HOT TUB | PET FRIENDLY | PARKING | FIRE PIT | VIEWS

Overview of Burrow View, Underground House ..
If you are looking for a quirky, luxury and everything else in between property suitable for a couple or family, then look no further.

Burrow View is designed and presented to the highest of standards, the use of earthy tones throughout really does allow you to immerse yourself in nature and take in the spectacular view down the valley whatever the weather.

As you arrive at the property from the drive you will be greeted with the exceptional outdoor space, a large patio area that hosts a private hot tub, fire pit, outdoor seating for alfresco dining and the added outdoor kitchen area, perfect for bringing along your own BBQ and cooking with a view What makes this area so special is without a doubt the panoramic views to the front, rolling hills, green trees, blue skies and if your lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them, the Highland Cattle that reside at the site.

When entering the property you will recognise the oval walls, a tell tale sign that you will be enjoying a stay in an ever popular Underground House. Being an open plan property the space inside has really been maximised. The fully equipped kitchen comes complete with oven, hobs, microwave, kettle & fridge/freezer. The Belfast sink with stylish gold tap that sits on the grey units really does add that extra character to the kitchen. In this area you will also find the delightful, velour olive coloured sofa, the perfect place for relaxing and as it adds a pop of colour with its orange cushions this really does accentuate the thought that has gone into this interior. Now, the dining area really is the icing on the cake when it comes to this area, located at the front of the property, a hand made wooden breakfast bar graces the bi-folding door, on a beautiful sunny day pull back the glass doors to dine with not only the one of the best views Mid Wales has to offer but also the fresh air too! Illuminated by two pendant light bulbs, this section is another of the many highlights Burrow View has to offer.

This property accommodates up to two adults and two children in one King size bed and a bunk bed to the rear of the property. Nestle under the crisp, white bedding for that much needed early night after a day of exploring or that lie in with breakfast in bed. To the back of the property you will find the bunk bed, with a double bed on the upper bunk and single bed on the lower bunk this ensures plenty of space for a family of up to four.

In the shower room you will find a walk in shower with a charming slate base, free-standing wash basin with illuminating mirror, flushing WC and heated towel rail.

Located in an excellent area, whether you are looking for a relaxing stay at the property or to explore the locality there are lots of things to see and do! Rhayader, a quaint market town is just a mere 2 miles down the road, you will find places to eat and relax in as well as local shops to browse around. Elan Valley and Gilfach Nature Reserve are also just a stones throw away, the perfect places to explore, walk, relax and taking in the rural Welsh air.

Up to two dogs welcome but must be kept off the furniture and on a lead when outside.

A Peaceful and Unique Stay

We recently stayed at Burrow View in Wales and had a very enjoyable experience. The underground house was unique and offered beautiful surroundings, with views over fields full of sheep and highland cows. We even had a few visits from the farm’s goats, which roam freely and added to the charm. After spending the day walking, sitting in the hot tub and taking in the views was peaceful and very relaxing. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well presented. If I had to mention any minor issues, it would be that there was no storage for clothing, and there was only one mirror in the property. This made getting ready to go out a little slow, and my wife had nowhere suitable to sit and dry her hair. The only major drawback for us was the loud fan that runs constantly. During the day this was not a problem, but at night it made it difficult to sleep, especially for a light sleeper. As we only stayed for two nights, it was manageable, but a longer stay could have made this more of an issue. Overall, despite these small points, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the peaceful location and unique experience that Burrow View offers.

Fantastic stay

What a place! Not only is it set in a beautiful hillside but it was also spotlessly clean and so functional. It had everything we needed for cooking. My only con was the fan that’s on permanently. I’m a light sleeper so haven’t slept for 4 nights however that did not detract from the stunning place and lodge! Would definitely visit again.

Great place. Great location.

Amazing location with some stunning views. Location was great for us, with the town just 5 mins away in the car for the shops or a pub lunch. And then Elan Valley 10 mins drive away too. If you had a bike you could centre yourself here and have some amazing rides. Only slight downside was the airflow fan in the hut was constantly running and it was very loud so sleeping was not easy, luckily I had ear plugs. But all in all an amazing place and a credit to the owners.

Great few days away

Great few days away, clean and a great location. It stated on the email that we would be supplied with washing up liquid but we were not and the round sky light in the roof could do with a blind to stop the sun beaming down on you in the morning waking you up but apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed our few days away

Excellent location but needs extras

We enjoyed our time at burrow view mostly as the location is perfect. The house itself was slightly disappointing. A few issues that need changing to make this amazing. More hooks, lack of hanging space for coats, wet towels etc. radiator in bathroom too small for lots of towels. Needs a shelf too in the bathroom . After 3 days of messy floors from boots, dogs etc the floor was horrible, happy to clean it but needs a supply of a broom! The fan noise was absolutely awful, no way of turning it off? Having messaged the number provided no one responded. 3 nights of noise with crap sleep we were happy to leave. This is a lovely house but has issues that need fixing. Wet towels create damp and the smell of damp especially in the bathroom was overwhelming. Would stay again but needs improvement.

Burrow view

Our stay at the Burrow view was perfect. We had a lovely view, looking out at the cows in the field and goats walking by. We could walk our dog around the farm and take in the views. Plenty of space inside on a rainy day and use of the hot tub was a bonus.

Lovely Hobbit Hole

Stayed here for several days with our two dogs and had a great time. Look out for the Pygmy goats wandering loose. Very cute but one of our dogs was petrified of them and spent a lot of time hiding in the shower room. Site service was ok…..a corkscrew was forthcoming when we found there was not one in the property but a hairdryer was not. Minor matters that did not impact on the pleasure of our stay.

Great stay!

Amazing stay! Just what we needed, I have already recommended to all our family and friends. The only fault I can find is that we did not stay longer. We are already looking to book for next year to bring the children.

Burrow view was amazing , it had everything you would need so could pack light , we went with our 3 year old and 6 month old and it was perfect , we all loved watching the animals from our window and having a little daily walk over to see them , the booking was so easy , I don’t think I pressed confirm when requesting a high chair and cot but as soon as we arrived I rang up and they were driven up to up within minutes - Top service - we loved it here that much that we booked another stay whilst still there which we can’t wait for

Amazing stay!

We had the most amazing stay. The property was spacious, lovely decor, comfortable bed, modern bathroom and everything you need for a relaxing stay. The views are stunning and it is so peaceful. Especially while sat in the hot tub. The extra hampers we ordered were a lovely touch (everything was so fresh) We will definitely be returning and recommend this property to anyone wanting a peaceful break.

What an idyllic stay!

Fantastic location, beautiful views and everything you need inside. Mattresses super comfy too! It was a lovely bonus of being able to order a hamper as a treat - this was delivered quite later but the team kept in touch and let us know. The only think I’d suggest for improvement is to provide hand rails to assist climbing to the top bunk. Our youngest who is almost 8, couldn’t manage to get up / down independently. Handles to provide more stability would be that one extra touch to help. We would definitely return here again! An extra treat was the ever active sky, with Red Kites constantly circling - stunning to watch! Thank you Burrows View!!

Lovely place for a weekend away!

Burrow View was the perfect place for a weekend away with my boyfriend! The place was easy to find and tucked away in a beautiful location, with many lovely walks only a short drive away. The area was incredibly peaceful which was great when enjoying ourselves outside in the hot tub. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family!

Get away from it all

Amazing place to escape to in the middle of wales. Such an easy escape, the house is lovely and clean and has everything you need. Kids loved walking on top of the house and going in the hot tub. The view is stunning and you get to wake up to it every day. Can’t wait to go back.

February in a Hobbit hole

I took my two 14 year old boys away for a half term break and despite the weather we had a great stay at Burrow View. It was really cosy and welcoming and the view from the hot tub was great. The information about the local amenities was super helpful, just to note the Turkish takeaway is cash only. The Elan Valley is amazing for walking and we saw the Red Kites being fed at Gigrin Farm which was stunning.

My partner and I went for a birthday treat this weekend! We only stayed for 1 night but we had the most relaxing night here! We also used the hot tub which was amazing. The burrow is out this world, it really is luxury. We would definitely recommend and would 100% return :)

Stunning

The views and location are just out of this world. Could do with a sigh to say holidays wales on the road side and signposts to where you are saying. However the burrow itself was lovely so fun and the kids loved it. Could do with more variation and heating as condensation was dripping off the skylight on to the bed. Jacuzzi was brilliant watching the sunset and the view was just stunning. The jacuzzi however was very cloudy and scum level all around the edges which was disappointing. Would like to come back in the summer as we did enjoy the stay.
