GoldenValley Shepherd's Hut

The hut is immaculate, you could smell the freshness upon opening the doors. Equipped with everything you need, including garden furniture and bbq to enjoy the evenings taking in the views. Tucked away in a remote and peaceful location surrounded by nature and wildlife. We loved watching the animals! Angela was so lovely and recommended places to visit (the waterfalls are a must!) A gorgeous stay at the Shepherd’s Hut, would highly recommend.

Nothing.

Everything. Angela, our host, came out to meet us and show us around. She was super nice. The hut was immaculately clean. The bed was so comfortable that we struggled to get out of each morning. The bathroom was very spacious with a fab shower. The hut has a double hob. Microwave. Fridge. Angela left milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and bottled water for us. The hut is at the back of Dorstone village so it's very quiet. All you can hear are birds. No traffic. No neighbours. It's a 10 minute drive from Hay On Wye so perfect for eating out etc. There's a pub in the village. The Pandy that's about a 10 minute walk. Great place. Amazing food. Can't say enough good things about this place. I will be back.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Everything. This is the 3rd or 4th time we've stayed here as it is an ideal place to sit and relax with fantastic views in peaceful surroundings

The cabin was warm and cosy. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming. The water is spring water and incredible. Bottled water was provided if we had of had issues. The shower was amazing and the view is gorgeous

It would be nice to have a booklet of some of the facilities e.g. what items need turning on and where plugs are to turn on certain facilities. This is truly minor it was just difficult to work out how to turn the microwave on. That may have been my fault though. I looked everywhere else first.

We stayed here for 2 nights owner was lovely . Absolutely beautiful place so peaceful. The cabin is the perfect size an has everything you would need for your stay . We Will definitely be going back here .

One often associates a ‘shepherd’s hut’ holiday with basic amenities and accommodation that is not the best. So enter a new world of delight at GoldenValley Shepherd’s Hut! When you arrive, parking spaces within 30 seconds walk of the hut. Set high above a valley with the most magnificent views, this delightful hut boasts panoramic french windows through which you enter into the dining and kitchen area. In inclement weather you can revel in the views from a well heated and well equipped small kitchen, with a dining table, hob, microwave and very efficient fridge. The movable table which hides away in a niche when not needed, allows really great dining, but the ability after a meal to open the two large side doors, and relax in the dining chairs to soak in the incredible views. Cows down the valley, sheep a little further away. Great varieties of bird life, and in this year of poor numbers of butterflies, a great range of species enjoying the wild flowers which abound here. In warm weather a choice of deck chairs and outside dining with tables and chairs allows al fresco dining at its best. But this is only the start! As you enter this hut, to your right is the bathroom. It’s probably the best use of space I have ever seen! A large walk in shower, a generous wash hands basin and toilet are surrounded by beautiful tiling and a magnificent heated towel rail, which if truth be told, provides a great ambient heat source for the whole hut, although there is an electric oil heater and a fan heater should that be required. On the others side of this well designed living space is a generous double bed, with a window by one’s feet. On an impulse we chose to sleep at the window end, and leave the window wide open. What a joy to doze off with the stars and the moon almost within touching reach! An extremely comfortable bed with a topper mattress.

Nothing

Self catered, however host left milk, tea bags and coffee and biscuits for us, also ample cleaning products towels, and well equipped kitchen

Please do not 100% rely on sat nav, as took on far too many miles along country lanes, basically head for dorstone, and just about 1 mile of country lane

It was peaceful and tranquil, perfect get away

Everything! It is perfect
