Beacons Hot Tub Retreat Reviews

Amy
Really nice stay away. Host was really lovely and accommodating to us. Nice to get away from reality for a few days and plenty of places to take our dogs for a walk. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a little getaway trip. Was nice to be without signal to just enjoy and take it all in.
Liz
A lovely Shepherds Hut, perfect for 2 and your dog. Amazing hot tub and a never-ending supply of logs to keep the tub, log burner and bbq going. Simply equiped for cooking (2 rings and a microwave). WiFi interesting! Happy to recommend and would book again.
Karen
A lovely, cute hut. We had a lovely time. The bed is so comfy. The setting is lovely too. If you want peace, this is it. We loved the fact that we were shut off from the world - no mobile signal and no TV. You can get mobile signal outside the hut if that is important to you. The doggies enjoyed the outdoor area - it isn't big but enough to mooch. Read moreWe just relaxed the whole time. Unfortunately, the weather was bad so we did not get the chance to use the hot tub, but I'm sure it is lovely. Hide
Louise
An absolutely lovely little retreat in a beautiful area of Wales. The hosts were absolutely amazing and so helpful.

Carol
The Beacons hot tub retreat was quaint, secluded, cosy and peaceful. My husband, our dog Crystal and I stayed for one week end of August, even though the weather was not great we had an amazing time, especially relaxing in the hot tub after exploring.
Heather
Lovely wee shepherd's hut with everything you need for your break. Located on an Equestrian yard but not overlooked, very private with beautiful view of the countryside, good base for exploring the Brecon Beacons and Carmarthenshire. Nice enclosed space for the dogs to roam at the hut too. Wood fired hot tub is very relaxing after a long day explor ing. It does take roughly 4hrs for it to warm up but well worth it. Hosts, Penny and Tim were very nice and made us feel very welcome.
Lucy
Lovely little hut, great hot tub bit tricky to light sometimes but definitely worth it! Gorgeous view and location
Juliet
Had a lovey week at the hot tub retreat. Very quiet, peaceful and a great base for exploring. Our dogs loved it too. The owners Penny and Tim are lovely helpful people. Would definitely recommend.
Nicola
Really nice place if your looking for a quiet break away from the modern world this is the place the views are amazing and it's very quiet not far from nice walks and scenic views. Penny and Tim were fantastic hosts. In the Hot tub at night looking at the stars is perfect relaxation.
Amanda
Fantastic 4 night stay here on 29.06.23. The hut was clean and cozy. Perfect little getaway for myself,husband and our 2 dogs. The welcome pack on dining table came in great use. The owners were lovely and very helpful. The hut is set just on the outskirts of an esquestrian centre and is hidden out of the way so feels very private with some beautif ul views. We used the hot tub only once .You really do need to be generous with logs to get it to a good heat. Loved our time here Lots to see locally
Ella
Cosy shepherds hut but big enough to accommodate us and 3 medium sized dogs. Great to be able to relax knowing the dogs were safe in the fenced garden. Lovely views and walks near by if you can find the footpaths. Maps were provided in the hut. 5 mins from a small town with take aways and a Co op. The hut has a microwave and double electric hob. Fr iendly welcome from the owner. V peaceful location. Wood fired hot tub worth the effort and still warm the next morning.
Sarah

Wow - such a beautiful place to escape life. Loved the walks, log fire , hot tub and the quietness. We ventured to carreg cennen castle which was a lovely walk. Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay.
Reena
Beautiful secluded stay. If you want to be completely off grid, this is the place to stay. No WiFi, minimal phone signalno distractions. We took out three dogs, outside area is secure for the dogs to roam without worry. Decking is perfect for alfresco dining. The hot tub takes work, but is worth the effort. Penny and Tim were very helpful with rect ifying a couple of minor issues we had. The hut is very well equipped, would highly recommend.
Laura
Beautiful shepherd's hut equipped with everything we needed. The little log burner was effective at keeping us warm and cosy even in winter. The private and secure area around the hut and hot tub were perfect for our dogs too. We loved our stay.
Kirstey
Beautiful cosy hut with everything you need. No TV or oven but neither a particular problem, they weren't missed. We will definitely be back.
Stephanie
Lovely shepherd's hut. Beautiful location and plenty of walks nearby. Our 3 dogs loved it.
David
Had such a lovely stay, Tim and Penny were great. Hot tub was lovely once we got it up to temperature. Really relaxing place to stay.
Denis
Enjoyable stay at the very comfortable, cozy shepherds hut!! Took our 8 week old baby with us, plenty warm enough with the little log burner!! The hot tub was lovely despite taking ages to warm up initially it kept its temperature once warmed up. There was combined training there while we stayed and was able to go and watch which bring an equestria n was a bonus. Shops were nice and local, went for a drive too, popped into franks icecream which was delicious! Not far from the site.
Kate
Very homely and everything we needed. Really relaxing atmosphere.
Gail
Lovely shepherds hut cleverly laid out with really good use of space. The log fired hot tub was amazing especially after a full days walking. Everyone in the local area were very friendly and Penny & Tim made us very welcome & made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay fantastic.
Tom
Very Cosy . Great location. Penny and Tim are excellent hosts.
Tracey
The hot tub was beautiful there's everything you need. The shops super market a 5 minute drive. The takeaways are freshly cooked. And the views are to die for.
Grace
Lovely location, very cute shepherds hut! Wood fired hot tub was a giggle to get going one afternoon, not as relaxing as a regular plumbed in jacuzzi but pretty fun. My dog loved the little garden and theres some lovely touches in the hut.
Andy
The Shepherds hut is very compact but provided clever storage for all our belongings. The secure fenced area around it means the dog could safely be free. The views are stunning and the front of the property gets the sun all day. A real gem of a place to escape to.
Sharon
Amazing escape from our busy lives.
Victoria
We stayed here for four nights on our mini-moon and it was perfect location. With three dogs to keep an eye on the fact that the garden is enclosed is a godsend. The cabin itself is cosy but, even with three large dogs, plenty spacious enough for us. Beautiful view over the fields and lovely hosts. Will definitely be coming back
Jess
We had a wonderful long weekend at the Cabin. The view is amazing and Penny and Tim were so friendly and helpful. Great location for exploring the Welsh countryside and only an hour from the coast. We cant wait to stay again.
Sue
We enjoyed a lovley relaxing break the log burner was the best
Neisha
Beautiful hut, we loved every minute of our stay! The owners we very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed through out our stay. The hot tub was lovely. There is no oven so bare that in mind, there is also no signal in the hut and is limited outside too, it was nice to be able to switch off from our phones. Would highly recommend staying here
Antonia
What an absolute pleasure it was to stay here. We booked 3 nights for our anniversary and it was the perfect 3 nights. Our dog was safely enclosed in the hut area which was superb to allow us to relax, we managed to get the hot tub HOT! So how you could have dropped a teabag in there and had a giant brew! Hot tub is huge and once up to temperature is easy to keep ! Had beautiful evenings laying in it watching the shooting stars! Hut is clean, tidy and plenty of space. Absolutely 12/10
Iglika
We stayed two nights and watched the most amazing sunrise both mornings. Very cosy place and had everything we needed. The hot tub takes a very long time to heat especially on a cold March day, I c as n imagine itll be much more enjoyable experience in the summer.
Jonathan
Gorgeous place and would be amazing with a few little changes
