One of two super shepherds’ huts nestling in the beautiful Wye Valley. Less than three miles to the pretty market town of Usk, which offers a plethora of independent shops, eateries, inns and antique shops. This fantastic area offers an array of dramatic landscapes and nature trails, plenty of opportunities to sample the local produce and a visit to nearby Abergavenny is a must. There are many historic sites, castles, ancient monuments, museums and galleries to explore, including Tredegar House, Tintern Abbey and Chepstow Castle. Lots of activities such as kayaking, sailing, fishing, mountain biking, climbing all within an easy drive and spectacular walks straight from your door.

Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/sleeping area. You will first notice that this quality property has been hand-made, creating a more spacious environment, being both wider and taller than standard. The lounge area has two chairs where you can enjoy the heat from the warming wood burner or watch a film on the TV/DVD, which makes this a cosy retreat at any time of the year. The kitchen area has an electric oven and induction hob, fridge and a Nespresso coffee machine. The bed is a double from where you can enjoy the lovely rural and wildlife views through the shuttered windows. There is ample storage space built-in behind and below the bed. There is a fantastic shower room with a power shower and WC, adding a little bit more indulgence to your glamping experience.

Outside is an additional outdoor kitchen with charcoal BBQ and bench seating for some al fresco dining, a hammock for lazy afternoons reading a good book and a fire pit for enjoyable, social evenings looking up at the stars before heading inside to the wood burner. Honesty shop selling locally sourced meats, snacks and other items. Bike storage is available and there is ample off-road parking for two cars and a pathway leading to the property.

It was a great base to get to all of the sites we wanted to see and Nick and his family were brilliant and so helpful Hetty was a big hit with our dog Buddy! Plus the views were beautiful!

These Shepherds huts are in the most beautiful and peaceful location. A little difficult to find but all part of the excitement and adventure. Lovely welcome from Nick and Hettie the retriever. Accommodation was perfect with everything you would ned for outdoor lining without actually being fully outdoors. Will certainly be going back.

The hut is incredibly warm and cosy and we both had a wonderful time. The scenery and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. You are isolated and away from all the hustle and bustle but not too far away that you can't easily get to local amenities etc. I would thoroughly recommend this to anybody. Our hosts were amazing, they were so accommodRead moreating and friendly. Hide

We have just returned from a long weekend stay in the shepherds hut with our miniature dachshund. We absolutely loved it and genuinely could not find fault with anything! Nick ensured we had no problems and had great local knowledge for walks. As an added bonus you get the delight of Hetty ( the resident K9) who is an absolute gem and plays so wellRead more with other dogs. We will definitely be returning and can't wait to book again!
