Shepherd’s Huts

sleepS two | Dog-friendly | From £120 per night

FREE SAUNA SESSION WITH EVERY BOOKING FOR A LIMITED TIME.

A haven for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, and wild swimmers.

Five cosy hideaways are set on the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, on top of a vast moorland. Built with love for modern nomads, our Shepherd’s Huts are charming outposts for those needing a wildly romantic adventure.

We invite you to turn off your phones, hunker down, and take in the breathtaking views across the quarry and mountain tops. Indulge in lazy lie-ins sipping coffee beneath a king-size duvet. Pull on your boots and start your hike from the doorstep, then relax in our wilderness sauna before curling up by the log burner.

AMENITIES

Utterly remote and romantic, experience off-grid living in comfort. All huts have limited electricity for lights and hot water (though, keeping in mind their location, they are not mains supplied). While there is no Wi-Fi, there is phone service. Battery packs are provided to charge your phone with no wall plugs.

WOODBURNING STOVE
Every hut has a wood-burning stove, ensuring you stay warm and cosy in any season.

DOG-FRIENDLY
When staying in Barlwyd, you can bring one dog per hut, but it must always be on a lead as the land is used for sheep grazing.

WILDERNESS SAUNA
Barlwyd guests have exclusive access to our sauna near the huts with stunning views. Cosy Cape Cove changing robes are also provided.

KITCHENETTE
The huts have fully equipped kitchens and a gas barbecue outside. Guests are also welcomed with tea, coffee, and biscuits.

ENSUITE BATHROOM
Due to the limited water supply, the huts offer two 10-minute hot showers daily. Toiletries, towels, and linens are provided.

COMPLIMENTARY BUGGY
Guests can explore Barlwyd by using a complimentary electric buggy.

Once booked, guests will receive a link to order a variety of extras including a pizza oven kit, BBQ Pack, drinks, extra logs and more.

9.6/10 Rating on Booking.com

THIS PLACE IS PERFECT! WE BOOKED HERE BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE APPEAL, AND IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. THE BUGGY TO THE HUT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE (THIS WAS THE SELLING POINT FOR US). THE PEOPLE AT THE HOTEL WERE EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY IF NEEDED. LOCATED UP A WELSH HILL IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, IT'S GREAT TO SWITCH OFF AND CHILL.

THE DRIVE UP TO THE SHEPHERD'S HUT IN THE GOLF BUGGY WAS VERY FUN, AND THE VIEW WAS AMAZING. THE SHEPHERD'S HUT IS FINISHED BEAUTIFULLY. THE LITTLE LOG BURNER IS GREAT, WALMED THE ROOM VERY QUICKLY. VERY COMFORTABLE ROOM, GREAT FOR A WEEKEND AWAY.
