Loved our stay here! The owners respond very quickly to any problems and are very helpful. The only thing I'd say is remember to bring extra towels to use for the shower and extra toilet and cooking oil. Otherwise we were very happy.

Fantastic little getaway and very secluded no signal on your phone and no WiFi! The sound of the stream running buy, a fire pit and with such little light pollution all you need is a clear sky it is truly amazing just how many stars you can see. The place it's self was clean and once you get the fire going very cosy. 5 star Hideaway

Amazing, stunning, cosy hut, exceptional location, attention to detail including personnel touches made it even more special. Log burner for a damp evening, decking area for a BBQ with a view! Ideal for a break totally off-grid!

We stayed in Cut Sinc and we really enjoyed it. Beautiful location, very peaceful and cosy place to stay. It's surrendered by mountains and there is stream just next to the huts which you can see from the window. We had amazing time there and enjoyed the fire wood hot tub. Thank you for the treat you prepared for us. We would definitely recommend this place and come back. One downside was that extra wood had to be paid for and we used a lot of bags for hot tub and for indoor burner.

Such a perfect stay in Cegir! We had two nights here and I wish we had more. After a pretty tough year we were looking for somewhere to take a breath and this was it. The first night it rained but we loved it, we got cosy in the hut which has everything we needed, played cards, read and watched films. We loved listening to the rain on the roof! The second day we couldn’t have wished for better weather. We spent the whole day either in the hot tub or listening to the birds singing. It was bliss. We were even lucky enough to see 4 jets fly right over the hut on the Mach loop which was a pretty cool sight. In the evening we got the fire pit going and toasted marshmallows, a lovely thing to do. It was also the perfect place for our dog who loved roaming around the enclosed deck in between walks. We can’t wait to go back! It was just perfect.

We were so pleased with our short break to the sheperd huts! We stayed in Cut Mawr, first impressions were how beautiful it was, spacious and clean. As it was an off the grid property (no electric) we were worried how would we manage, young family and a dog, but it was lovely! The hosts had thought of everything, from plasters to guides on the area! A cool box was provided (as no fridge) and ice blocks could be changed daily, our food kept cold for the duration of our stay, even uncooked meat! It was very well thought out! It was extremely hot weather when we stayed and the hosts brought parasols for the huts to help with shade! This was very much appreciated especially being pregnant and for our large dog & small child! As lovely as it was to not be reachable by wifi or phone service, they provided WiFi that we could access in certain places if we need to contact loved ones or plan an adventure, it was ideal! The perfect escape away to wide down relax, beautiful scenery surrounding, a stream and a little hammock swing that our little girl loved! Evenings spent playing games and watching the rabbits play in the field, absolutely stunning. 100% recommend and we will definitely be visiting again soon! Thanks again so much Sioned & Andy!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Highly recommended but a couple of small issues. Honestly these complaints should be taken quite lightly as we had an amazing stay. Hosts were very helpful and friendly when we spoke to them over phone or text. We didn't actually see them face to face but I understand that they may be busy and some guests might prefer it that way. The cleanliness was slightly poor. BBQ had quite a bit of burnt food and quite a lot of dust under sofa cushions. (I would not usually look but lost some change). Hot tub was amazing. Very nice size for 2. Good space for drinks. My other small complaint that there was enough wood for the fireplace for the first night. Extra wood had to be paid for. This is the first time I have come across a place that does not include cost of logs which have been similarly priced. Out of slight protest we did buy logs elsewhere.
