Nestled at the foot of the Skirrid, on the eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley. It is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and relax in the great Welsh outdoors. The area is also steeped in history with some of Europe’s finest surviving castles, Abergavenny Castle set against the spectacular hills and Crickhowell Castle, a prominent feature within a small market town, or if you want more of an adventure try canoeing or kayaking on the River Wye. The area is also host to a vibrant events calendar to include Usk show and Abergavenny food festival.

Take in the stunning views across the Skirrid and surrounding mountain ranges before you step up onto the terrace of this hand crafted shepherds hut. This wooden hut beautifully finished with hard wood windows and doors, offers luxurious glamping living, with the extra bonus of under floor heating for the cooler months. Inside the front door you will find a living area with lounge/kitchen/diner and sleeping area with a wood burner to snuggle up in front of after a day exploring the area. The lounge area has chairs where you can relax and listen to music on the radio, or watch a film on the smart TV, along with a small table and chairs for a simple supper for two. The kitchen area has a gas hob, fridge and kettle. In the evening snuggle up in the comfy double bed and look out at the stars. You will also find a shower room with a shower and WC.

Outside you can enjoy the enclosed landscaped garden, where there is a private hot tub for two with cover, a luxurious multi-jet shower and a sauna, perfect for relaxing after a strenuous day of walking.

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.

Superb location. The walk up Skirrid just over the read was well worth the effort with fantastic views. Dinner ten minutes walk to the Walnut Tree was amazing. Never done a shepherds hut holiday before and absolutely loved it. Beautifully appointed. Hot tub and sauna as well as outside amenities all lovely. Hardly saw our neighbours and it was peacRead moreeful. We were lucky with the weather but there is plenty to do in the area. Big Pit was fantastic! Hide
