The signal to the tv and Wi-Fi were a little problematic but the host is sorting this out with a tv engineer.

The hut is set in a lovely location and within beautiful scenery. There is a running stream at the bottom of the garden. The drive up to the hut is through a wooded winding lane which is very quiet and beautiful. The hut is modern and clean. The mattress is very comfortable. The host Martin is very helpful and he runs the local inn. The food served at Ty Gwynn was home cooked and very good.

What a hidden gem ! A stunning picture postcard Shepherd hut in a beautiful tranquil setting yet everything within reach. The hut was immaculate with thoughtful extras like fluffy white towels,warm dressing gowns & disposable slippers for the hot tub,a jug of milk and even a bottle of Prosecco which were lovely touches. Martin and his wife were the perfect hosts, very friendly and helpful,always out of sight but on the end of the phone if needed . We were very lucky with the weather in early April and made the most of the area; Betws-Y-Coed,Swallow Falls,Porthmadog, Black Rock Sands and Snowdon-the hot tub was much needed after that adventure ! Yet we still found time to enjoy the peaceful setting to relax and unwind. We also had a lovely meal at Martins Hotel- Ty Gwyn Hotel on our last evening which was beautifully presented,piping hot and welcoming friendly service. Would we return…. ? Most definitely

We struggled getting towels and any damp clothes dry. A small washing line outside would be ideal.

Property was lovely and clean! Great location and wonderful host.

Great 2 night break, specifically looked for something different in this area, with a hot tub. Beautifully decorated and maintained in an exceptional location view wise and within walking distance to the town. Bed is very comfortable and had a great sleep with it being so quiet with the shower roomy for a shepherd's hut. Loved the hot tub after a hike up to swallow falls and back. Host Martin was brilliant nothing too much trouble. We ate twice at his family hotel/restaurant at the bottom of the hill as the menu is varied and the cooking outstanding and not expensive for what is available/portion size (lovely half a lobster with prawns and crayfish and half a duck). Would highly recommend.

Not really a negative but the bathroom door was difficult to close at the bottom. It could do with a couple of coat hooks for the towelling robes that were kindly provided.

The shepherds hut is in an ideal location, away from the town (so nice and peaceful but a short walk away), and just perfect for a romantic weekend away. The bed was very comfortable. The log burner kept us nice and snug at night. It had everything that we needed, including a fridge in the outdoor kitchen and the use of the BBQ. There were even 2 complimentary bottles of Prosecco ready for our arrival. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. We stayed in it until the early hours, star gazing and listening to the running stream in the background. Martin, the host, was extremely helpful and made us feel at home. He even came and met us in the town and showed us where the hut was. Nothing was too much bother. We even had morning visits from Lyra, Martin's dog, who was after a belly rub or two! We will definitely be back to stay in the shepherds hut.

The location is amazing, It’s the perfect base to explore the national park from. The area around the hut is really peaceful too with good views and the sound of a running stream. The hut itself was clean, had everything we needed and is bigger than other huts I’ve stayed in! Martin was really welcoming and got us a table at his restaurant too which had great food. I would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing location, people and place. Cannot fault it in the slightest. Bloody amazing!!!!

The location was quite hard to find - make sure you get directions or chat to the owner before setting off!

Very picturesque location, clean, comfortable and cosy. A short (but steep and strenuous!) walk down into Betws down a private footpath. The owner also runs and operates a pub in the town, which I would highly recommend for dinner - the food was exceptional.

The time went far to fast.

We liked this accommodation and hot tub location. We felt that we had the place to ourselves. The owners were on tap if we wanted them but left us alone to enjoy peace and quiet. It was a beautiful location. It felt remote but wasn't at all. The owners had a hotel on the main road with outstanding food. Beautiful place to eat .

Booking.com needs to change the location it should be 53.084685,-3.788396 The only real fault is there was no welcome hamper with the likes of local milk and meat. Or at last be an option for extra £

It's very quirky and looked great. It's meant to be different and I liked that.

needs a lot of wood to keep the hot tub going but once we got the hang of it it was lovely getting in and out of the drive was a bit tricky with being up hill and on a bend

it was very quaint and a bit quirky just how we like it. very clean on arrival was a good base for us as we walk a lot and loved the town

Stayed in October 2022

It's a bit tricky to find & the access road is single track which made it interesting when meeting someone coming the other way! Once we'd driven it in daylight, we were fine.

Great location, fantastic views & cute accommodation. Owner was great & we ate at Ty Gwyn hotel- the food was delicious

We had the most wholesome stay over the past weekend at Shephards hut. The hosts were lovely and the dog was very friendly! We felt that the hosts were very accomodating and helpful whilst also allowing us privacy throughout our stay. The town is only a 20 minute walk away! The walk down is steep at parts so make sure you’re wearing appropriate shoes. Highly recommend!
