Beautiful location comfortable cabin

Amazing scenery looking over the valley. The Shepherds hut was perfect for a few nights stay. Very comfortable and with the added benefit of a separate kitchen and bathroom with lovely hot shower. Very nice hosts too. Would definitely return.

Great Escape!

The Shepherds hut Megan is our favourite go to escape. Dee and Peter are always great hosts. The location in the Dee valley is just Breathtaking, the ideal location for just sitting and absorbing nature at its best. We are always sad when we leave, and can’t wait for our next visit. A little piece of heaven on earth. Thank you Dee, and Peter.

Fabulous!

What a lovely spot to stay, beautiful surroundings, calm, peaceful and relaxing. The shepherd's hut is comfy and cosy, the kitchen building has everything needed for self-catering. It's not the Ritz - but wants the Ritz, this is way better! The hosts were helpful and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better break.

Peaceful

We had a lovely time, very peaceful, nice people and nice and clean, our only criticism was no outside lighting whatsoever, so was abit scary when you needed the toilet during the night, which would of been OK if we had of known because we would of took a torch.
