A perfect slice of tranquillity

This is the perfect place to recharge your batteries! My partner and I loved our time relaxing and cooking over an open wood fire. Jo has done an amazing job building and maintaining this shepards hut making it a perfect base.

My friend and I had the most incredible weekend at the Ynys hut. The location was beautiful with gorgeous walks and the hut was designed perfectly including everything you need. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful aswell. I wouldn’t hesitate to return at the next opportunity. A real hidden gem!

Hi Leyland, thank you for your feedback. We’ll take your comments on board. We do provide a fold out table inside the hut, apologies you weren’t able to find it. Glamping isn’t for everyone, but we hope you enjoyed your stay all the same.

Gorgeous getaway

Beautiful property with great attention to detail. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather to enjoy time in the secret garden (sun loungers provided) Perfect location for visiting Hereford, Ross-on-wye and so close to Welsh border. Photos do not do it justice.

Grand getaway

Absolutely loved staying at ynys hut. Very private and peaceful. The hut was immaculate and Robin was great at supplying extra wood and some local wisdom. Bed was extremely comfy. Shower room/toilet clean. Loved all the little quirky bits around like the hand drill toilet holder. All utensils supplied. Didn't want for anything. The area is serene, a very short walk to the fountain Inn where locals are friendly. Overall we could jot have asked for a more perfect getaway. Thank you Joe and Co Anna and Mike

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature

Lovely little hut, beautifully made and very cosy. The firepit was great for bbqs and the garden was perfect for sitting out in the evenings. Set in a really quiet village, but also a good location for travelling from. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely reccomend it for a quiet relaxing get away

Absolutely Amazing!

From the smooth check in to the beautiful surroundings we had the most perfect weekend away! The shepherds hut is incredibly built and is a credit to the owners, the hosts were very welcoming and so helpful, the gentleman who filled the logs basket for us was so lovely and the lady who let us borrow the sharp knife for dinner too! The shepherds hut was full of little touches to make it special from the welcome note to the firelighting instructions for the bbq! We will be returning for sure,

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful hand built shepherds hut! Hut was spacious, clean and comfortable, outside area was super cute and had everything you needed for a late night bbq. In a good location, easy to reach many attractions and beauty spots and came with a helpful guide to help you with the surrounding areas! Joe was lovely and helpful too!
