We had a wonderful stay at Lily Shepherds Hut. It was the perfect peaceful and relaxing getaway, surrounded by the beautiful Mid Wales countryside. There is plenty to see and do nearby, including visits to Elan Valley, Devils Bridge Falls, Red Kite Feeding Centre, and the charming market towns. After a day exploring, it was lovely to come back Read moreand unwind in the hot tub, enjoy a BBQ, and relax around the fire pit under the stars-when it wasnt cloudy. The shepherds hut was comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a memorable stay. Our dogs, Max and Alfred, settled in straight away and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The enclosed garden area was perfect for them, giving us peace of mind while they explored safely. A fantastic place to switch off, recharge, and enjoy the best of Mid Wales. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil countryside escape. Hide

Perfect little get away, felt very private in your area, and the secure garden for the dog to run around in. The thought of separation between the fence and the field fence shows the level of thought that went into the design. Definitely booking again for next year.

We had a great week here! The hut had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen, lovely shower, and comfy bed. We made use of the fire pit, BBQ, and were in the hot tub every night. Our 2 dogs loved the big secure garden and we loved waking up to the cows every morning! The location was great for exploring - we visited Rock Park, ElanRead more Valley, Rhayader riverside walk, Pistyll Waterfall, Hafren Forest, Aberystwyth, and Gilfach Nature Reserve - everywhere was stunning.

A beautiful shepherds hut, we spent my husbands birthday here for the weekend and it was just perfect! Very clean, amazing views, it felt very private considering there are other huts around but they honestly felt miles away. Our little pooch very much enjoyed the secure garden too! Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.
