Located in the valley of an idyllic hamlet near Llanidloes, with an array of activities, cafes, pubs, restaurants, independent shops and galleries.

After a full day out, snuggle up and embrace the view taking in magnificent sunsets. When it’s time for bed, just close the blinds, pull back the duvet on the king-size bed and enjoy a good night’s sleep.

The setting is beautiful with established borders, trees and this cottage overlooks the river too.

I desperately needed a break somewhere quiet to recharge the batteries. Hidden Hollow did not disappoint. Peaceful, with everything we needed for a wonderful few days. Loved hearing the owls at night and seeing millions of stars. Will be returning in the summer for sure! Thank you to the hosts, who were friendly and helpful.
