We had a lovely relaxing break at the Shepherd's Cwtch, just what we expected. Lovely little personal touches from the hosts and an idyllic setting. Views are spectacular.
It was a lovely relaxing and quiet place to stay, the hot tub was clean and well maintained and there were no issues with our stay. It was secure for our dog. We would go again
Tristan

Daniel
Amazing stay and fantastic views and location. Lovely hospitality and would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to stay somewhere nice and relaxing.
Beautiful scenery, extremely comfortable bed & sofa. Snacks & wine provided were thoughtful & tasty. Very welcoming & so clean, hot tub views were spectacular! Would definitely book again! Only little thing was the tv didnt work but with the WiFi provided, which you normally dont get in some holiday lodges, it wasnt a problem for us as we could watch the evening programs on our phones.

Lovely friendly owners Sarah & Mark, who made us very welcome on our arrival. Shepherd's hut is the perfect stay if you are looking for a peaceful holiday. Lots of places to visit in the surrounding areas, views from the hut on a sunny day are wonderful along with sitings of Red Kites.
Macauly
Perfect little spot, can't fault anything, my partner loved the lambs don't change anything
We were blown away by this place. The view is exceptional, facilities top on the range and the host extremely friendly and accommodating. We will go back again and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Claire
Lovely little shepherds hut, great for a quiet break. Views are fantastic and it's so peaceful. Hot tub was brilliant for relaxing. It was a little cold when we first got there but soon warms up. Had a lovely welcome pack and Jett out GSD loved her treats too. Town is about a 5 minute drive away and only small but good pubs and takeaways in the area for food.
Kathryn
Fantastic hosts and accommodation surrounded by the natural beauty only Wales can provide. So relaxing, perfect getaway for both us and our fourlegged friends!
Blissful breakaway, absolutely loved it. Perfectly cosy hut for a few days away with my partner and the dog. Stunning views by day, starry skies by night. Highlight was the cattle coming over to the fence to watch us relaxing in the hot tub! We were the first official guests, and the extremely friendly hosts were very keen to hear our feedback and suggestions. Totally recommend...
