A traditional shepherds hut enjoying countryside views by day and starry skies by night, beautifully furnished creating the perfect romantic bolt hole for couples to enjoy.

Set in the peaceful hamlet of Twyford, within the heart of the Herefordshire countryside where you can enjoy a wealth of walking from your front door, there are 36 acres of grounds of which you are free to explore along with a network of pathways. Also, within easy reach the Wye Valley Way, Offa’s Dyke and the Forest of Dean. For cyclists you can enjoy the country lanes or venture into the Forest for a slightly more challenging terrain. And in summertime why not hire a canoe and take time to enjoy the River. A trip to one of the many market towns is a must where you can pick up local produce from a farmers market or browse the independent shops, Hay-on-Wye is famed for books and the annual international literary festival and the market towns of Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and Leominster all welcome you with an eclectic range of independent shops.

You’ll enjoy the drive through the pretty Herefordshire hamlet before arriving at the shepherd’s hut, peacefully secluded within the fringes of a mature meadow enjoying the shade of trees that blossom in the springtime. The hut sits to the rear with wooden steps up to the front door. Step inside and back in time, the interior has been finished in keeping of times gone by with simple cladded walls and picture windows. There is a wood burner with logs to keep you warm in the cooler months, a kitchen area with electric hob, small fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. A folding down oak table with 2 stools. A double bed and a spacious shower and WC.

Outside the area has been enclosed and offers a private hot tub where you can relax and stargaze. There is also a gas BBQ and table and chairs for supper outdoors. There is a storage shed that is suitable for bikes and off-road parking for one car. Guests can also book in advance a private yoga class at the farmhouse, see the need to know.

A lovely, quiet and relaxing get away. It was super cosy and quite private in a beautiful area. Made even better that we could enjoy it with our little furry friend. The owners and very approachable, helpful and easily contactable. We would 100% stay again or recommend to a friend.

Absolutely beautiful there are no faults to report. The owners communication was effective and even went and put the light on at the hut for when we arrived late and it was dark, made sure we were happy with everything and assured us to contact if we needed anything. Definitely would return

This was the perfect weekend away which was much needed. The location is perfectly private giving you a wonderful view of the local farm and wildlife. The hut has everything required for a home from home feeling and the hot tub is an added treat.

The owners greeted us on arrival and gave us friendly advice on use of the facilities and nearby amenities/locations. We struggled initially to light the log burner and the owners were very quick to help. They also brought round candles and offered to charge appliances when the area experienced a power cut. The hut was as advertised, in a rural picRead moreturesque location, a short drive from several nearby towns and public houses and was very easy to find. Hide

This has to be one of the best experiences both myself and my partner have experienced. We had our original holiday cancelled the day before and this was available, I don't think anything could of possibly been better as this exceeded all our expectations for what we were looking for. We could not fault the hosts one bit. We were given the privacy Read morewe wanted as well as always being on hand if we needed them. It was cosy, romantic and perfect in every way. We will of course be back in 2023 Hide
