Break away from the every day with a serene stay at this quaint Shepherd's Hut, based on the southern side of Snowdonia National Park and surrounded by miles and miles of open fields and lush green forests. This home truly lets you get back to nature – the unique design combines all the best parts of camping with all the luxuries you're used to, and with no wi-fi signal, you can get back to living in the present. Ideal for romance-seeking couples, best friends looking to bond, and solo travellers who want to get back to themselves. Although the home looks tiny from the outside, inside you'll find room for you both to stretch out and relax, with a dining set for tucking into delicious Welsh cakes with a cup of tea, as well as a lounge area with a TV for chilling out. When you set foot outside, you'll immediately be greeted by the green and pleasant lands that make Snowdonia so sought-after for hikers.
