The owners are extremely helpful, it was an education for me to learn more about climate change, having an informative hand book that provides you with lots of advice and tips on blending into the environment, leaving things as we find them, leaving no footprints, and the efforts that the owners go to to make sure they are economically greener with an emphasis on biodegradable products and immaculate grounds. There is a small greenhouse where you can find lots of different vegetables and herbs growing and some plants are for sale too! When we arrived, the owners provided us with a bouquet of roses and chocolates, local specialty cheese & biscuits to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Zero light pollution = great for anyone who likes to watch the amazing array of Birds that live here. This is our 2nd visit to Wild Valley Huts, we stayed in Red Kite in June and just returned from an amazing week of pure relaxation, staying at Cuckoo. So many points of interest, we enjoyed Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall, 240ft mountain waterfall, with a tea room. Wild Valley Huts nearest village is Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant 2.5 mls down hill. The Village Square has all the essential facilities you will need to make your stay more comfortable with an award winning Butchers, post office, spar and craft shop, indian takeout and 2 public houses, one with an open fire, while the other does food too! The Fish & Chip shop is extremely popular and we enjoyed our hot chips and curry sauce after cool days walking and exploring. I would highly recommend you stay here if you want to get away and enjoy the nature and wildlife in abundance.
