Lose yourselves in magical views out over the picturesque Brecon Beacons National Park when you stay at this exquisite Shepherd’s Hut near Llandyfan, less than 5 miles from Llandeilo in Wales. Sleeping two guests, and also welcoming up to three of their four-legged friends with open paws, this bijou holiday homes makes an idyllic, romantic retreat.
