August 2020
Fantastic little getaway! ! We will 100% be visiting again, loved every minute of it. Above and beyond all expectations we had , and the welcome package upon arrival was heaven sent. The pictures do not express the pure beauty of this holiday location. With unexpected private garden with a wonderful stream and plenty of seated area's. Me and my partner would reccomend this holiday to anyone who is looking for a quiet weekend or week away, close to the beach, waterfalls and hundreds of beautiful woodland walks. We also tool a trip to the CAT (Centre for Alternative Technology) which was gorgeous. 10/10. And the little hut itself was wonderful had every kitchen appliance imaginable !! 100% Recommended.

The Shepherds Hut was very well equipped.. The owners left a most generous welcome pack and we would definitely recommend this holiday let. The location was great with easy access to the sea and mountains. Certainly good value in October.

Beautiful accommodation.. Booking easy and efficient.

The owners of the Shepherd's Hut were very friendly and left us an amazing welcome pack.. The Hut is not as close to the sea as we were led to believe; we had to cross the road, a train track, a golf course and sand dunes. We were very comfortable and both sections of the hut were amazingly well kitted out, with a lovely spacious shower in the bedroom section and full kitchen and lounge in the other hut. It wasn't as clean as we would've liked, the windows being grubby, but we were there at the end of the season and the places that mattered most such as the fridge and bathroom were spotless. We had a great time here and recommend it thoroughly for a romantic getaway or just a relaxing holiday, especially for walkers and anglers (the Dyfi estuary fishes well). One more thing- You do have to move outside to from one hut to the other which can be a pain in the rain!

Absolutely beautiful part of Wales, we will definitely be returning .. The shepherds hut is amazing, the owners left us the most generous welcome pack, even including a bottle of champagne which we drunk sitting on the swing while watching the sun going down! Wish we booked the whole week!

The Shepherd's Hut/Cottage was really lovely and comfortable.. The wood-burners were perfect to create warmth and cosiness to our rainy holiday, the living room/kitchen was comfortable and inviting to spend lazy relaxing days indoors. The Shepherd's Hut was beautifully located in a quiet area close to a village so it was easy to access shops and restaurants. The kitchen was really well stocked with cooking equipment. We had a brilliant , relaxing holiday and would be happy to return to Shepherd's Hut in the future.

Welcome pack excellent, very cosy and well presented would like to have met owners.. It is situated in a great spot for touring around great scenery, only thing that let it down was the weather but this time of year it is to be expected.

Another amazing stay that we didn't want to leave.. Accommodation was as fantastic as the first time -so well equipped and beautifully maintained. Roaring wood fires instead of eating on the patio but still a wonderful break away. Sleeping listening to the waves crashing on the shore. If only we could have stayed...

We were very impressed with The Shepherd's Hut. The quality of the appliances and furnishings, towels and linen were top class. We could not fault it.

Wonderful accommodation that is situated in a most beautiful part of Wales. Romantic retreat, just a shame it had to come to an end. The Shepherds Hut is fitted out to an extremely high standard with kitchen appliances that I would love to have at home. As much as I loved it, I am worried about saying how great it was just in case I can't get to book it again!

A stunning cottage, in a stunning part of the world, the cottage had everything you could wish for and more. The owners were wonderful, and we will definitely be back.

The Shepherd's Hut was a beautiful romantic retreat in a spectacular part of Wales. Superb holiday, didn't want it to end. This is the second time I have booked with Sykes Holidays and the accommodation on both occasions has been fantastic, I will definitely use you as my first point of call.

This is a compact, unusual property comprising two separate buildings, one used as a kitchen/dining and one as a bedroom/bathroom: both contain a small cooker and fridge. The bedroom is very cosy. The huts are equipped to a high standard, in their own quiet garden set back from the road and have a light, airy but private feel. Good access right from the front door to walking on the pretty hills behind or the enormous beach over the road.
Mrs Bird

The location of Shepherd's Hut was perfect. Only two minutes walk from a beautiful empty beach and 10 minutes walk from a harbour town. The property is very quirky and cosy.

So long since I've been to the seaside and to stay in an incredibly cute, comfortable place just a stone throw from the beach was excellent. Waking up each morning hearing the sea birds waves.
