Shepherd's hut
Liked: Perfect hosts, friendly, welcoming and with lots of local knowledge. Brilliant to have own kitchen, loo and shower and one of the main reasons we chose Plynlimon. We didn't realise and were absolutely delighted to find that so many things were so thoughtfully provided, not to mention a scrumptious basket of goodies too. So kind and much appreciated. Everything is provided from a selection of glasses, crockery and pans to tea bags, filter coffee and condiments to lovely, thick towels. Breakfast of local produce ordered in advance and this was absolutely fantastic too. We visited so many local spots, walked for miles each day and enjoyed watching the birds from the decking of the hut and through the windows when it got chilly at night. We loved it and cannot wait to return.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: This was one of our best getaways of the year. Where do I start… the hut itself was immaculate and had everything we needed to have a relaxing stay. There were also lots of nice touches around the hut (USB power sockets, board games, books, nice furnishings) which made it feel very plush and homely. The separate stable with the kitchen, shower and toilet was perfect as it allowed the hut to be a lot bigger. The kitchen area had everything needed for light cooking and all the utensils needed. There was even a nice coffee machine and a cafetiere - some extra nice touches. The shower was lovely and clean, and nice and hot! Our stay was faultless and we were well-looked after. The owners are very accommodating and helped with some special requests to make our stay even more enjoyable. We ended up booking an extra night because we didn’t want to leave so soon! A very special place to unwind and switch off. There are also lots of places around and many things to do - walks with great scenery, towns and villages, local coffee shops, restaurants/pubs, visitor centres etc. Would highly recommend!
