  • Se permiten las hogueras y las barbacoas; Llandeilo a 10 min en coche
Escape with ease to a valley and river-based Carmarthenshire break at Shearer’s Retreat, a serene farm site to the west of the Brecon Beacons National Park in a setting hailed as ‘stunning’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘peaceful’ by former guests. On a working sheep farm surrounded by woodland, the retreat is a quiet but conveniently set spot for lazy holidays and Carmarthenshire sightseeing, as well as wanders through the fields to the tree-lined river of Afon Dulas flowing along the valley. Look around and up occasionally when you’re idling around on site, to see wildlife of all sorts in the surrounding fields, and buzzards and the resident red kites Kath and Kenny flitting around overhead. The glamping setup is a treat here: the shepherd's hut has a comfy double bed already made up, along with an ensuite shower, marine flush toilet, table and chairs, hot and cold running water and LED lights. Off site, there's no need for lengthy journeys whether you’re going for sightseeing or sustenance: the local pub (recommended for its food) is a couple of miles away and the independent shops, boutiques, delis, supermarket, Friday morning farmers’ market and award-winning local food suppliers of Llandeilo are a couple of miles after that. Welsh highlights of all sorts are within a short drive too, like the National Botanic Garden of Wales (the dome of which is viewable from the farm), National Trust properties, gold mines and two castles. Carmarthen is 25 minutes’ drive away.

Me gustó: Only stayed for one night but loved it! What a hidden gem of a glamping spot! Such a cute shepherds hut, well equipped with outdoor kitchen and fire pit, so secluded, located within amazing nature, fields, woods, streams... Only sheep around, and the lovely host only checked in if all good and we had a nice chat, then we enjoyed ourselves in total privacy. Thank you!
Loved the cute touches such as providing Welsh cakes and eggs...
Bed linen, towels provided, shower hot enough and good pressure !
Pretty good phone reception so didn't even need WiFi when needed to be online.

No me gustó: Toilet took some time to be fully flushed at times...
We brought our own mokka kettle to brew coffee on the stove, but that would be great addition to the already well equipped kitchen.
Outdoor covers seating area would also be great there to hide from the rain, and extra blanket for snuggling outside would also be a good idea.
But no dislikes as such, jist recommendations!

Me gustó: This was our first time in a Shepherds Hut and we absolutely loved it. Louisa, the owner, has provided everything needed for cooking, a very comfortable bed and a surprisingly good gas powered shower and loo. There’s a wood burning stove for winter but we didn’t need to use it.
The outdoor kitchen is basic with corrugated roof, a worktable and a double burner stove.
The Shepherds Hut stands alone at the end of a track in a field with wonderful views.
We even had eggs from Louisa’s hens. Their farmhouse is nearby so she was easy to contact when we needed an extra powerbank for our phones. That is one thing we’ll prepare for next time because we needed to use our phones for navigation and didn’t have enough storage on ours.
Really recommend this lovely place if you fancy getting away from it all but also want to be within 15mins of good food and independent shops in beautiful Llandelio. A find!

Me gustó: Lovely setting in a field with fab views, nice and clean with all the basics you need

No me gustó: Toilet use is just for urinating in, flush won’t take anything else. Did not have hot water.

Del administrador: Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you enjoyed the hut and its location and we hope you will come stay with us again.

Sorry to hear you had problems during your stay. As we live onsite, we could have, and would be more than happy to, resolve both of these issues very quickly during your stay had we known of them.

The toilet is a 12v macerator toilet, set up to process both liquid and solid human waste, some corrosion on the battery connectors prevented power getting through, which is why it wasn't flushing.

Water is heated by a tankless gas water heater, we have recently put in a new unit and has required some adjustment.

Direcciones de ruta

On the A40 between Carmarthen and Llandeilo, take the turning north towards Capel Issac. Travel on up to the T-junction and turn right, always following signs to Chapel Issac. Turn left at the old chapel and after about a mile, turn down the farm track with the PenHill sign, and turn into the first gateway on the left. The shepherd's hut will be open for you, with the key inside. If approaching from Llandeilo, turn right off the A40 (just after the Cottage Inn). Follow the road on the left over the stone bridge. Take the first left and soon after, beside the old chapel take the right turn. After about a mile, turn down the farm track marked by a New Zealand flag and drive up to the white house on the right.

Lugares de interés

The farm’s river and woodland setting is within 20 minutes’ drive of several day trips to suit most tastes – perhaps to Aberglasney Gardens or the National Botanic Gardens of Wales, to the National Trust-managed traditional Carmarthenshire farmhouse at Aberdeunant, to country parks, or to two castles – Dinefwr and Carreg Cennen. Carreg Cennen Castle is just inside the Brecon Beacons National Park and has spectacular views over its western landscape: take in your fill of these then descend to investigate what’s on offer in the Beacons; trails lead from the castle further into the park. For more sedate sightseeing, the Gwili Steam Railway (30 minutes’ drive away at Bronwydd Arms Station) chuffs along a four-and-a-half-mile section of the former Carmarthen to Aberystwyth line. Heading towards the seaside, the scenic beaches of Gower and Pembrokeshire are 45 minutes’ drive away, as is the Boathouse, or Dylan Thomas Writing Shed, at Laugharne, where the writer spent the last four years of his life. It’s a cinch to get to Cardiff from here too, in about an hour and 20 minutes’ drive via the M4. Many events including musical nights, antiques fairs and family days take place throughout the year: ask the friendly and knowledgeable site team for info.
