This property, set in an idyllic location with many trails nearby for walkers and cyclists, is ideal for couples and one treasured four-legged friend looking for a peaceful retreat. The picturesque Wye Valley and rugged Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park are within easy reach, where you can also explore the ancient oak woodlands of the Forest of Dean (14 miles). Closer to home, let four paws sniff out an adventure at historic Raglan Castle (6 miles) or Harold’s Stones (4 miles).
This gorgeous shepherd’s hut, enjoying a slightly elevated position at the edge of the apple orchard, offers a wonderful nature experience where you can enjoy the sun setting over the Welsh mountains and you are happy to be self-sufficient and slightly off-grid (there is a composting WC). Step inside and take in the calming decor and fresh feel. There is a clever use of the open-plan space, including a cosy wood burner to keep you and your pup snug and warm. The built-in kitchen has enough appliances to rustle up a romantic dinner to share at the fold-away table or outside on fine evenings. There is seating for two where you and can relax. A built-in double bed and shower room complete the features. Outside on the decked area is a table and chairs. There is a fire pit for cooler evenings to toast marshmallows and keep your pup warm while you go stargazing.
The Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park is 15 miles away and perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking adventures.
