Overview
Property code: 42859

Hidden in the heart of the hills, this private nest of beautiful handmade shepherds’ huts provide the ultimate glamping adventure. Relax by the stream or gather around the fire pit in the evenings.

This group of 4 exquisite huts is exclusively yours tucked away in the hills, yet just a run back down the hill into Hay-on-Wye, complete with gorgeous little shops and eateries. A babbling brook, peaceful location and the dramatic expanse of the Brecon Beacons Dark Sky Reserve overhead, this is a perfect retreat to re-connect and get back to nature….or have a little glamping party with your mates!

Located in one of the most spectacular locations in the National Park. Nearby Hay-on-Wye has an exceptionally well supplied yet quaint Thursday morning market, pubs, great independent stores and a world famous book festival each May, and is just a few miles away. The River Wye is far below at the bottom of the mountain, with canoe hire, a great river side cafe, bike, pony and even Vespa hire. For thrill seekers, Black Mountain Activities nearby has a long list of adrenaline-fuelled activities to keep you busy, including gorge walking and high wire ropes. 

This unique accommodation offers 4 shepherds' huts each with a double bed, wood burner (logs included). There is also a very well appointed Utility Hut which includes shower room with shower and WC,  kitchen with wood-fired Esse stove, small fridge, toaster, kettle and sink. Outside guests will find an open fireplace, with large fire pit at one end and BBQ at the other and a large canopied dining table. 

Additional info:electricity is provided by solar panels and wind turbines.

Pedestrian access only to the huts via a step track. Easy to carry bags are recommended but wheelbarrows are provided to transport luggage to and from your hut! 2 dogs welcome, however must be kept on a lead whilst outside.

This is a beautiful, magical and special place, it felt like a total off-grid retreat from the outside world.

A very special retreat set in a wonderful location. The huts were beautifully furnished with very comfy beds. We enjoyed all of this whilst preparing and cooking around the open fire and BBQ. Planning our next trip already!

We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience . The only comment is that there is a rather long and steep walk down to the huts which feels even longer and steeper when walking back Up from the huts.

What an absolutely fantastic place to stay! The walk from the car park to the huts is very steep with a wheelbarrow and some of our party did struggle a bit but it's totally worth it for such a feeling of isolation.
