Enjoying an enviable location at the foot of the Skirrid, this beautifully hand crafted shepherds hut has a private hot tub, sauna, outside shower and fire pit, just perfect for those looking for a little adventure.

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

I spent 3 nights here recently and wanted to get away from it all and relax and wind down. It did it's job! The hut and everything with it was of high standard. Mike & Tracey are both welcoming and supportive if you need any help. And highly recommend the Cafe!

I knew I needed a break away from it all! The Skirrid Bolt Hole proved to be just what was needed. A lovely peaceful place, with the facilities and people that made it a perfectly relaxed break. We had the delightful pleasure of meeting John, the brother of the owner. Nothing was too much trouble. The Bolt Hole was clean and well equipped with all Read morethat was needed. We would recommend it and would come back and stay in one of the Shepherd Huts! It was a wonderful break away from home. Thank you Hide
