About Celyn

Celyn is a lovely shepherd hut situated halfway between the market town of Dolgellau and coastal town/beach resort of Barmouth. Boasting a private hot tub outdoors alongside a pond with stunning countryside views to admire, this property is perfect for a couple looking to have a romantic getaway.

Walk up the steps to your new holiday abode to be met with everything you need for a self-catered stay. Settle in by sinking into the sofa as you unwind and become accustomed to your new intimate surroundings.

If you’re feeling like a bite to eat, make the most out of the electric oven and hob. Sit at the breakfast bar to enjoy the views out of the window as you enjoy the food that has been prepared.

Take a sweet treat outside from the fridge to have whilst basking in the sun. Pick out some swimwear to have a dip in the hot tub and take in the gorgeous sunset as it golden up your views.

When you get out, dry off, and sit on the furniture by the scenic pond as the stars sparkle in your eyes. Call it a night after one too many yawns and come back inside to have some rest on the double bed.

Wake up to the great scenery from the large window and start your day off with a refreshing shower. A shop and a pub are a short drive away for any essentials or a meal out.

Venture out to The Mawddach Trail for a hike to see some captivating views, check out the South Snowdonia nature preserve or climb up Cader Idris to see the elegant waterfalls on offer. Have a day out on Barmouth beach to soak up any sunshine as the water ripples against your feet, take a stroll along the Barmouth Pier or take on some rock climbing at the Barmouth Slab.

Alison
What a perfect place to stay for a few days rest. Lovely secluded position in beautiful surroundings. Would happily stay there again. Property was immaculately kept and welcome items a lovely touch.
Ceridwen
WOW was our first impression as we saw our accommodation for 3 nights. The outdoor space was beautiful and so peaceful, we enjoyed having breakfast and supper on the decking looking over the pond. The inside of the shepherds hut was finished to such a high standard, from the Joules bedding, leather sofa and soft throws to the most amazing shower. We had everything we needed and would definitely like to holiday here again. Thank you x
Gillian
Spent a wonderful weekend in this lovely shepherds hut. It is nothing short of perfect beautifully furnished, peaceful and felt as though everything within and outside was of the highest standard. We loved the hot tub and the seating area by the pond especially as we were surrounded by emperor dragonflies and all manner of birds. The hut was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could have needed and the welcome food and drinks were very welcome indeed! What a magical place, highly recommend to one and all. The presence of the redoubtable Mrs Lloyd was an added bonus we hadnt anticipated! Thank you.
I would like to say wow! We arrived and we were just shocked at how lovely the hut was and the views we had when sitting outside I couldnt recommend this place enough will certainly be coming back and recommending to friends and family. It was a nice getaway being completely closed of to people and going to sleep at night listening to the water flowing outside. The hut was clean inside and out we were sad to leave the hot tub was really an extra bonus!!
Rachel
Lets start off with wow! First impressions the location is spectacular with the tranquil flow of the nearby river helping to destress instantly. The outside area is so well thought out decking looking over the pond and hot tub is a real treat. Inside the hut is just beautiful. Cosy, comfortable and really well appointed. Our dog, whos quite on the geriatric side, absolutely loved pottering around the garden. Thank you, well be back again
Could not fault a thing, a lovely 3 day break for our Wedding Anniversary
An idyllic setting has been lovingly created here. We loved every minute of our stay. It was everything we wished for. We loved it so much we want to return. Loved our visits each day from Mrs Lloyd the cat! The hot tub was amazing!
A beautiful property in a stunning, private location. The thought and detail put into this Shepherds hut is fantastic all you could need and want in a short break away. Loved every minute of it and didn't want to come home! Would love to visit again.
Perfect spot for a quiet getaway. The setting felt very private and very quiet the property was clean and well maintained. It's is small but had everything we needed for a couple of nights, with a good shower and a comfy bed. For us a huge plus point was that there was livestock fencing surround the garden, which meant our dog could explore and we could relax. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.
Philip
Very tranquil break surrounded by trees and hills. There were buzzards in the sky and butterflies and birds in the trees. Four sheep and three horses lazing in the field opposite. Fish in the little pond and the sound of a river gently flowing. Maybe a teapot and perhaps a microwave would have been useful, but, for a couple in our seventies, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you. Phil and Diane.
This place was fabulous! Loved everything about it. So peaceful, with your only little space in the Welsh countryside. Its beautifully decorated inside and out. Thank you for a great stay.

My actual vacation plans got cancelled so the Shepherd hut was a last minute short get away for myself. The Shepherd hut was perfect. Perfect in every way and the location absolutely stunning. The hut itself is immaculate and there was a nice welcome surprise. It rained most of the time so I did not use the hot tub. That is just one thing out of our control. I was on my own and it was great but for a couple it is ideal if you enjoy peace and quiet it beautiful surroundings. I hopefully will be back. Thank you so much.
Louisa
Well what can i say Gethin and Clare you have created something spectacular. Celyn is truly a special place to stay, it's a fantastic shepards hut with privacy, seclusion and luxury all in one. Perfect for a romantic break with everything you need. We had such wonderful holiday and are looking forward to coming back again very soon.
Absolutely beautiful! Situated perfectly, surrounded by the hills, with its own enclosed garden, perfect for our dog to roam safely. The hut itself has been finished beautifully and is so cosy as well as very clean. Lovely touches such as welcome gifts, complimentary teas, coffee, logs for the hot tub, towels etc. The property is set back and totally private so we could relax in the hot tub in the evening and sit on the veranda looking out onto the pond. We enjoyed waking up to see the sheep and horses in the field, again sitting outside with a morning cuppa before venturing out for a stroll on the nearby Barmouth beach or walking one of the many walks nearby. So peaceful and tranquil, Thankyou for our stay, we will definitely be returning! Our new favourite place!
