Set within the rolling Welsh landscape, this romantic retreat is perfectly suited to couples looking for a peaceful escape.

The property features two beautifully handcrafted shepherds' huts, lovingly made by the owner from local hillside timber. One hut hosts a soft double bed, a wood burner for toasty winter evenings, and picture windows that perfectly frame the stunning surroundings. The second hut comprises a fully fitted kitchen and a separate shower room, making this retreat as practical as it is inviting. Outside, relax in the private enclosed garden area surrounded by hawthorn trees and neighbouring livestock. Unwind with comfortable garden furniture or gather around the fire pit to toast marshmallows under a sky full of stars. Guests will also benefit from off-road parking.

There’s plenty to see and do nearby. Try trout or salmon fishing on the River Usk or head to Glasbury for canoeing along the Wye Valley. History buffs will love visiting Wales’ Industrial Heritage sites in Blaenavon, while foodies can indulge in the taste of local festivals, markets, and restaurants within the area.

We absolutely loved staying at Bluebell Shepherds Huts - they were in such a beautiful, peaceful location. We spent the evening reading in the hammock, watching the sunset, stargazing and then waking up to incredible views. Having two huts was fantastic, plenty of space, really comfortable and everything you needed (apart from a plug socket, not a Read moreproblem but just worth knowing!) We cant wait to go back! Hide
