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!
