The Accommodation

Just launched! Featured in the Guardian here. A traditional shepherd's hut in a remarkable location - offering seclusion, acres of land to explore, and wonderful open and uninterrupted views of the Black Mountains. This cute waggon has been renovated with sustainability in mind and comes with an acre or so of its own land, a seperate small shower cabin and a third cabin with a compost loo. A genuine opportunity to get close to nature and explore the wildlife on the lake to the rear, or over 450 acres of ancient woodland and pasture that comes with the farm. A fun place to stay in a special location. Prince Charles recently bought a nearby farm as his Welsh base, so it must be good. Extra images here.

Customer Comments

'The very cosy and romantic little hut is hidden away in a secluded and private corner of a very beautifully kept farm. There is a small lake to sit by, magnificent views to stare into, red kites and buzzards wheeling overhead and the silence is deafening. The hut and surroundings contain all that is required for a couple to be transported out of reality and forget that time exists.' Steve & Christine

'The bed is a cosy double, very comfortable, with high quality bedding...the wood burning stove keeps it cosy all year round. Although I was there in summer, grab this when the snow next comes, as it has to be pure magic.' Catherine Mack, ecojournalist
