The wool washers hut was really cosy, everything was catered for. The shops were only 10 mins away, and there was a great selection. The brook was a peaceful and calming sound. The fire pit was easy to use as was the gas barbecue. The hut was warm and the water was hot. We would visit again.

Relaxed and peaceful week in this idyllic shepherds hut. The hut is beautiful and warm, and everything provided for a comfortable stay. So much nature and the sound of the babbling brook is wonderful to go to sleep and wake up to, beats any wellness app. Thank you.

A wonderful secluded hut, excellent atmosphere with the noise from the brook filling the private garden. Access for the car is good, but for the most part it stayed where it was while we relaxed and read/dozed in the garden. The covered deck adds an excellent element to the holiday to help cope with the weather when it comes over all Welsh (rain).

Had the most beautiful stay here for our anniversary. Loved how private & remote it was, especially for our doggy to be free. The bed was super comfortable, especially being 5 months pregnant! Loved the hammock next to the water..at one point, we were joined by an otter having a swim & also a Kingfisher - thanks guys, will be back!
