Shepherd's Cwtch Reviews

Claire
Lovely little shepherds hut, great for a quiet break. Views are fantastic and it's so peaceful. Hot tub was brilliant for relaxing. It was a little cold when we first got there but soon warms up. Had a lovely welcome pack and Jett out GSD loved her treats too. Town is about a 5 minute drive away and only small but good pubs and takeaways in the area for food.
Kathryn
Fantastic hosts and accommodation surrounded by the natural beauty only Wales can provide. So relaxing, perfect getaway for both us and our fourlegged friends!
Blissful breakaway, absolutely loved it. Perfectly cosy hut for a few days away with my partner and the dog. Stunning views by day, starry skies by night. Highlight was the cattle coming over to the fence to watch us relaxing in the hot tub! We were the first official guests, and the extremely friendly hosts were very keen to hear our feedback and suggestions. Totally recommend...
