Stay in a shepherd's hut in Wales to experience the very best of this remarkable country and get back to nature.
Wales’ landscape is filled with castles, market towns and adventure centres, yet it has always been best-renowned for its remarkable natural beauty.
In the Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons and Eryri / Snowdonia, mountains rise out of the landscape to dominate the horizons, while the coast is scattered with soft-sand beaches and rugged cliffs. Inland, these magnificent features give way to gently rolling fields, rushing rivers and enchanting forests. The only way to truly experience the magic of this unique destination is by spending your days on a shepherd's hut holiday surrounded by nature.
Treat yourself to a stay in a luxury shepherd's hut, pick out a shepherd's hut with a hot tub, or find a dog-friendly shepherd's hut so your four-pawed pup can join you on your next getaway to Wales.
