Shepherd's Cwtch Reviews

Kathryn
Fantastic hosts and accommodation surrounded by the natural beauty only Wales can provide. So relaxing, perfect getaway for both us and our fourlegged friends!
Blissful breakaway, absolutely loved it. Perfectly cosy hut for a few days away with my partner and the dog. Stunning views by day, starry skies by night. Highlight was the cattle coming over to the fence to watch us relaxing in the hot tub! We were the first official guests, and the extremely friendly hosts were very keen to hear our feedback and suggestions. Totally recommend...
