    Not really a negative but the bathroom door was difficult to close at the bottom. It could do with a couple of coat hooks for the towelling robes that were kindly provided.

    The shepherds hut is in an ideal location, away from the town (so nice and peaceful but a short walk away), and just perfect for a romantic weekend away. The bed was very comfortable. The log burner kept us nice and snug at night. It had everything that we needed, including a fridge in the outdoor kitchen and the use of the BBQ. There were even 2 complimentary bottles of Prosecco ready for our arrival. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. We stayed in it until the early hours, star gazing and listening to the running stream in the background. Martin, the host, was extremely helpful and made us feel at home. He even came and met us in the town and showed us where the hut was. Nothing was too much bother. We even had morning visits from Lyra, Martin's dog, who was after a belly rub or two! We will definitely be back to stay in the shepherds hut.

    The location is amazing, It’s the perfect base to explore the national park from. The area around the hut is really peaceful too with good views and the sound of a running stream. The hut itself was clean, had everything we needed and is bigger than other huts I’ve stayed in! Martin was really welcoming and got us a table at his restaurant too which had great food. I would highly recommend staying here!

    nothing it was perfect ! the location was incredible! we had a friendly host who was really helpful for information about attractions nearby.

    amazing location- very close walking distance to town which is stunning ! beautiful walk through woodland to the inn and fantastic locally sourced food! also easy drive for people who don’t want to walk. secluded and romantic for us as we were on honeymoon! Great facilities wood fired private hot tub and lovely garden they even gave us bathrobes ! cozy fire in the cabin :) great shower in the cabin! beautiful location. our favourite surprise addition was Lyra the golden Shepard who loves belly rubs ! Martin our host was fantastic. also had the use of bbq or wood fired pizza oven! we didn’t want to leave. we had fantastic weather but plan to also come in the winter which will be lovely with the cozy fireplace.

    The location was quite hard to find - make sure you get directions or chat to the owner before setting off!

    Very picturesque location, clean, comfortable and cosy. A short (but steep and strenuous!) walk down into Betws down a private footpath. The owner also runs and operates a pub in the town, which I would highly recommend for dinner - the food was exceptional.

    The time went far to fast.

    We liked this accommodation and hot tub location. We felt that we had the place to ourselves. The owners were on tap if we wanted them but left us alone to enjoy peace and quiet. It was a beautiful location. It felt remote but wasn't at all. The owners had a hotel on the main road with outstanding food. Beautiful place to eat .

    Booking.com needs to change the location it should be 53.084685,-3.788396 The only real fault is there was no welcome hamper with the likes of local milk and meat. Or at last be an option for extra £

    It's very quirky and looked great. It's meant to be different and I liked that.

    needs a lot of wood to keep the hot tub going but once we got the hang of it it was lovely getting in and out of the drive was a bit tricky with being up hill and on a bend

    it was very quaint and a bit quirky just how we like it. very clean on arrival was a good base for us as we walk a lot and loved the town

    It's a bit tricky to find & the access road is single track which made it interesting when meeting someone coming the other way! Once we'd driven it in daylight, we were fine.

    Great location, fantastic views & cute accommodation. Owner was great & we ate at Ty Gwyn hotel- the food was delicious

    Only improvement would be the directions to the property, me and my partner spent about 30minutes looking for the property however a short phone call to the owner clarified we were in the complete wrong direction. And was soon rectified and arrived shortly after.

    The location, the facilities on offer eg. Outside Kitchenette. The homely feel. The surroundings were spectacular far enough from the hustle and bustle but short enough to enjoy trips out.

    Honestly, nothing. It was perfect. My only note is for others guests. You need a mode of transport as the location is out of the way and you are not likely to get a taxi in this area.

    The hut was exactly as pictured! The owner and his wife were extremly accomodating and helpfull. The bed was easy to set up and very comfortable, with the hut being perfectly laid out to maximise space. The hot tub was fabulas and because of how little light pollution there is out here, you can sit in it and look up at the stars for hours! The surroundings are beautiful and tranquil. Perfect to escape from the daily grind. Thank you for this wonderfull stay!!!

    Excellent location, right on the doorstep of the activities we had booked. The host was very welcoming and gave us some good local information for walks and shortcuts into the town. The hot tub was excellent for after a full day of activities. Place was exactly as described and a wonderfully different little weekend away.

    I was a little concerned about being in the hosts garden, however, after Martin showed us around when we arrived, we were left to it and didn’t see anyone for the 3 nights we were there, so that was not an issue at all. Martin gave us his number to contact him if there was anything that we needed.

    Cosy with everything that you need for a few days away. The hot tub was a welcome treat after a long day walking Snowdon.

    We booked this little cabin for the weekend and it was perfect! Lovely high up location with great views & a beautiful forest with a path right down to the the hosts hotel. Had our own privacy the whole time. Martin was great with tips on the local area & anything you needed. Hot tub was very nice, easy to heat up & so relaxing after a long day exploring! Would stay again!
