- Cosy shepherd's hut on a National Trust farm site in Herefordshire
- A 45-minute drive from the Brecon Beacons; near the Offa’s Dyke Path
- Patios with a firepit and grill; buy farm eggs and meat on site
Stylish and cosy is your nest on this 300-acre National Trust farm… Dexter cattle, free-range chickens and arable crops already potter around this place, but you’ll be next in line for this delicious retreat on the border between Herefordshire and Wales. Hiking’s particularly enticing from here, as the site is just off the lengthy Offa’s Dyke Path and 45 minutes from the Brecon Beacons National Park (or for those literary fans among you, it’s a 15-minute drive from the Hay-on-Wye’s bookshops and cafés).
As the name suggests, Robin's Nest Shepherds Hut is a comfy little nest is surrounded by the Herefordshire countryside. As for the little touches that make it so cosy, there’s underfloor heating, an electric woodburning stove, a TV with a DVD player, and a bathroom with a walk-in electric shower. For a timely solution to your hunger pangs, the hut has a fully-equipped kitchen for meal prep too.
Step out of the stable door and you’ll be in a planted garden with pots and a two-tiered patio. There’s a seating area, firepit and grill ready for some alfresco dining… perhaps pair it with a glass of your favourite red, if you like, or pick up some free-range eggs and home-reared pedigree Dexter beef on site.
If you'd like friends to come and join you, it's possible to pitch a tent next to the unit.
Whenever you fancy veering off elsewhere, there are several pubs, a shop and restaurants along the River Wye where the food prep part will be sorted out for you.

Local attractions
Once you’ve holed up in your new den, you might be thinking of stretching your legs after your journey. If so, there are lakeside walks (or pedalos to put your leg muscles to some light work) at Llangorse Lake (35 minutes’ drive). Radnor Forest (35 minutes) is another place with blood-pumping potential, whether that's hikes past waterfalls or kicking up some dust on the mountain biking trails.
Up on the flat summit of Hay Bluff (half an hour), this hike will deliver some more splendid views… and there are more peaks ready for the taking in the Brecon Beacons National Park (45 minutes), including the Black Mountains (an hour and a half), where there are pony treks for those of you looking to give your feet a rest.
While hiking’s certainly a breeze to find around here, that’s not all you’ll have to do. Perhaps you fancy a spot of coarse or salmon fishing on the River Wye (10 minutes), followed by a paddle in a canoe? The buzz of an event in the Royal Welsh Showground (40 minutes) or race day in Hereford (40 minutes)? Hereford has a cathedral and Builth Wells (40 minutes) has more on the historical front, including a castle and ancient church ruins.

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for your review and for writing such positive comments in our guest book!
We are always grateful for any feedback, especially feedback of suggested improvements so we can make any changes for future bookings! :)
Unfortunately, being a farm in the middle of the countryside, our roads do get worn due to heavy machinery and due to the bad weather we have had recently, this has made the driveway worse. We do however, fill any ruts in the road regularly to keep on top of it.
Your suggestion of a small shovel and ash bin has been taken into consideration and we have since brought one for the hut so thank you for this! :)
As our shepherds hut is a small glamping experience, there is minimal room for lots of kitchen space, but it is well equipped and we are due to put in extra worktop space where we can.
As the hut is fairly new and due to the wet winter we have had, this can cause natural movement of the wood and window frames, however, we have not experienced any water/rain leakages into the hut, even in the bad recent storms guests have commented on how the hut remained dry and cosy :)
We do hope you do come and visit us at some point in the future!
