Cuddle up and forget the world in this gorgeously hand-crafted shepherds hut. Tucked at the foot of the Skirrid Mountain, this wonderful bolthole is surrounded by a land of fairy-tale beauty. Perfect for couples looking to escape the rhythm of everyday life for a while, you can explore the rolling countryside and the dramatic scenery of the Black Mountains. Later, return to your delightful hideaway and take a dip in the bubbling hot tub or sauna as the light begins to fade.

Compact yet spacious, cosy with modern touches, this wooden hut has been carefully and lovingly crafted to create the ultimate retreat. Traditionally styled and complemented with plush furnishings, the open-plan layout includes a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. Curl up by the wood burner after a day’s exploring and listen to the happy crackle of logs and enjoy the rosy glow. As day turns to night, lay back in the embrace of the hut’s luscious double bed and watch stars twinkle in the night sky outside.

There’s nothing like lungfuls of mountain air to cleanse the mind and heal the body, and this bolthole provides access to some of Wales’ most beautiful scenery. Just across the road, you can start your walk up Skirrid Mountain and take in endless views of the valley. All around there are countless options for walks in the country, so get ready to lace up your walking boots. 12.5 miles away, Raglan Castle provides a gateway into a world of myths and legends, and just 3 miles away Abergavenny Castle and Museum is a fascinating day trip. In Abergavenny town, you will find an abundance of eateries and shops to pick up some treats

Really lovely little hut to disappear to for a relaxing break! Would definitely recommend a stay here, it is quiet and you can just relax in your own little patio area or relax in the hot tub. Did not get chance to try the sauna as the weather was so lovely when we stayed but we would definitely consider coming back for another holiday.

It is 5 minutes drive from location shop and you have everything around to get if you forget to bring food or anything that you will be eating & I dive 55 minutes to get halal meat but overall it is a really nice place to be .

Superb location. The walk up Skirrid just over the read was well worth the effort with fantastic views. Dinner ten minutes walk to the Walnut Tree was amazing. Never done a shepherds hut holiday before and absolutely loved it. Beautifully appointed. Hot tub and sauna as well as outside amenities all lovely. Hardly saw our neighbours and it was peacRead moreeful. We were lucky with the weather but there is plenty to do in the area. Big Pit was fantastic! Hide
