoy that family favourite supper or get engrossed in a board game.
Hares View is the perfect stay for up to five adults,with two king sized bedrooms & a bunk room, be sure to grab the king room with the doors onto the patio area for easy access to the hot tub! These bedrooms boast crisp, white bedding and the perfect place to relax and make the most of that much needed lie in you have been promising yourself.
The outside space at this property really is idyllic, your own private area overlooking one of Wales' best views, you really need to see it to believe it! Relax with a glass of your favourite bubbly in the exclusive hot tub and then later at night toast gooey marshmallows over the fire pit.
Comfortable and deceptively light and airy, the excitement may be too much for everyone as you tuck yourselves in for your first night in your ‘den'. Beautiful quirky features, all mod cons, enjoy the feeling of being tucked away or sit out on the undulating hillside, sink into the hot tub and enjoy the views.
Located near the bustling market town of Rhayader, venture out and enjoy the lovely places to eat, watch the Red Kites fed locally, explore the majestic Elan Valley or enjoy a mosey in the local Gilfach Nature Reserve, there really is endless opportunities to explore.
Up to two dogs welcome but must be kept off the furniture and on a lead when outside.

Lovely stay!
We have just come back from a 2 night stay at Hares view! Incredible views! The hobbit house its self was lovely, so unique and different, my boys loved it and so did I.
Had everything we needed. Space outside was great too, so plenty of space for my boys to play. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful break away
We had a wonderful 2 night stay in Hare's view underground house. The view is stunning!
The accommodation had everything we needed and the welcome pack is a lovely touch. The beds were very comfortable and it felt spacious for the 5 of us.
I think the only thing I would change would be the lounge seating area, witt the curve of the house I think a sofa would be nicer for relaxing. Thank you holiday wales for a great stay, we will certainly be back.

Lovely outdoor experience with beautiful surroundings.
We love the beautiful surroundings in the comfort of the hobbit home. The only feedback is the goats that come in a herd and seem pretty hostile. It was not pleasant experience. Thank goodness it was only for one evening.
But overall it was fabulous stay.

Beautiful Weekend Stay
From the moment we arrived, we knew this was the best place for us!
6 of us in Hares View had the most amazing time!
The beds are unbelievably comfy! The shower is beautiful and everything is really really clean!
The hot tub was warm ready for us when we arrived, it was stunning with the most amazing scenery!
We will definitely be returning!
Thank you for a beautiful stay!

A cosy and charming Hobbit hole
My husband and I stayed in the 'Hares View' cottage for our 10th Wedding Anniversary with our two little boys. We were blown away at how idyllic the setting and view were, and how well equipped and laid out the cottage was. As Tolkien fans, we were almost transported to Middle Earth due to how quaint and cosy it was. The hot tub and free waffles were a lovely touch! We'll definitely be back.

Short break for a birthday celebration
The stay was for a surprise birthday treat, my wife was overjoyed and a little overwhelmed, especially with the birthday decorations being put up ready for arrival.
Communication prior to arrival was very professional and helpful.
I opted for a breakfast hamper, which had absolutely lovely produce inside, perfect for anyone arriving late evening. It certainly saves on the last minute shopping, as it's a couple of miles into town, and a good 20 minutes drive archway to larger supermarkets.
Rooms were nice, clean and comfortable.
Hot tub was also a hit with everyone too.

We will be back!
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hare's View Lodge! The breathtaking views are truly captivating and hard to beat, setting the scene for a relaxing or activity-packed getaway—whatever you make of it. The accommodation itself is spacious, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and clearly well looked after.
If I had to mention a minor detail, it’s that the seating area could be a bit more comfortable for a family of four. The corner seating is up against the lodge’s curved walls, so it’s a bit tricky to sit upright. A couple of bean bags or extra seating options would make it perfect, but that’s just me being picky!
Overall, it’s an amazing location that everyone in our group enjoyed—kids, adults, and even the dog! Great value for money, and we’ll absolutely be back (maybe with our own bean bags or camp chairs!).

A little disappointed from a comfort perspective
We really enjoyed our stay at Hare’s View. The accommodation is advertised as sleeping six, but during our visit (with only two of us) it didn’t feel fully equipped to comfortably cater for that number.
A few things we noticed:
- There was no dishwasher or washing machine.
- No dining table, only four stools at the breakfast bar, and a rather uncomfortable wooden bench with thin cushions in the lounge.
- No hanging space or drawers in the bedrooms for clothes, or in the communal areas for coats.
- Some of the kitchen sockets weren’t working.
- The fridge/freezer wasn’t large enough to store much food, so we found ourselves shopping daily. With no larder space for dry goods, we had to use the kitchen surfaces, which reduced food preparation space.
On the positive side, the location and views were fabulous, and it was very well placed for day trips. The hot tub was a lovely addition, although we did notice some black floating bits in the water during use.
We hope you receive this feedback in the positive spirit intended — to help improve what is already a lovely property in a fantastic setting.
Thanks again,
Jacqui

Beautiful and relaxing
Beautiful place and location. I would definitely stay again, my kids and partner also loved it and the hot tub is always a winner for them . I would say tho for the property they should upgrade the seating area to a corner sofa of the similar size for better comfort and esthetics but the current one done the job so wasnt a massive issue or a holiday spoiler. When We were leaving we had a nice surprise from a heard of goats being nosey near the front door which the kids loved and ended the holiday beautifully.

A wonderful stay
We loved our hobbit house stay and made use of the hot tub despite the wet Welsh weather.
Gemma and the team made us welcome and made sure we had all the information we needed.. we will definitely return when we can.

An absolute must place to stay
I highly recommend anyone to stay at Hares View, especially if they fancy somewhere different, fun & quirky. Situated in a picturesque area with unspoiled views for miles. The quaint village of Rhayader is just 2 miles from the site, where there is many shops & places to eat.
The accommodation is completely private, with no one overlooking. Therefore, it is very relaxing when chilling in the hot tub.
We’ll definitely be returning at some point.

Lovely Hobbit Experience
A lovely underground hobbit hole holiday home, with stunning views.
Beautifully presented and clean, highly recommended.
Sofa could do with an upgrade as you can’t sit back due to the roof, (we used the outside patio furniture) and curtains need little hooks to cover side windows. Would benefit from a sign on the entrance so you know you entering the right driveway too.
Overall would love to stay again and try out the other accommodation on site.
