About this property

Hillside View Shepherds Hut Sleeps 2

A fabulously unique shepherds hut, situated within a small cluster of delightfully individual pods, beautifully designed and surrounded by breath taking scenery across the valley.

The stunning far reaching views and stylish, cosy interior make this ideal for couples to snuggle up on a romantic break but also has a unique offering of being able to accommodate small families, perfect as a base to head off into the surrounding Cambrian Mountains whilst offering a real retreat to return back to.

The open plan living area provides a comfortable bench sofa where you can relax in front of the TV and a well equipped kitchen and compact dining area, with the sofa converting into an ingenious bunk bed.

The shower room is compact and well designed, like the rest of the hut, to maximise space and provide all the home comforts you need.

The master double room gives this shepherds hut a feeling of space and added luxury with the awe inspiring hillside views.

The shepherds hut is set in a private enclosed garden, where the dog and children can use up any remaining energy at the end of the day, whilst you sit and enjoy a cool drink as the sun goes down or perhaps slip into the enticing hot tub and soak in the views.

The local bustling market town of Rhayader is 4 miles away where you can sit and enjoy its restaurants and cafes or head off into the Cambrian Mountains and spend a day exploring the Elan Valley, with its imposing Victorian dams and reservoirs.

Enjoy nearby nature reserves or marvel at the ‘dark skies'.

Builth Wells, famous for the Royal Welsh Show is 17 miles away.

Alternatively, if you fancy a complete change of scene, within an hours drive you could visit the Victorian seaside resort of Aberystwyth on the West Wales coast or take a day trip further north to the National Trusts Powis Castle, a medieval castle, providing a dramatic backdrop for its celebrated gardens.

Hillside View April 2024
The location is absolutely perfect with stunning views and only a few minutes into the town. The place was clean and the facilities were just what you need for a little getaway. This is our third time and we will definitely come back again!

Stunning location
I think the previous reviews have said it all. The enclosed garden was brilliant for our dog. Had the weather been on our side, we would have enjoyed sitting there. Never stayed in a shepherd's hut before, so weren't certain what to expect. It was warm, and plenty of hot water for showering and washing the dishes. They definitely need a new frying pan in the kitchen as it was very scratched and wasn't flat- so it made cooking a bit of a problem. We didn't find the seating area or bed comfortable, so there were a few disturbed nights. I also agree with another reviewer who suggested a mirror in the bedroom. My wife is 5ft 2 and had to stand on tip-toes to see the bottom of her face in the bathroom mirror! The hot-tub was clean and a good temperature. It was so relaxing to sit in it to watch the red kites and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, the frame for the cover had broken, so it took the two of us to take it off and put it on. It also would have been useful if there was something nearby where we could put drinks that could be reached when in thre hot-tub. It didn't feel very safe to balance them on the corners- especially when trying to get off the steps into the water. Having said all that the views, quiet location, wildlife and convenience for the Elan Valley mean that I'd recommend everyone gives it a try. If we knew there was a comfier mattress, we'd definitely return. Did I mention the red kites? They were so close to us and amazing to watch.

Great little secluded stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in Hillside View. It’s on a lovely site with great views over the countryside. Close driving proximity to a little town with pubs, a shop and takeaways (if needed). Very clean accommodation with a few little welcome treats, which was a nice touch. Hot tub a really nice addition and the enclosed garden was great for the dog.
