This place is lovely, great place we loved it! The views were amazing and the bed was super comfy. We were very lucky that the weather was really good allowing us to have the doors open the whole weekend and making us able to make full use of the outdoor space. Having the end shepherd hut ment we had lots of outdoor space, but it is the only one without a secure garden, no fencing of any kind. Our dog was teathered tho whole time, but he was pretty good, that if we were inside he stayed with us.As the end hut there was zero privacy when not sitting at the back of the hottub. The naughbours huts parking space was infront of our hut and their other gate placement ment they were able to see everything inside our hut.More than one morning we were woken up by a man using a strimmer and lawn mower extremely close to our hut, before 7am. The lack of fence and privacy, and the early morning wake up were our only issues with our stay. We would 100% stay again but not at the mayflower hut. We still had a good time enjoying the local area and the hottub! Would recommend this site

Fabulous Shepherds Hut, had everything needed for a really comfortable stay. Hot tub was huge for two of us but loved trying all the different areas with different jets! Great location to visit surrounding area including Elan valley, Devils bridge, Harmon Forest and Aberystwyth. Nearest village is Rahayder .. great pubs for food as recommended by hosts. Would definitely recommend 5* stay!

Compact, comfy, clean and cosy! Rural quiet location, but close enough to rhayader. Loads of beautiful places to visit within a short drive. Very relaxing holiday. Hot tub an added luxury. Watching the sheep and their lambs from the shepherds hut was a joy! Only small gripe, all the other units had safe enclosed gardens which would have been great for our 2 dogs, for some reason ours didn't so had to keep them tethered at all times. Still gave 5 stars as everything else was so good. Already booked again 😀
