    It was very idyllic and a beautiful setting with lovely views of the Welsh hills. One thing to flag to other dog owners is that the property on a working farm and in a field which cows and sheep graze in. This wasn’t a problem for us and we enjoyed having the livestock so close. Although the property is enclosed with a fence, small & medium dogs can easily get through the part of the fence that separates the hut from the rest of the field - this could be resolved by continuing the chicken wire fencing along here. This wasn’t a problem for us but more of a flag for people with prey driven dogs. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!!

    Amazing views , so peaceful & relaxing . The shepherd hut was spotless and has everything you need .it has big windows which open wide ( which was important to us as i dont like to be enclosed ) We took our dog Daisy and had no worries as there was an enclosed garden around the hut . Wonderful reception from owners . We had an email asking if we arrived safely. WE CANT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH , it is beautiful and rural .somewhere to recharge your batteries away from hustle & bustle of life We will definitely go back Wendy , Sean & our dog Daisy x
