  • "Beautiful setting for a short break."

    Pub walking distance was lovely and food was great there. Hot tub was great and everything was very clean.

    Thank you so much for your kind words Emily. We’re so pleased you enjoyed. Thank you for choosing us, Lowri & Gwyn xx Property Owner

  • "The bed was a little too high for me but the large window was a lovely feature."

    The local area was lovely and the lake was a short walk away.

    Thank you for taking time to feedback Rachel. We hope you saw the step under the bed that helps with getting into the Superking overlooking our land down to the valley; we love that huge window too! Lowri & Gwyn Property Owner

  • "Enjoyed a very pleasant four night stay with my dog."

    The garden is fully fenced high enough to keep most dogs secure, without blocking the view, and the hut equipped with everything you might need for a few nights away. Owners were welcoming and helpful without being at all intrusive. Had an early start before it got hot one morning to climb their own small mountain and was rewarded with stunning views!

    Thank you for your lovely review Jo. Means a lot. Lowri & Gwyn x Property Owner

  • "We had such a fantastic time at Defaid Cymreig!"

    The cabin was immaculate. We woke up to the most beautiful views in the morning and watching the sunset from the outdoor hot tub was an amazing experience. We had a fantastic meal at the local pub- such great service and food! Lowri could not have been more welcoming or more helpful when we left an item at the cabin. We’ll definitely be returning.

    Thank you for your great response. Wishing you both the best for a very Merry Christmas and New Year x Property Owner

  • "Just back from a lovely 4 night break at the Defaid Cymreig shepherd's hut."

    Gorgeous location, very peaceful. The huts are lovely, super clean, comfy bed and a hot tub. Could do with some extra hooks for hanging your clothes and maybe a bigger bin for the kichen area - but other than that, perfect for a short break away from it all.

    Thank you for your feedback Val; always appreciated. So glad you enjoyed. We will look again at adding to the 4 hooks and a larger pedal bin. Al the best, Lowri & Gwyn. Property Owner

  • "A beautifully appointed and comfortable shepherd's hut."

    Lovely touches by the owners ... milk in the fridge and Welsh Cakes to enjoy. And kind and welcoming people too. The views are just lovely and the area steeped in history. Practice your reversing for the narrow single track roads! I had a delicious and substantial meal at the pub in Llansilin. The hut faces due South so gets the sun all day long. If you take your furry friend with you, note that there is no shade outside so take some shelter for them. I could not recommend this holiday retreat more highly.

    Thank you so much for your great feedback Sue. A really good point re shade for pooch- we appreciate any suggestions for our brand new huts. Will look into this. Hope to welcome you back again soon, Lowri & Gwyn x Property Owner

  • "I took my pooch away for 3 days at this fantastic shepherds hut."

    It was exactly as advertised, comfortable bed, beautiful views and a safely fenced in garden for the dog, which was the main draw as that is so rare to find. It was exactly what we needed with so many amazing walks a drive away or even a hike up their very own mountain. The property was private but not too isolated with 2 other huts surrounding and the farm. The view out the big window on a morning was just amazing and some sunset al fresco dining and jacuzzi time was fabulous. I have every intention of returning next year :) Thank you for being great hosts who have thought things through so guests don't need to bring half their own kitchen supplies with them!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback Deborah- so pleased you enjoyed your break. Look forward to welcoming you back next year. Lowri & Gwyn x Property Owner

  • "Beautiful and idyllic."

    The hut is immaculate and high quality spec inside and out. The views are incredible and the walks just on your doorstep are fantastic! Particularly Gyrn Moelfre summit that can be started at the side of the location. Couldn't pick a single fault with it. The owners were very friendly - as was their lovely dog Freddie Mercury! :-) Looking forward to coming back in October. Thank you for a lovely, lovely stay. 5*
