There's nothing better than snuggling up inside on a cold, winter weekend and burrowing down into your duvet as you listen to the rain pitter pattering on your window outside. And this gorgeous underground 'rabbit warren' in Llansantffraid in Powys allows you indulge in just that as you nestle into this human burrow that has been built into the hillside - just like that of a real rabbit's home.
Sleeping five adults and one child, the property allows you to fully immerse yourself in nature and marvel at the incredible views from the comfort of this luxurious hobbit-like home through the distint circular doors and windows that gaze out over the rolling Welsh hills.
With some of its stunning and rustic features including a freestanding outdoor bath, allowing you to soak up the sun in all its glory - and truly be at one with nature - a firepit outside that's perfect for toasting up marshmallows ready to be plopped into a hot chocolate, a breakfast bar, heated floors, impressive BBQ and rounded walls, making for a unique stay, it is a family-friendly retreat with a beautiful twist.

With a beautiful fairytale-esque pathway leading up to the earthbound home, which has wooden and exposed brick walls inside, you can expect to find three bedrooms that include two king size beds - complete with ensuite - and a bunk bed room for a fun and exciting stay for the kiddies.
The living area and kitchen are one and the same and provide a cosy sanctuary on a cold day. While the kitchen comes with the usual - an oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster and kettle - a special touch is that essential items such as bread, butter, jam and more are all provided for. Making it even more delicious , homemade cake is said to be left for guests to tuck into and enjoy when they arrive, to satiate their hunger after a long journey.
Once you've settled in, there are many activities in the surrounding areas to enjoy - if you can bear to tear yourself away from this pretty cute pad. With rolling green hills as far as the eye can see, keen walkers will thrive here. For action seekers, bask in the great outdoors at Rapids Horizons Llangollen, traipse through the Welsh countryside at Ty Mawr Country Park or try it on horseback with Springhill Farm riding Stables. If you are tickled by a spot of history, Chirk and Powys castles are nearby and Oswestry Town Museum is great for local history. It's a fabulous base, too, if coffee spots and great places to eat are your thing.
This accommodation also has a number of neighbouring stays just like this. The Owl Hollow, which can be booked out for up to 10 people in partnership with this one, is perfect for a group stay - plus, dogs are more than welcome but must be kept on a lead outside as the garden is not enclosed.
Prices start from £830 per week. For more information, see the Cool Stays website.
