A brilliantly equipped shepherd’s hut set right on the border of England and Wales boasting superb views and a spacious terrace. This eco-friendly home is perfect for a couple or two friends looking to get their legs moving along the abundance of nearby walking routes.

Though the shepherd’s hut is small, it is perfectly formed, with wood-cladded walls and colourful decor – it’s a welcoming space for you to enjoy with your loved one. You will have everything you need for a practical stay with a lovely kitchenette complete with gas oven and hob, a warming wood burner set in front of a seating area, a roll-out, two-seater dining table, and a raised built-in double bed in front of a window, which means you can enjoy the mountain views as soon as you wake up. A private shower room and eco WC are situated just outside the hut. Outside is a fabulous, spacious terrace, where you can get cosy with a blanket and a sundowner, admiring the far-reaching views and reflecting on the day’s events.

Guests to this hut are welcome to explore the acres of grounds surrounding the property and there is an abundance of walking routes nearby too. Head off along Offa’s Dyke Trail (4 miles) which passes through varied landscapes and has beautiful views or visit the cascading Water Break-its-Neck waterfall (8 miles). If you fancy spending a day perusing the shops and markets, literary town Hay-on-Wye is 17 miles away, or Ludlow and Rhayader are 24 miles away.

Fantastic quiet location, great facilities - the dog towel was a godsend as we forgot ours! A great base for lovely walks, and the Shepherds Hut had everything you could need. Thank you

This was a fabulous getaway. Star gazing was spectacular with little light to distract. Sunsets lit up the sky and the views were breathtaking. This was a very well set up shepherds hut, decor was well thought out, and the peace and quiet was really something that was so refreshing.

Dreadful directions for locating the site. Inaccurate and incomplete. No signage whatever. Difficult access for anybody with a disability - this should be pointed out in the advance information. Trudging up a steep hill for 300 yards in rain and wind with luggage is no joke. No light in the toilet facility. Primitive cooker. Decking is a slip hazarRead mored. Very poor internal lighting except over the bed. Requires general redecoration. OK for those happy with basic needs in a superb location. Hide

Fabulous view and sky at night. Could see all the stars, as no light pollution. Our dog loved the open space, no issues with it not being fenced in. Great base for Hay on Wye, only a half hour easy drive.
