Moelfre - Shepherds Hut

We had the most romantic and fabulous anniversary in the beautiful hut.

The farm is down a lane of six farms, deep in the Cwm Nantcol valley so there is barely any light pollution and star gazing in the log fired hot tub was a delight. The mountain views were incredible and something different every day as the weather and light changed. The hosts are so friendly and kind and were very patient with us making some scatty mistakes. Their Welsh Mountain sheep are gorgeous and provide a lot of entertainment, we even saw wild goats and their kids walking around the valley. The underfloor heating is a real luxury and it’s unusual to have your bathroom inside with Shepherd’s Hut glamping. Harlech is not far with Y Groser to get breakfast pastries, fresh bread and local cheeses/ supplies. The welcome pack is very thoughtful- we had Welsh cakes which were lovely for my first breakfast (pop them on the toaster for a couple mins and slather them with butter.) There was some milk in the fridge and so many thoughtful little touches. We had a relaxed, lazy holiday we both needed. There is so much wildlife. A huge variety of birds, and if you sit in the garden around dusk, we saw a bat flying very close over head. The guest book has loads of information about the farm and the lovely family who run it. The spot is very sheltered, we could sit out in the garden in March. We could see two waterfalls from our hot tub. Highly, highly recommend. Eleri is a local Welsh teacher and it is a proper, working farm so you get a real feel for local culture and life. A real gem. Thank you so much.

Moelfre was brilliant.

Great location and everything you need. Unbelievably quiet with stunning views. Eleri was lovely and so friendly, she sorted out our one hiccup with the shower straight away. Highly recommended.

Our second stay at Moelfre.

Brilliant communication from the owner upon arrival and checking us into our shepherd's hut. The hut was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. You simply cannot beat the location, the quality, or the experience of staying here. Already looking at when we can come back.

A beautiful part of Wales, very peaceful.

The shepherd's hut had everything that we needed. The little extras were a nice touch too x

It is the most magical place we have been too.

We loved every single moment. Thank you ☺️

The stay was amazing.

The welcome pack was a great personal touch. A peaceful and beautiful location with picturesque views. Even the rain didn't stop us from using the hot tub or going on walks around the area. Thank you!

What a brilliant shepherd's hut and location.

The hut is kitted out with everything you are likely to need during your stay, and it is ultra cosy . The location is pretty remote but with an array of footpaths and routes literally on the doorstep. A walkers dream, and some quite challenging routes. I couldn't fault anything about hut . And the location is perfect if you want get away from everything. Having said that Harlech, Barmouth and Llandanwg with their fabulous beach are just a few miles away. 10/10

What a wonderful week, the hut was super cosy and had everything we needed.

Stunning scenery & so much to do.

Truly beautiful surroundings, had a fantastic couple of nights.

Hot tub , in the evening whilst the rain is cooling your face . We will be booking again, Thank you.

Everything was great, everything we needed was in the hut and the instructions for getting there were easy and clear.

The views were fantastic and we really enjoyed the visit

We really loved Moelfre Shepherd's hut.

A lot of care has been taken with the The decor and little touches, making it cosy and comfortable. The views are stunning and the walking was so beautiful. The location is quite remote and the walking was truly wild walking with quite a lot of bogs if you prefer an easy walk! The wood burning hottub was fun but you do need time and patience to use it. Worth it though! We caught the night sky at about 3pm and it was totally breathtaking! Worth staying for that alone! Eleri was very welcoming and helpful and shared alot of information about the history of the farm and the best walks. We are definitely hoping to return.

We stayed for two nights.

Loved the place. Our Shepherd Hut was very cosy and clean. It is far from any noise and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The hot tub was perfect after long walks. The scenery is beautiful. The owners are very friendly and happy to help. Overall a great experience and looking forward to going again.

Beautiful property and location.

Some tweaks needed to make it live up to the price e.g. clear instructions about rubbish, provision of consumables.

Had a fantastic 3 night stay, everything we needed was there, the hot tub was fantastic with the hills as the backdrop.

Top hosts and would return, already recommended to friends

The shepherds hut is set in the most stunning location with 360 degree beautiful views.

Eleri (owner) was extremely hospitable and happy to point out local walks and offer any advice regarding the surrounding areas. The hut itself was beautiful inside and out and contained everything and more required for our stay. We hope to return soon

We had such an amazing stay at Moelfre, the hut was so well equipped and clean, the hot tub was amazing and Eleri was so friendly, welcoming and helpful.

We had some beautiful walks around the area and the local town of Harlech was lovely. We would definitely come again, and we were so lucky with the weather!

We had a lovely weekend in the Shepherds Hut, the location is perfect, beautiful scenery, lovely walks & a quiet area.

The owner came to greet us & explained everything we needed to know which was super helpful, she recommended a lovely walk up the hills to the lake. We loved the location, however we would highly recommend going fully prepared as you are quite a drive away from the local village with a small shop. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back.

We had the most amazing stay!

I will recommend Moelfre Shepards to all my friends and family! The hut was really cozy, all the amenities were faultless and the hosts were really friendly and gave us some amazing recommendations.

The hut was beautifully decorated, clean and had everything we could need.

The location was stunning and had so many walks right on the doorstep. The hosts were lovely and very helpful.

This was our second time staying in this hut and we loved it just as much as the first time!

! The weather was a bit wetter this time but its still lovely to listen to the rain and smoke some bacon in the dry patches :D We will 100% be back again next year, our favourite holiday destination!

I had a lovely stay here and experienced all weather conditions which was awesome.

From sunshine to snow, rain and high winds the cabin was toasty warm and just what I needed for a stay. Highly recommend for a getaway, lots to do around with walks, golf, pubs, castles, beach, mountains and great roads to cruise no matter the weather.

A couple of times the water was not working but was rectified very quickly.

My partner and I had an amazing time in this cabine located in between the mountains.

It really felt like we were the last people on earth. Will definitively come agin!

Dear Gwynday & Eleri We can't thank you enough!

You made our Mini Moon extra special, we really loved the card & prosecco such a lovely gesture in addition to the Merlot and Welsh cakes yummy! What lovely people you are, we are just sad that we didn't get to meet you before we left. No fault but our own as we had to get going earlier than expected. The shepherd's hut was super comfortable and cosy and we loved every second and the hot tub was so relaxing and with such a gorgeous view of the surrounding hills. The Victoria Inn was a fab recommendation, the food was fantastic. We were lucky to get a reservation and went back the next day we loved it so much. We were sorry to have to leave and return to our reality but we would love to come back next year. We recommend you come stay at one of the shepherd's Huts, if you want to relax, go walking, visit the near by Harlech Castle. The beach, there are plenty of places to see it worth it or just don't leave the Hut at all. Thanks again Mr & Mrs Franklin ♥️

We had a perfect week!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! So cosy. Views were amazing and it was very peaceful. Had a lovley warm welcome from owner. Definitely recommend and definitely would go again!

Our stay at Moelfre was really special - the location is magical, the shepherd’s hut is perfect, and it’s clear that Eleri and Gwyndaf have put their hearts into making an amazing experience for people who stay with them.

Eleri made us feel so welcome, getting the fire for the hot tub going for us, and giving us loads of great tips for things to do. The shepherd’s hut is a wonderful place to stay, roomy enough for two tall people with clever storage and everything you need. We miss it already and we’ll definitely be back!

Really lovely location and scenery, property was spotless and in very good condition.

Owners were super helpful and friendly

What a fantastic place, wonderful views, wonderful shepards hut and a wonderful host.

We will definitely be returning. Eleri our host met us on arrival and made us feel so welcome. The location is remote and as mentioned in a previous review it would be advisable to bring your shopping with you. All in all a fantastic place to relax, recharge and enjoy.

We had an absolutely wonderful week staying at Moelfre.

The owners were friendly and very welcoming. Including giving us a tour of our stay and providing us with many day activities and recommendations for the area. The facilities were very clean and our stay was very comfortable and cozy. Although the weather wasn’t great at the start of our week, there is plenty to do in the area or even having a day in the hut and being in the hot tub in the rain was a laugh. The views were beautiful and we would definitely come back and explore the area some more.

My partner and I went for a weekend break and this was perfect!

Literally in the middle of nowhere with beautiful 360 views. The only thing I would advise is that you need to bring food with you to cook there. Otherwise you will need to drive for food. Very romantic and sitting outside with a fire was our top highlight. Also great for walking routes with public footpaths nearly at door step. The quality of the hut is high with everything you could need. Thanks for a great time

We had an amazing stay at the Shepherd’s Hut.

Waking up to the amazing views was perfect. Eleri and Gwyndaf we can’t thank you enough. The Hut itself has everything you could need, and the way it has been decorated/designed made it feel very cosy like home from home. Such an amazing place!

Excellent location, amazing hot tub and cute hut that has all you need for a long weekend away!

Fantastic property in a fantastic setting.

The space inside the hut has been designed efficiently to allow 2 adults to live comfortably, it is protected and private, views are wonderful across the valley and the hot tub is a special extra. The walking in the area around the hut is ideal for those who like hiking. Highly recommended.

We had the best time at the Moelfre hut.

Stunning views! After all day of walking we enjoyed the hot tub, and the hut was always so warm, heating flooring was such a luxury. We were really lucky with beautiful weather! Overall we had magical time and would 100% recommend for everyone!

My partner and I have stayed in cabins/huts all over the UK.

Peak, Lake District. Cornwall but this one blows them all out of the water. Location is amazing, the hut is done to a high high standard. The hot tub works an absolute treat, heated up fully within 2 hours. Plenty of privacy, would recommend and will be 100% staying again ourselves. Amazing stay with amazing hosts. Thank you

Me and my partner absolutely loved our stay, it is such an amazing hut with gorgeous views, we can't wait to come back again.

. we've already booked a week next year!! Eleri was their to welcome us on arrival and showed me how to set the hot tub up, I didn't quite manage to heat it up on the first night but every other night the tub was HOT, we were there for 4 nights and used the hot tub around 6/7 times (morning and evening because it was such an amazing view how could we not!) and we still had a couple logs left so plenty of wood for the fire/tub! Eleri really went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and perfect as she could, can't thank her enough for the help she gave us! There is so much to do and so many walks we only managed to scratch the surface and cannot wait to be back to discover more beautiful walks and some tasty food at the inn (definitely advise pre-booking a table at the Victoria Inn as it's very popular ;) ) The one thing I've got to mention is that there is so much more in the hut than I thought, I ended up packing a fry pan and kitchen bits and bobs as I wasn't sure what would be there when I arrived, but my oh my this hut had everything! From fry pans to potato peelers, absolutely everything I was very impressed, I now know my bags will be quite a bit lighter next time ;) There's loads of storage under the bed too for suitcases and clothes, a drying rack in the cupboard you can hang on the back of a door for drying your clothes after hiking! Oh and the heated towel rack in the bathroom was a god send for keeping those towels toasty and dry, works a treat on walking socks too ;) Cannot wait to come back and cannot recommend highly enough!!

We had an absolutely amazing three nights in the Moelfre Shepherds Hut!

Hot tub - wow! View - wow! Hut and it’s furnishings - finished to such a high standard! Little touches that made it even more special -perfect! Helpfulness of the host - just lovely people! Would not hesitate to go back. I did doubt how good the WiFi in the middle of nowhere would be but absolutely faultless - was able to watch Netflix and FaceTime! Highly recommended xx

What an amazing little hut.

We stayed for 3 nights and had such a relaxing time. The hut itself is equipped to a really high standard, with everything you need for your stay. The hot tub was incredible. We had enough wood for a hot (and I mean HOT) soak every night we were there as well as lighting the fire in the hut one of the nights. It took about 2 hours to warm up on the first night but then every other night only took about an hour to get to temperature. Eleri was on hand to light the fire for us the first night and show us how to get the most bang for our buck. The hot tub is definitely not a gimmick and was the highlight of our stay. The location is stunning, with incredible views from the bed and hot tub, great walks up to the rhinnogs, amazing food at the Victoria in the village and easy access to the rest of Snowdonia. Eleri was a great help and we can't wait to come back and book both huts so we can bring our friends. Thank you for a glorious stay.

We stayed here for a relaxing 4 day break (3 nights).

The huts are fantastic and the area is just absolutely beautiful. To wake up to the picturesque mountainous views was so peaceful. The huts have everything you need, kitchen utensils and all and have been finished to a very high standard. Very cosy and comfortable! Our only fault was with the hot tub or should I say "cold tub". On arrival, Eleri was there to greet us and explained how to use the hot tub, advising us it would take around 2 hours in all to heat up. The first problem we incurred was keeping the fire going as the wood provided was damp if not wet after being left out in the rain. After giving up the first night, we began to use our own wood we'd luckily brought with us which was dry (and little did we know you have to pay for any extra wood whilst you're there). After 3 hours of tending to the fire, we checked the temperature to find it was FREEZING! Again, we gave up the attempt. On our last full day we decided to give it one last shot and kept the fire going for over 4 hours - once again, FREEZING! We were incredibly disappointed with this as we wanted a hot tub break and wasted at least 10+ hours of our stay tending to the fire. Upon our departure, we bumped into our lovely neighbours who were staying in the hut next door, who also told us they had no luck getting the hot tub going and had the same problems - coincidence? Other than the gimmick of the hot tub, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the plenty of walks around the area.

Brilliant location, superb facilities, spotlessly clean.

The owners were so welcoming and in hand if needed.

I stayed at the property for 3 nights, it was an absolute amazing place to stay!

The owners where very friendly and we loved every minute. We was not blessed with the best weather but the walks, place and hot tub, made up for the best weather. The place was absolutely perfect has everything we needed for our 3 night get away. There was nothing we could change! We will 100% be coming back to the property and would recommend to anyone.

After a long drive we’d forgot to stop at a shop for basic nessecaties but the owner kindly went above and beyond and provided us with milk, bread and eggs!

The hut is just gorgeous. So homely and so warm. The location is beautiful. We would definitely come back again. Thank you so much. We loved it. Gemma & Joss ❤️

Moelfre is set against a stunning backdrop of the Rhinogydd’s at the end of a secluded valley.

The photos really don’t do justice to how beautiful the scenery is, and even in stormy, wet February we were still able to sit outside in the wood fired hot tub every night - amazing! The quality of the fixtures and fittings in the Shepherds Hut are exceptional, and the attention to detail in its layout and contents is really well thought out. The hut has everything you need to keep you toasty such as underfloor heating (great for breathing red wine!) and a wood burning stove to dry your walking gear. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and appliances so you never have to leave the valley, though there are great recommendations in the information pack too. We felt very welcomed by the owners and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing shepherds hut, looking forward to visiting again.

I cannot think of anything that would have made our stay better.

Would definitely recommend this corner of luxury to friends and family if they’re looking for a perfectly welcoming little escape in the gorgeously photographic and memorable part of the Wales.

As a suggestion, it may be worth looking into selling some farm produce like eggs, milk, cheese, bread and butter in case of emergencies to occupants considering the idyllic remoteness of the location and the country lane access. Can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely stunning surroundings.

Beautifully presented, warm cosy shepherds hut, with a lovely log burner and hot tub. Met the owner who was very friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for anything more! Highly recommended!
