Foxes View – A Unique Underground Escape in Mid Wales
Discover something truly magical at Foxes View, a charming and quirky underground house nestled into the hillside of Mid Wales. With panoramic countryside views right from your doorstep, this cosy hideaway offers an unforgettable stay for couples, families, or small groups looking to make lasting memories.

Step through the distinctive circular front door and into a beautifully designed open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. The curved architecture and oval windows flood the space with natural light while offering glimpses of the breathtaking valley below – giving this home its unmistakable character and warmth.

The well-equipped kitchen includes an oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, and fridge with freezer – perfect for preparing your favourite meals. Gather around the spacious dining area with high stools to enjoy dinner together or dive into a family board game as the evening rolls in.

Sleeping up to six guests, Foxes View features two elegant king-sized bedrooms and a snug bunk room. The king room with patio access is a guest favourite – just steps from the hot tub and ideal for relaxed mornings or starlit dips. All bedrooms are dressed in fresh, crisp linens for a restful and cosy night's sleep.

Outside is where this property truly shines. Your private patio offers a luxurious hot tub, outdoor dining furniture, and a fire pit – perfect for toasting marshmallows or simply unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills.

Perfectly located near the lively market town of Rhayader, you'll be just a short drive from local eateries, Red Kite feeding stations, the spectacular Elan Valley, and the tranquil Gilfach Nature Reserve – all waiting to be explored.

A wonderful place to stay

This was the perfect place for the quiet getaway we were looking for. The view was amazing and the space felt very private. The accommodation was lovely and had all the amenities you would need. We will definitely come back

Fab family break

We've just got back from a fabulous family break in the foxes view underground house. We loved the house, especially the hot tub! Great location for going on some lovely walks, my 5 year old particularly loved the walk to the dam. Thank you for a fantastic experience, we'll definitely be going back.

Beautiful

We stayed in Foxes view which was absolutely beautiful. They view was stunning especially seeing the highland cows and calf’s. Nothing was to much and anything we asked about or any issues were felt with straight away. My two little ones loved watching the cows, sheep and red kites every morning and every evening and loved the hot tub. Although you think your close to the other hobbit houses you not thanks to grass verges and bushes giving you a complete private feel. We will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely time staying here

A lovely unique place to stay. We had such a nice time and took our bullmastiff with us. He loved it!! The only bits of feedback we had was the sofa was uncomfortable and hard to get cosy on (but we understand the design) and parts of the accommodation were looking abit tired and could do with a bit of tlc. We will be recommending you to friends and family and will try and come again on the future! Thank you!

2-day break

Lovely stay, with amazing views! Foxes view had everything we need for our 2-day break. The only thing which was disappointing (nothing to do with the actual property) was that whilst walking around the site, there was a lot of rubbish waste like microwave/kettle boxes, recycling rubbish, old cabinets, fridge/freezers which some looked like they had been set fire too.

Beautiful Location and a Unique Stay

We came to stay at Foxes View to celebrate my friend's 40th Birthday. Safe to say we were blown away by the accommodation and the view! The perfect quirky place to stay with the added bonus of Highland Cows. We had a slight issue with the jacuzzi on the first night, but the owners were really helpful and quick to sort it out. Great location, very close to the beautiful Elan Valley. We'll definitely be back!

Family Break

Perfect relaxing stay, amazing location away from it all Only slight negative was that the sofa could have been a bit more comfortable but didn't distract from our stay. Already looking to come back.

Spring Stay at Foxes View

We had a lovely 2 night stay in Foxes View with our dog and toddler. The hobbit house was immaculate, with stunning views, in a peaceful and serene location. Unfortunately there were some repairs being undertaken to the wall during our visit, with workmen and scaffolding in view which is reflected in the scores. Aside from that our only comment would be to add black out curtains, or at least privacy curtains in the double room, to the windows beside the patio doors. Overall though we loved our stay and would definitely recommend/like to return.

Idyllic stay

We have just returned from an amazing three night stay at Foxes View . The views as you drive to your property are truly amazing . The property itself is fantastic with fabulous views from all windows especially the bedroom . Waking up each morning was a pleasure . The Hobbit House is well equipped for a self catering stay . I would definitely recommend a stay here and we can’t wait to return .

Foxes View

This was a fantastic place for our little getaway. The property was really nice and had everything we needed. The kids loved it as it looked like a hobbit house……so did we, our own little slice of the shire. The views are stunning and it’s so peaceful, spent the evenings around the fire pit toasting marshmallows and star gazing. Lovely family break and we’ll definitely be back.

Foxes View

Foxes View in my opinion has the best view and privacy of the site, the rooms are spacious and clean. The hot tub was a great win with the kids. Close to the village for any food and great take outs. Communication was good with the Company. Highly recommend.

Stunning Views

Our three night stay here was just perfect! Cute accommodation with spectacular views - we stayed in Foxes View which was lovely and cosy. My only negative is the seating in the communal area - not relaxing at all due to them being benches with a plastic cushion - unable to get comfy on them! My daughter stayed in a newer one (Burrows View) which was much more updated and modern. Five minute drive to the little high street which has everything you need - pubs - co-op and really nice restaurant! Overall - a lovely stay, would return and recommend!

BBQ with visiting Goat family

Enjoyed out long awaited stay in a hobbit home, after staying twice before in two different Shepherds Huts (Shepherds View and Ivys Way). Views are heavenly and so peaceful, just what the doctor ordered. The neighbours were very friendly when they visited us twice and an added level of excitement for my other-in-law :). Accommodation is suitable for 4 adults and 2 children, but if full capacity, would be good to have an additional toilet/shower room. Kitchen was fully kitted out with everything we needed. Lounge was a good size, but location of tv limited use once once couple had gone to bed or had a lie-in. Bench Sofa's were not overly comfortable but as we had gorgeous weather we were outside majority of the time. Two double bedrooms comfortable but would be good to have some clothing storage of some kind. As we didnt have any small people we used the bunk room for this.

The views wow

Foxes view was clean and warm views were 10/10 wow But…Paid to check in early (2pm) and after arriving 1 hour early after travelling for a couple of hours with a disabled child received a phone call telling me to leave the property and return in a hour nothing was different when we returned so I didn’t see the problem in going in 1 hour early the seating area was so uncomfortable I’ve sat on comfier benches and the beds were about the same woke everyday with aches and pains.. also needs a little maintenance brick work etc Seating and beds can be changed so hopefully will make it a more relaxing experience

Beautiful stay at Foxes View

We had a wonderful stay as a couple with a dog. The place is perfectly located and well equipped. So quirky and novel. The beds are comfy and shower is good. We enjoyed the hot tub, just wish we’d bought kindling for the fire pit! Word of wisdom- bring cash for takeaways! We thought we’d be able to order something via justeat - struggled with this and then the takeaways on the email seem to be cash on delivery only. We’d already had a drink by this point so missed out on dinner, our fault for not thinking of this but will know for next time. Only slight criticism, like others have mentioned, is the sofa is practical but not very comfy for evening chill. This won’t stop us returning though, and we’ve just booked again for February, to bring our son and mother along to see this gorgeous part of Wales

A stay at Foxes View

We looked forward to our stay at Foxes View. We arrived in stormy weather but the accommodation was warm and comfortable. The first night we used the hot tub and the lighting by the bedroom door and round the hot tub was not working. We advised the hosts, who said they would sort. On second night, still no lights working and there were so many chemicals in hot tub we could not use, our eyes were streaming and we were worried it was dangerous. On leaving mentioned the problems to hosts, who quite frankly did not seem too bothered that this had ruined our stay here! We picked the property as it had a hot tub. SO DISAPPOINTING
