Camping gets an upgrade with a stay in this fabulous shepherd’s hut in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Offering space for two guests seeking romance, this cottage is a true bolthole with space to curl up and get cosy indoors or spend an evening by the fire pit under the dark night skies outside. Unlike many shepherd''s huts, this property is set out across two spaces with the main hut housing a double bed and a separate outbuilding offering a kitchen and bathroom facilities on the opposite side of the flowery meadow. This allows you to spread out, using the garden space that sits between the two buildings as an extended living space when the weather is bright and sunny.

Move into the meadow and take in the spaciousness, the outdoor dining set and the fire pit that’s yours to use. On the right, you’ll notice the outbuilding with a spacious kitchenette, a dining table and a fully fitted bathroom. Head across the meadow to reach the hut itself, taking a few steps up and soaking in the traditional design of the space. The room features a double bed, a seating area set opposite a wood burner and tea-making facilities for that all-important brew first thing in the morning or last thing at night.

Offering walks from every direction, this shepherd’s hut is in the fabulous riverside destination of Talybont-on-Usk, right at the heart of South Wales’ National Park. The Taylbont Reservoir is just 2 miles away, an easy route to follow with beautiful nature to spot along the way. The River Usk is also close by (1.5 miles), with a pretty waterfront route taking you right up to the scenic Brynich Aqueduct (4 miles) and onwards to the lively town of Brecon (6.5 miles).

  • 1 double bedroom
  • 1 shower room with shower and WC
  • 2-ring electric hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster
  • Wood burner (first basket of logs included)
  • Seating area with fire pit to the front of the hut, a picnic table for dining

Very nice as always. Minor defects already pointed out to owner. Such a special place that it should stay a closely guarded secret. Good that this property now allows dogs after our previous visits when it didn't. So tranquil one can stay on site and still enjoy it; al fresco dining, bats, geese, horses, variety of birds.

Idyllic and peaceful location with views over a wildflower hay meadow (in May) to woodland beyond, and the shepherd's hut was so warm and cosy that I think even in winter it would have been a great place to spend time. We spotted buzzards, kite and bats, and heard owls hooting at night. We explored the local area on foot and it really is a beautifuRead morel setting, with many walks straight from the door. Also a short drive to some bigger hills, where the views were just stunning. We had some great days out walking, along with evenings around the fire pit. The nearby Three Horseshoes pub serves a great Sunday roast, and it's only a short walk to the Canalside Cafe in the village, which does strong coffee, homemade cakes, breakfasts, lunches, and curries to eat in or take away, as well as being a shop and post office. A real asset in a lovely village. Hide

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay. A lovely shepherd's hut in a peaceful location, close to local amenities. Car parking is on site. The hut is very comfortable. Plenty of walks from the door step and a bus stop at the end of the road. Host was very welcoming and helpful.
