Overview
Property code: 89050

The hut is located in completely private woodland near a peaceful babbling stream. It's just 3.6 miles North of Clynderwen and 7 miles from the popular market town of Narberth. Narberth has a great selection of independent boutiques, cafes, restaurants and bars to choose from and is a fantastically central location to explore both the coast and countryside of Pembrokeshire. For cycling, water sports and other outdoor pursuits, why not head to Llys-y-Fran Lake (8.6 miles) with almost nine miles of trails to explore alongside kayaking, stand-up paddleboards and open-water swimming available on the lake.

As you enter the hut you are welcomed into a vibrant yet cosy living and dining area. There is a double sofa bed to relax and a wood burner for cooking or heating in the colder months. The hut has been designed to be as eco-friendly as possible and benefits from solar power electricity for hot water and small appliances. With no TV, internet or mobile phone signal, this is truly a place to unwind and escape the pressures of every day and enjoy a digital detox. There is a single gas hob to cook on, a compact but equipped kitchen with utensils, plus an ice box is provided to keep your food cold. There is also additional fridge and freezer space available in an external utility space just a short distance from the hut. The sofa bed folds down into a comfortable double bed, looking out at the woodlands around you. The shower room has a free-standing power shower and composting toilet. Please note the property is not suitable for children or infants.

Externally the hut enjoys a decked terrace with bistro set overlooking the hills, perfect for a glass of wine at a sunset. There is an additional seating area at ground level offering a BBQ firepit for evenings spent dining al fresco and watching the stars. Just up the path a little further there is a large open firepit to enjoy on colder nights, toasting marshmallows and listening to the stream pass by. Head downhill and you will find your full enclosed Lay-Z-Spa hot tub with towels and robes provided; jump in and soothe your muscles after a day of exploring the area.

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.

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.

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 surroundingRead mores 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. Hide

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!

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.
