The view was amazing and it was so peaceful and quiet. The hut felt like it was completely in the middle of nowhere but within 30 mins you could be in Rhyader, Builth Wells or Llandrindod Wells. There is also a petrol station with a well stocked shop just 10 mins away. I visited Elan village as well as spending the day up at Claerwyn Reservoir both were great days out and again not far from to go. The bird live was wonderful, I saw woodpeckers, kites, buzzards, goldfinches and swifts from the hut and also saw a couple of redstarts when in the Elan valley. The hut is on a sheep farm so plenty of sheep to see as well as a couple of highland cows. The facilities were good and as you would expect from a small compact space, wifi was brilliant and the bed was really comfortable. For information the fridge is 40L in size, useful to know in advance if bring food with you. I did a click and collect at Tescos in Llandrindod Wells on my arrival journey. Finally I have to say a huge thank you to Alun, the point of contact for the owners. Despite being a very busy farmer he always replied to my questions, and was very approachable and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. As you may be able to tell, I would fully recommend Claerwyn (and Elan) to anyone wanting to get away from it all, in a cosy shepherds hut to enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful Welsh countryside. I canât wait to go back.
