Llanbedr 5.0 miles.
Sitting picture-perfect and surrounded by countryside on the outskirts of Llanbedr, Gwynedd is this handcrafted dwelling, Moelfre - Shepherds Hut.
Whether you are seeking a solo trip or looking for a romantic getaway for two, this shepherd's hut is a wonderful space in a perfect location to explore North Wales.
The lovely abode enjoys a secluded spot, sitting in the furthest point of the Nantcol valley and facing the Ardudwy Way, so guests can enjoy a lack of traffic and switch off from the busyness of everyday life.
The farm that the hut rests on also boasts a historic connection, as Colnel John was brought up here, the brother-in-law to Cromwell; you can find out even more about this in the kindly provided welcome file.
Take three steps up into the hut, where a warm and welcoming studio-style living space greets you; rustic features such as oak panels, beams and cottage-style furnishings make for a quaint setting to unwind after the day's adventures.
Use the kitchen area to rustle up simple, easy meals, before starting the woodburning stove and settling into the seating area to rest tired feet; why not plug your tablet into the USB socket and enjoy your favourite on-demand show?
The double bed is a snug space to crawl under the sheets and restore, ready for another day by the coast or in the mountains.
Moelfre - Shepherds Hut has the bonus of underfloor heating, perfect for those colder months and making the morning walk to the shower room an easy one.
Don't forget to drape your towel on the heated towel rail for extra comfort after you've rinsed off in the walk-in shower.
Make the most of your beautiful surroundings in the outdoor area at the front of the hut, where you can dine alfresco at the picnic bench, enjoy a hot cup of coffee from the Lavazza machine on the outdoor seating whilst the sun rises, or climb into the log fired hot tub for an evening of stargazing.
The hut enjyos easy access to a range of magical walks nearby, which weave through Rhinog Fach, Rhinog Fawr, Moelfre and Llethr; whilst the idyllic lake of Cwm Bychan sits in the next valley, surrounded by enchanting woodland.
Explore your local surroundings by taking a short journey into Llanbedr, a quiet village with two excellent pubs, charming cafés and walking or cycling trails taking you into Eryri (Snowdonia's) mountains.
For strolling along uninterrupted stretches of sand with mountain views, head north to Harlech, a bustling seaside resort; get takeaway fish & chips before heading to the beach or explore Harlech's impressive castle and high streets.
Lying south of the hut, Barmouth is another coastal delight with the spectacular Traeth Abermaw Beach, perfect for swimming or relaxing on the sand, whilst the town hosts a number of charming shops and eateries to discover, before climbing up to Dinas Oleu for panoramic views of the fantastic coastline.
Sitting within reach of Snowdonia's breath-taking landscapes, as well as golden sandy beaches and postcard-perfect towns, escape to Moelfre - Shepherds Hut to explore the best of North Wales.
