The Shepherds Hut Retreat

Escape the noise of everyday life and reconnect with nature at this shepherd’s hut, where the Tanat Valley surroundings and nature-filled countryside set the scene for an unforgettable stay together. Set in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains, the shepherd’s hut is perfectly placed for days spent hiking to the summits, while the area’s wonderfully dark skies make evenings just as rewarding.

The dramatic tumbles of the Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall are just 5 miles away. Lake Vyrnwy, considered Wales' most beautiful lake featuring Rhiwargor Waterfall only 8 miles away.

The renowned Eryri National Park, popularly known as the home to Mount Snowdon, is within 20 miles, so you can spend the day trying different Welsh delicacies or exploring the historic market town of Bala, with its watersports opportunities and imposing mountain backdrop. Alternatively, take to the pedals and enjoy an exhilarating ride down the hills of the Revolution Bike Park (5 miles).

This wonderful shepherd's hut is nestled in nature at the top of a field. Park up and follow the 50-metre path to the hut, where you’ll be greeted with a private field and glorious 360-degree countryside views.

Enter inside to discover an open-plan lounge/bedroom that provides a cosy hideaway after bracing hikes in the Tanat Valley. Unwind in the deep chairs with a cup of tea in hand and the wood burner providing a warming atmosphere for nights in.

Settle down for the night in the handmade double bed, with tea-making facilities close by for an easy start to the morning. Outside, a separate shower room and composting WC are located nearby, along with a well-equipped kitchen featuring an electric oven, fridge, microwave and air fryer.

Prepare your meals here, then enjoy them around the foldaway table inside the hut. Retreat to the outdoors where you can bask in your own private hot tub or sip late-night drinks around the picnic table.
