Didn’t disappoint 5/5

I have wanted to come and stay here since I started following Holiday Wales on Instagram during lock down. We stayed for the weekend and had a fabulous time. The property did not disappoint, it is very cute but functional and while there are other properties we were in an end one and it felt very private. it offered everything we needed for the weekend. The information provided before hand gave us ideas for walks and places to eat all of which were lovely. We had an amazing time and would love to come back.

Beautiful stay at Foxes View 4.7/5

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

The views wow 4.2/5

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

A stay at Foxes View 3.5/5

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

Angela Jones | 02 October 2024

Family Break 4.8/5

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.

Denise Swenson | 13 July 2024

Kids loved our stay! 5/5

Excellent thank you - kids and I had a wonderful time - hot tub was lovely, and the view was enlightening

Graham Bell | 29 October 2023

Stunning Views 4/5

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!

Karen Millard | 24 October 2023

Absolutely Breathtaking views 5/5

If you're looking for somewhere to just unwind this is your place, not much around within a short walking distance but we were happy with location

Emma Davies | 07 September 2023

Foxes View 5/5

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.

Carl Harrison | 07 September 2023

Unique stay in beautiful location 4.5/5

We had an amazing group stay in Foxes and Hares view for a long weekend. We had pretty much everything we needed which was lovely. The views surrounding the property are amazing and the local amenities were decent, we would defo come back in future!

Claudia Staelens | 06 September 2023

Idyllic stay 4.8/5

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 .

Kelly Rowling | 29 August 2023

Foxes View 4.8/5

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.

Lindsay Snell | 19 August 2023

Foxes view 4.2/5

Fantastic stay at the Foxes view wow the view was amazing, only things I would change is the garden furniture was a bit wobbly, be nice to have a proper sofa in living area but the seating was comfortable just be more comfortable and bedroom with the patio doors more curtains/ privacy on the side windows .
