About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Prancing Moose

Not all hobbits live inside a hill — some live on top, and this is one such house. Immerse yourself in the Welsh Shire, with mountains, woods, and pastures all around.

Rural and peaceful spot where connecting with nature has never been easier. Enjoy the comfort of a quirky cabin in the middle of the countryside, and with an excellent view of the Cambrian mountains.

You won't believe it isn't a genuine Canadian hobbit house! Well, Canadian-inspired, anyway, complete with moose antlers. ***No animals were harmed in the making of this cabin***

The Prancing Moose offers a double bed with two comfy wingback armchairs, a dining table for four, and a kitchenette equipped with a gas cooker and fridge. Cooking essentials (olive oil, salt, pepper, tea, coffee) are provided, along with the necessary kitchenware. A stove top kettle for those all-important cups of tea and coffee. No excuses to skip second breakfast and elevenses!

Heating comes from a wall-mounted electric radiator.

We provide bed linen and towels. We also provide wifi, board games, and books, but there is no TV.

Dogs are welcome!

Please note there is a static caravan behind the cabin, and the parking area will be shared with the caravan guests.

Guests with dogs will be glad to know the area is enclosed and fenced in, but the area includes the static caravan and the caravan guests may have dogs of their own.

Beautiful accommodation. We absolutely loved it! Communication was great, the property was more than we could have hoped for. It’s a very quiet tranquil place to stay. It was warm, everything worked and I would definitely go again. If you’re after something remote and with amazing views I would absolutely recommend this.
