  Wonderful, tranquil, perfect.

  I cannot recommend this beautiful shepherd's hut highly enough. Tucked away in the quiet, scenic Welsh hills, it is the perfect rural sanctuary if you are looking to disconnect, unwind, and enjoy some true peace and quiet. The hut itself is immaculate, warm, and beautifully designed, with a lovely, homely atmosphere and an incredibly comfortable bed that guarantees a brilliant night's sleep. John, the owner, is an absolute gentleman and an outstanding host. He was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and kind, ensuring I had everything I needed for a perfect stay while completely respecting my privacy. Sitting inside watching the local wildlife and listening to the birds wake up in the countryside was exactly the healing medicine I needed. I will never forget my time here and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, John, for creating such a magical harbour.

  The log burner when it’s raining is a good mix watching dvds

  It’s private and a great getaway

  We was welcomed with a smile from John who was very helpful with our stay, and recommend nearby places to go and eat etc, location was excellent and the senary was amazing, the hut was clean and comfortable i would recommend that John got a foldaway table in the hut as eating on our lap wasn't the best but overall we had a wonderful stay and will be back in the near future 😀

  Great weekend break in an idyllic setting.

  We came to the area to see the Oswestry Ballon Festival which was amazing and in doing so found John’s fabulous, idyllic place to stay for the weekend. The setting is wonderful with fabulous views and the birdsong lovely. We used the BBQ for both breakfast and dinner as the weather was really good, which was great. The pool was really refreshing too. Dragon’s hut is very well thought out with everything you need for a short break, the shower was powerful and hot and the bed was very comfortable. We put £5 in the electricity meter for the weekend as we didn’t want it to run out during our stay. No idea if we were anywhere near doing so, but £5 was ok for a two night stay but we didn’t waste any energy to ensure we were covered. We were able to put our food in the fridge at 2pm which we were thankful for as we were heading straight out to the festival and wanted the food and wine chilled for our return later that evening. Overall a great weekend away in a fabulous setting.

  Not a big issue but there was only 1 outside garden chair near to the hut for two people therefore another chair would be good. There is a bench for 4 people further down the garden area near the BBQ, but early on it was in the shade, whereas the chairs can be moved around to suit your needs. Also more relaxed chairs are better for stargazing with a glass of wine.
