Hidden Hollow is a quirky turf-covered roundhouse tucked away in Mid Wales, just 3 miles west of Llanidloes. This Hobbit-like retreat sits on a 4-acre smallholding with stunning waterside views and wild gardens. It's like something from a fantasy film, but with underfloor heating and Wi-Fi.

The setting is bloody brilliant. Surrounded by rolling Welsh hills and overlooking a river, you're completely immersed in nature. Private gardens and a wildlife pond make this spot perfect for switching off. Nearby, you can explore the Hafren Boardwalk or visit Clywedog Reservoir. After a day out, crack open a bottle and watch the sunset from your hot tub.

About Hidden Hollow

Hidden Hollow is a quirky turf-covered roundhouse tucked away in Mid Wales, just 3 miles west of Llanidloes. This Hobbit-like retreat sits on a 4-acre smallholding with stunning waterside views and wild gardens. It's like something from a fantasy film, but with underfloor heating and Wi-Fi.

The setting is bloody brilliant. Surrounded by rolling Welsh hills and overlooking a river, you're completely immersed in nature. Private gardens and a wildlife pond make this spot perfect for switching off. Nearby, you can explore the Hafren Boardwalk or visit Clywedog Reservoir. After a day out, crack open a bottle and watch the sunset from your hot tub. Better than therapy and probably cheaper too.

This one-bedroom shepherd's hut sleeps two guests in cosy comfort. Inside, you'll find beautiful décor, a Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker and a compact kitchen with a two-ring hob, microwave and fridge. The bathroom facilities are conveniently located downstairs, perfect for those midnight trips after too much wine.

Llanidloes (3 miles) offers independent shops, cafés and pubs for local exploration. Visit Bryntail Lead Mine Buildings (15 minutes), Elan Valley (30 minutes), or take a day trip to Aberystwyth (45 minutes) for seaside fun. The area's packed with walking trails and cycling routes for outdoor enthusiasts.

Hidden Hollow delivers pure escapism with modern comforts. Perfect for couples seeking romance or solo travelers needing peace. Previous guests rave about the warm welcome (and homemade lemon cake). Don't forget your swimwear for that private hot tub!

Hidden Hollow Reviews

Sarah
We really enjoyed our stay at Hobbit Hollow! The outdoor seating areas were perfect for relaxing and soaking in the natural surroundings. The walk down from the parking was short and lovelyand the riverside seating was a highlight-so peaceful. The fluffy robes were a nice touch, super cosy. The indoor composting loo was surprisingly clean and didn't have any odour, which was great. Overall, a charming spot we'd definitely visit again. Just wish we had stayed longer!

We had such a lovely stay! Booking last minute wasn't a problemand the owners were super helpful. The peaceful sound of the river made it perfect for relaxingand the pond with dragonflies was just magical. The BBQ and sun loungers were great for lounging around, plus the tree swing was a hit. The free-range chickens, friendly dogand even a woodpecker added charm. WiFi was fine on Vodafoneand the starry night views were stunning. Definitely a place to unwind!

We had a lovely stay at this quirky little place. Sharon's introduction was really helpful, showing us around and explaining how everything worked. The sounds of the river and nature made it extra special. It's a perfect spot for exploring nearby attractions. The compost toilet was a bit of a learning curve, but it's no big deal.
