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

This place really is a hidden gem with excellent hosts. It's set right by Skirrid Fawr which is a great hike to the top with an amazing view. The facilities are amazing. Although I didn't use the jacuzzi, the sauna became part of my morning ritual. The hammock and many other seating options made chilling out in the mornings and evening very comfortRead moreable. Overall a brilliant stay and we'll definitely be going back. Hide

Perfect for a little get away to recharge the batteries. Located in a peaceful area though the early morning sheep calls from the neighbouring field took some getting used to. Had all you needed for a relaxing break.

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.
