Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life on a romantic retreat for two humans and one doggo to this idyllic woodland shepherd’s hut. Surrounded by rolling countryside, awesome ambles and paw-friendly pubs and restaurants in the town of Crickhowell (2 miles), there’s plenty to set tails wagging on a stay here.
Split between two handcrafted huts, this quirky space is bursting with thoughtful touches and charm, from the stable door which allows you to look out over the vistas beyond to the thoughtfully furnished kitchen area. Hut number one is home to the pastel-hued bedroom, furnished with a delightful double bed and windows which act as picture frames for the natural beauty surrounding your room. Beside the door is a characterful wood burner to ensure you stay warm and cosy at all times of the year – and offering a perfect spot for a snooze for your hound at the end of a long day. Next door, the second hut has an impressive kitchen set up so that you can cook up a storm during your stay. In addition, you’ll find a surprisingly spacious shower room which will invigorate you each morning. You’ll love stepping outside each morning with your four-legged friend beside your side to sip a morning coffee in the private enclosed garden admiring the 30 acres of farmland which envelopes you.
Challenge yourself and let your dog lead the way to adventure on a hike to the summit of the Sugarloaf (6 miles) and you’ll be rewarded with awe-inspiring views and memories to last a lifetime. Travel 12 miles to Llangorse Lake and you’ll find a whimsical walking trail stretching for around 4 miles. Littered with fascinating flora and fauna as well as an array of sticks to fetch, there’s plenty to keep those on four legs entertained as well as those on two.
