    Incredible location in hidden rolling valley. Beautiful little cabin with everything you need to slow down and connect with nature. The perfect hosts have thought of every detail and keep it all beautifully maintained.

    Nothing comes to mind at all, we really enjoyed it!

    Very cosy, lots of lovely scenery and great walking routes. We were given a very warm welcome from James, (and Perdy!) who showed us where everything was and how to use the facilities. The hut was very clean and welcoming, everything was easy to find and use. Plenty of firewood and kindling/fire starters we’re provided, enough (for us) for the whole weekend. Lots of great areas around the hut for various activities such as the picnic bench was great for crafts and eating dinner outside. Almost everything needed for the stay was provided except things you’d be expected to provide for yourself.

    I wished we had more time off work to stay in the property longer!

    We loved everything about the shepheards hut! From the moment we arrived greeted by the amazing hosts who roomed us and showed us around the stunning property. The location and views are perfect for the countryside and a charming place that we will be returning to! An excellent weekend I recommend to anyone who loves wildlife too. There were 0 faults, you should visit here!!

    Nothing at all.

    Everything! Idyllic location. Many places take cleverly angled pictures to make their property look more secluded.. But this one is exactly what it says! The owners are warm and welcoming as are the resident dogs! It's not glamping as described, but it certainly isn't slumming it either. You have everything you could possibly need. It is a great location to get to places too. We went on our motorbike which is a great way to see the countryside. We can't wait to go back. ☺️☺️☺️

    Nothing could’ve made this stay any more perfect!

    A lovely tranquil hut, located in an equally beautiful area. Everything you need for the perfect escape from busy life, this property is secluded and even comes with two very friendly dogs! We couldn’t recommend it enough - an absolute must for anyone looking to experience this part of Wales in all of its beauty.

    Nothing could have been better.

    I booked this hut as I hoped it would be peaceful and quiet. I was pleasantly surprised as it was perfect in being peaceful, quiet and with beautiful views. everything is simplistic and satisfyingly easy in a rustic way. The hut is comfortable and appears to have the only things you need to get away from the everyday activities of the fast-running world. Take a book or your walking shoes and enjoy the real fresh air of the countryside. I even loved the cute battery powered shower unit. This was just perfectly peaceful and with no one disturbing your time. I will not hesitate to book again.

    Couldn’t really fault this place.

    A perfect rural retreat for a few days, comfy and cosy hut with great insulation. Really nice touches, friendly hosts, their 2 doggo’s and farm animals. Great bbq facilities and everything else you need to make your meals. If you want some time in complete peace and quiet amongst the birds this is your perfect spot.

    Lighting was poor in the toilet, didn’t like the infestation of ladybirds in there, ended up with them inside clothing. Could do with some sort of path (stones?) between the hut and toilet to make it more accessible if the wet, a step into the toilet would help access as well. Door needs repair, couldn’t lock it.

    Lovely location, friendly, helpful owners were on hand, clean and well equipped. Welsh cakes, milk and apple juice were delightful addition. Very peaceful, set in beautiful countryside. Plenty of wood for the fires, comfy bed
