THE BARLWYD SEASON BEGINS
Barlwyd Shepherd’s Huts are tucked away in a quiet, remote part of our site, high on the moorland, offering a peaceful off-grid experience. It's the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with what really matters.
You've seen our stunning drone shots of the huts nestled in their dramatic landscape, but what’s it really like staying at a Barlwyd Shepherd’s Hut?
When you arrive, you'll check in at reception, watch a couple of videos, or have a chat with the team about your stay. Since the huts are completely off-grid, you'll get a quick rundown on how the hut works, from the battery to the shower - simple stuff, but definitely important!
Then, it’s time to head to your hut. You’ll drive to the Barlwyd Car Park, hop into one of our electric off-road golf buggies, and zoom up the winding track to your hut. They’re a blast to drive, and the ride is just the beginning of your adventure!
As you make your way up into the mountains, past the sheep gate and a bit further up, you’ll catch sight of the huts with Llyn (Lake) Barlwyd just behind them. It’s only about a 5-minute buggy ride to get there, but the views along the way are incredible.
Once you arrive at your hut, it’s time to settle in! First, plug in the hut’s battery to get everything powered up (don’t worry, it’s easy), then kick back and relax.
Inside, you’ll find a super comfy king-size bed, and that’s when it’ll hit you, these huts are far from ordinary! They’ve been thoughtfully designed and beautifully decorated, with a kitchenette, dining area, log burner, shower, and toilet.
You’ll also have everything you need to cook up a meal, including utensils, pots, pans, a fridge, and a hob. Just bring the food and get cooking!
Looking out the window, you’ll see views over the valleys over Ffestiniog and the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) But closer to home, you’ll see Llyn Barlwyd and our Wilderness Sauna.
The sauna is exclusively for Barlwyd Shepherd’s Huts guests, but must be reserved in advance. You’ll have a link in your confirmation email to reserve your sauna spot. Its an incredible way to unwind after a long hike.
Barlwyd Shepherd’s Huts are open from 21st March 2025 until the end of October. Each year, they make their journey down the mountain for the winter and return for the Spring season.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Barlwyd Shepherd’s Huts! Make this the year you reconnect with nature in beautiful Wales.
