This fantastic shepherd’s hut is the perfect escape for two – and the dog! Located on the River Ceiriog on the Welsh border, this accommodation sits in the ideal spot to explore both the Dee Valley and Shropshire. But with your own wood-fired hot tub, BBQ and fire pit to enjoy in stunning grounds as well as fishing facilities, it might be hard to tear yourself away.
This unique holiday property has beautiful fresh interiors, making use of the hut’s wooden interiors to bring a classic yet contemporary feel. Although compact, there’s plenty of space to whip up a delicious meal in the kitchen area and eat at the bistro table on the decking looking out across the fields. If the weather won’t allow, there’s a table inside too. Bubble away in the hot tub, planning tomorrow’s adventures, or switch on the wood burner-effect electric fire inside and get comfortable on the chairs while you watch TV. When you’re ready for bed, the double bed awaits with a curtain to draw next to it to make it extra cosy. In the morning, head outside with your coffee to watch the day unfold before hopping in the shower that sits off the kitchen area.
Explore 700 years of history at the National Trust’s Chirk Castle (3.5 miles) before enjoying lunch in the town’s local pub. Over the border in Oswestry (7 miles), take a ride on the Cambrian Heritage Railway or visit Oswestry Town Museum. If you’re here for great walking or cycling routes, you must try the Offa’s Dyke Path (6 miles) where you’ll see Pontycysyllte Aqueduct. And if you’re a thrill-seeking couple, try whitewater rafting at Rapid Horizons Llangollen (7.5 miles).
