About Hidden Hollow

Hidden Hollow is a unique turf-covered roundhouse tucked away in a picturesque valley near Llanidloes, Mid Wales. This quirky shepherd's hut sits within a wildflower meadow with private river access and views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with jealousy. The property combines rustic charm with modern comforts - like having your cake and eating it too (speaking of which, many guests mention the tasty welcome cake).

Set in the owner's 4-acre smallholding, you're surrounded by rolling Welsh hills and the soothing sounds of the River Severn. Perfect for stargazing with zero light pollution - you'll see more stars than a Hollywood agent.

This one-bedroom hideaway sleeps two in cosy comfort with underfloor heating and beautiful décor.

Llanidloes town is just 10 minutes away with a Co-op for supplies.

The coastal town of Aberystwyth (38 miles, 1 hour) offers beaches and promenade walks.

Hidden Hollow is ideal for couples seeking a romantic escape. Imagine soaking in the hot tub with a glass of wine, listening to owls hooting as you gaze at millions of stars. This accommodation is basically foreplay with a roof.

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!

Martin

Decent place, but could do with a thorough clean and refresh.

Our stay at Hidden Hollow was just lovely. The hosts were super friendly but respectful of our privacy, which we really appreciated. The spot is so remote, perfect for unwinding without any tech distractions - exactly what we needed. The red book was packed with handy tips for exploring around.

Thanks for a great break, we had an amazing time!

Emma

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. Thanks for the milk, eggsand cake! All in all, a fantastic escape from the hustle, would definitely recommend!
