We had such a beautiful stay at the hut was really good. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Bonus was the hot tub. The owners are very friendly and leave you to it. The shampoo and conditioner smelt amazing as well as the bedding and towels. The only thing Id say was its a little far from attractions and you cant order a take away for deliverRead morey. Unfortunately we had a drink so was unable to collect the first night so best to take food with you or drive to collect before drinking. Hide

This was our second holiday here and it was absolutely perfect. We cannot recommend this little hut enough. It is a wonderful place to get away from it all, relax and stay in the beautiful North Wales countryside. Encil Clyd is our happy place.

Absolutely gorgeous shepherds hut and hot tub. Really clean, and great use of the space. Such a peaceful and relaxing location. I loved how private it was, although staying on my own I felt quite safe knowing the farmhouse was next door. Its not as far to the coast as I thought it might be, so great options for me for days out as I was desperate toRead more paddle in the sea, and the beaches at Harlech and Barmouth were lovely. I would love to stay here again and explore more of the beautiful area. Hide
