Beautifully furnished with breathtaking views and a hot tub!
During our short stay at Badgers View we were greeted with a beautiful cosey lodge that was fully furnished with breath taking views of the gorgeous countryside. We especially enjoyed the hot tub where we were able to relax and soak in the the amazing scenery. Overall we had an amazing stay and left with amazing memories.

Will return again!!
Beautiful location and stunning views! The hobbit holes are well thought out, fun and cosy. They were so warm inside which I wasn't expecting and the hot tub is a brilliant touch. Plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen had all utensils, beds were comfortable and I absolutely loved the shower!
Would recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful!
Stunning location with beautiful views.
Lovely accommodation and facilities for self catering.
Massive hot tub!
Only downside was the seating in the living room. It didn’t allow us to relax as a family as very clinical but didn’t dampen our stay too much.

Its all about the view!
We stayed in badgers lodge for 2 nights to finish off my 40th birthday celebrations and wow the view and the setting is beautiful.. was just the relax that we all needed.. sitting outside with a cuppa after a long day exploring with the view that u could watch for hours.
Only criticism i would say is the sofa isnt very comfortable.. but honestly it wouldnt put me off going again x

Beautiful property in stunning location
We loved our time at badgers view. The children enjoyed the freedom of running about outside and great we could bring our little dog with us.
Bedding was clean and comfortable, and facilities were great and also clean and tidy.
Hot tub checked daily and kept clean each day for us.
Lovely location with the cows outside and just as peaceful as we wished for.

Perfect family break
Fabulous location, stunning views to wake up to. Comfortable place to stay.
It rained all weekend but the hot tub was perfect to relax in.
Only negative point was the curtains do not fit the windows and my daughter struggled with the outside light coming in.
We will return in the summer months

Magical break in a Hobbit Hole!
Definitely needs to be on everyone's bucket list!! We booked as a surprise for my Dad 80th birthday as he is a life long JRR Tolkien fan! We were not disappointed!! It moved him to tears! The Hobbit Hole itself was comfy, immersive and superbly equipped (the beds are SO comfortable and the shower is luxurious!) As it is on a working farm, the surroundings were fantastic. the views were breath taking and the hot tub and fire pit made for long relaxed evenings - perfect!!!!!!! We honestly could not have found anything better - we all now want to come back for Christmas!!!!! Plenty of room for 5 adults and a dog on Badgers view.

Great Stay Away
Fantastic location and loved the accommodation, however it was very wet and windy when we stayed and there was water dripping through the lights in the kitchen onto our backs when we were eating at the table. One of the bedrooms had water coming through the door making it very damp. It seems maybe it could have done with some TLC to make sure these issues are sorted.

Stunning views and cosy stay
On the whole the stay was great and the setting amazing! We enjoyed the hobbit house and the area very relaxing and peaceful. Great to wake up to birds and great scenery.
Sorry there was a couple negatives.. mould around the doors and windows and there wasn't a way to turn on the heating. The floor was lopsided and it made the bathroom uncomfortable. The windows couldn't be fully blacked out and the outside lights were very bright so made it hard to sleep.
On the whole was great and felt that 2 nights was more than enough to have the full experience. Thank you! Was a nice anniversary get away.

Spectacular
We loved our stay at badgers view. The location and views were spectacular. Holiday Wales provided us with ample information on how best to enjoy our stay, ie. What to do and where to eat in the surrounding area.
The property itself was clean and although there was no fairy liquid and toilet roll on arrival, once we spoke to the onsite administrator this was rectified immediately.
My only advisory to future guests would be to know that there is minimal storage available at this property. Ie. There are no cupboards and drawers. We lived out of our bags and fortunately we only stayed for a few nights or else this would have been overwhelming.
We would definitely come back!!!

Great stay and location
We had a fantastic stay in Gellilas. Brilliant experience being in a hobbit home. The location is superb with loads to do nearby. Inside the home was spotless and made a very good first impression. We did however notice a few points that could easily be rectified and would have made this a more comfortable experience. Firstly the seating bonquette style was extremely uncomfortable and in our opinion totally unnecessary as a corner sofa would have fitted easily. Not only was it uncomfortable we were sticking to the seating, wearing shorts as it was hot weather. Secondly the tv was preset to only have bbc channels available all the other channels were via apps so needed to have logins created, we didn’t feel safe doing this as our details might be seen by future guests. Maybe a company log in would negate this issue. Lastly a number of floorboards had risen or worn which would have the potential to cause a trip/injury.
As we said these are minor issues and did not detract from the time we spent there and it would not stop us from using Holidays Wales or this site again but maybe not Badgers View.

Tired and in need of an update
After looking forward to this unique concept with stunning view we were very disappointed with the very tired and in desperate need of some love property. Toilet seat was filthy and hanging off, floors are extremely tired and wonky, the place smelt of dogs and the bathroom was fusty and damp. Nearly every surface is damaged. The cleaner hadn't done a full clean, crumbs and hairs everywhere, food splashed up the units. Bedding had holes, we stripped the beds to find a mouldy quilt (you have to strip beds an hour before leaving, hot tub gets turned off night before you leave). We would recommend it needs renovation before more customers go in.

Needs a lot of work
The views are stunning, the local town is lovely. The first look of badgers view we were so excited. Then we entered to hut. It didn’t smell clean, the floors were dirty luckily there was a broom there so I could sweep up the last guests dirt. The kitchen is in much need of a make over, the sides are in awful condition, the fridge is cracked, the floor is all over the place, it’s starting to dip. The floor boards are starting to come apart this is due to the damp. The whole kitchen looked dirty. The bedroom with the door on the front was perfectly fine, the other bedroom with the window was fine but the window didn’t open with the key being missing, this is surely an emergency exit hazard. The bedroom with the bunkbeds needed the floors sweeping, the top bunk mattress was miles to small for the bed so there was a pillow put in the gap to cover it. Down the hall was there was a mat covering a whole in the floor, it was felt straight away. The floor through out felt like it was sinking. You can see where the whole hut has sunk by how the doors are now hanging, the cracks up high in the bathroom and hall way. For how much it cost to stay for the weekend it think it’s general maintenance should be kept up. Also there’s no way the hot tub is emptied and refilled between guests. All in all, a bit disappointing with the accommodation but the views and surrounding areas are lovely.
