Liked: This was a delightful place to stay and the host was very accommodating. I can imagine this would be a fantastic place to stay with friends if you had the whole site to yourselves. We'll definitely be back to this lovely, cosy retreat.

Red Kite shepherd's hut
Liked: Ravenscroft was a lovely little glamping site nestled away in the valleys. The hut was beautifully laid out and the site was fantastic. The host was extremely thoughtful and we were even able to bring our little pup. The only criticism would be a coat hook is needed in the hut and it would have been a lovely touch if some shampoo and body wash sachets were provided but this is minor. The place was fantastic.

Red Kite shepherd's hut
Liked: Staying at Ravenscroft was idyllic. When we arrived we were met by Chris, who had already got the wood fired hot tub going for us (legend). A lovely host, he was really informative about the local area and was attentive and easy to contact throughout the weekend. The space itself is beautiful, really gorgeous decor and the perfect little space for a couples weekend away. It has a selection of dvds, books and games to use and all the utensils you'd need. We didn't get a chance to use the hammock (Welsh weather) but would have if it had been hot. There was a larger fire area we could have used as well, but we didnt during our stay. The views are stunning from the property, LLandeilo is only an hour walk away through the gorgeous Newton Estate, which has a deer park and some lovely cows to look at! It's also well located to drive to places locally, including a roman gold mine, the Brecon Beacons and the national botanical garden of Wales. Local shops are also within a short drive from the spot. The bed was the comfiest one we've ever stayed in, with the added touch of a stained glass window above the bed - it felt like we were in a movie. Come rain nor shine this place provides, we had the best time and will definitely be back again. Highly recommend for a relaxed, quiet weekend away with lots of outdoor options. Thanks again Chris!!

Liked: Fabulous rural and secluded accommodation with great views out over the countryside. Very helpful and attentive host who had great knowledge of the local area. The accommodation was of a very high standard, with everything you would need. A great place to get away and switch off.

Red Kite shepherd's hut
Liked: What a beautiful hut. Amazing decor, comfy bed. The hot tub was an added bonus. The peacefulness, the views and the seclusion of this place make it somewhere special to chill, relax and just enjoy glam ping at its best. The fire pit and hammock add to the experience. The host was fabulous and so Attentive. Can’t recommend this place enough. Best Shepards hut we have ever stayed in. We didn’t get to use the log burner or had the need for the underfloor heating as we were lucky with the weather. But in the colder months this would very welcomed and so cosy and warm. We will definitely be back- whatever the weather! No wifi but we both had perfect signal and we’re able to hotspot off our phone to laptop with ease.
