Perfect private retreat- this was a truly beautiful, secluded forest space with a spring fed stream and accomodations to enjoy nature like an open fire pit, bbq, hammocks, springwater hot tub, deck and lovely, quiet spaces for meditation. Filtered spring water on tap was a treat! Bev & Tim kitted out the hut to make it efficient and super cosy in eRead morevery way. The wood burning stove on chilly Welsh nights was perfect for the soul. Pembrokeshire is full of legends & stunning places! We loved it! Hide

Kate

Adored this beautiful hut in such a calming, restorative location. The owners are so welcoming and friendly, whilst giving us our space. The very generous sized plot has a lovely stream, lots of places to sit and a fire pit. It was very romantic and not having a phone signal or WiFi gave us the opportunity to read and talk more than we would elsewhRead moreere. There are lots of public footpaths to explore, cycling around the lake was lots of fun, and visiting Pendine and Narberth was too. Hide

This was a wonderful place to stay, even if I did arrive on my bike via the train from Clynderwen , it's totally feasible to come car free, shopping in Narberth and catching the train to other places including Tenby.

Gorgeous accommodation and surroundings. Complete relaxation and tranquility! We had a warm sunny evening, and colder raining evening and we enjoyed both.

We had a lovely, relaxed time and it was exactly what we needed. With only the sound of the brook, we relaxed in the cosy hut, log fire keeping us toasty warm, watching the birds and dozing to sleep. Perfection.

Csaba

Well equipped little hut in a peaceful location. After exploring the area all day, it was great for resting and relaxing. Also excellent to unwind and be in nature. You can hear the stream flowing and birds chirping, amazing experience. The wood burner brings lovely heat and is good to cook on. Bev and Tim, the owners are lovely people, they thoughRead moret of everything to prepare, looked after us well and provided useful information. Would definitely visit again :) Hide

Clare

We had a wonderful time in this 100% relaxing shepherds hut. The babbling Brook, the dewy grass, the early autumn sun, the abundant choice of garden furniture, the BBQ (and all the necessary utensils), the fire pit, the spring water filled hot tub, the hut itself and the thoughtful way its kitted out were all incredible. All in stunning surrounding s with easy access to the picturesque coasts of north and south Pembrokeshire. Thanks so much to our hosts. Our holiday was just what we needed.

Marcus

Absolutely fantastic place to stay! The shepherds hut was beautiful and had everything you need. The hot tub was secluded and private. The land around the hut was stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed a late night fire and drinks. Beautiful place to stay and unwind!

Alexander

Thoroughly enjoyed our cozy mini-break. The sheltered hot tub gave a warm option when the weather failed us and the sound of the stream helped us drift off sleep.

Gavin

We had a wonderful stay. Very peaceful and relaxing. Very much enjoyed sitting around campfire in the evenings listening to the stream and staring at the night sky. Highly recommend.
