Is Tan Y Castell Shepherds Hut Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This property is not suitable for children. The shepherds hut sleeps only two guests in one king-size bed with no additional sleeping space. The location on a working farm with livestock and elevated mountain position requires supervision. The studio layout lacks separate rooms. The access road is narrow and the surrounding terrain includes steep hillside paths that present safety concerns for young families.
For Couples
Perfect for couples wanting complete privacy and mountain scenery. The king-size bed and studio layout create an intimate space for two. Watch sunsets over the valley and listen to owls at dusk. The fire pit provides cosy evenings under the stars. Walk hand-in-hand along footpaths from the doorstep. Llangollen's restaurants are just five minutes away for dinner dates. The peaceful farm setting means no neighbours and total seclusion.

Tan Y Castell Shepherds Hut Reviews

Just perfect! A spacious and well equipped shepherds hut. The views of the surrounding countryside, hills and castle stretch out before you with the town of Llangollen in walking distance. An incredible getaway. We will definitely book it again.
Excellent accommodation, very. warm and conformable. Access is interesting, property in high in the hills, single track road with passing places approx. 2 miles I am 83 I found the drive challenging. Not a critism just an obersvation. I intent to try and go back.
This is our second stay in this property and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. We walked over 20 miles in 2 days off the doorstep and when the weather turned we were cosy in the hut. The views are lovely and we enjoyed listening to the owls calling to each other at dusk. The town is close by with an Aldi and the property has everything we needed to self cater. Parking is great. Cant wait to come back again!
Louise
A really lovely shepherd's hut in the most stunning scenery. It had everything we needed, more space than we expected was clean and well designed through out. The sheep were great neighbours! Could not fault it. Would love to go again
What an amazing place, very secluded with gorgeous views. We loved to just sit and listen to the sheep and look at the view. The hut is very well equipped, everything we would need was supplied. Very clean and comfortable. A lot bigger than some huts we've stayed in. The turning down to the hut is quite tight if you have a big car, we did struggle a bit.
The Shepherds Hut is located on a working farm with outstanding views. We had a very relaxing week filled with long walks, bike rides and visits to surrounding towns and villages. The hut was equipped with everything we needed for the week, and we had a brilliant time.
Clarice
Lovely spacious shepherds hut on a working farm but set back on its own. Great views and walks, and the friendly owner checked in on us to make sure all was good. Hoping to return sometime.
My husband and I stayed here for our wedding anniversary. We wanted a quiet and peaceful few nights away and we couldnt have chosen a better place. Hut was very cosy and spotlessly clean with a stunning view. Lots of lovely walks nearby. Was so nice to listen to the sheep chatting away every day. Would happily stay here again!
This Shepherds hut is one of the best places weve ever stayed. Its got good parking, its spotless, nice fresh towels and bedding, had everything we needed and the most amazing views. We did miles of walking off the doorstep as its straight onto footpaths. The sunsets were beautiful and we were super lucky with the weather. Will definitely stay here again we loved every minute!
Absolutely loved our stay here! It was everything we wanted. The location is perfect and the view is really something else. I loved the privacy of it and how you could come and go as you please. Wales has such a special place in my heart. I have already recommended it to family and friends and I am already dying to get back. Beautiful place.
An oasis of peace and quiet. Everything you need and more in this lovely shepherds hut. Thankyou.
Excellent accommodation and superb views to wake up to. Hosts were courteous and helpful to any queries. The shepherds hut was very comfortable and clean and fully equipped with everything required.
Louise
A lovely little place in a great location. Peaceful, private and everything you needed. A little gem! Thanks for a great stay.
Amanda
We had the best time staying at the shepherds hut! Weve enjoyed our peace and quiet, and our privacy! Although located in a mountain, it was not too far from town centre, just less than 10mins drive. It is also located near the castle ruins, which we managed to hike on our second day. Thank you very much for having us! Definitely we are coming back!
Tan y Castell is Beautifully done inside & Out. The location and views are outstanding. Sarah & Paul are fantastic hosts. They allowed us to feed the Lambs, which was lovely. It was such a lovely relaxing break, you just need to be prepared to be woken by the noise of the sheep & lambs. Thank you Jon & Kate we will be returning.
A perfect place! , absolutely perfect! Felt like home
Michael
A lovely little hideaway, with perfect views all around. Easy access to a lot of walking trails, and a stones throw away from Dinas Bran castle. Also on footpaths that go directly to Llangollen. Facilities provided are all you could ever need, and were exceptionally clean on our arrival. Also, the inclusion of a fire pit made the evenings extra cosy. If the weather conditions are poor the hut has underfloor heating, so you won't notice the cold. I would recommend staying here to anybody who likes the countryside, I doubt you would be able to get better views at any other property around Llangollen.
Lovely clean and spacious Unreal views Would 100 recommend if your after a quiet getaway
Maxine
The Shepherds hut was perfect base for exploring the local area. The hut inside was immaculate warm and cosy and everything you needed was there.
We had a lovely stay at the Shepherds Hut. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and had everything we needed. The location and views were perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Michael
A lovely place to stay with wonderful scenery, Part way up a mountain so quiet and secluded but with plenty of lovely sheep wondering about. Breath taking views and only 5 mins drive from a lovely little town with some further great views and plenty of places to eat etc. Highly recommended.
This beautiful Shepherds Hut sits in an idyllic spot above in the valley just above the town of Llangollen. Set on a working farm with views of Dinas Castle and the rolling mountains far off into the distance. The hut has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, it was spotlessly clean, cosy, peaceful, relaxing and the owners Helen and Mark were very welcoming. If you enjoy wildlife this is definitely the place to stay with the sheep roaming freely and the pheasants majestically flying around, just take your binoculars along lots more to see. Plenty of walking paths easily accessible from the hut too. Our weekend break was just what was needed to top up the batteries and we will be back.
Anne-marie
The Shepherds hut was beautiful and the surrounding landscape was breathtaking. The hosts Helen and Mark were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. We cant wait to go back again. If you want a relaxing holiday to escape from all the stress, this definitely is the place. Would highly recommend 1010.
Stuart
Absolutely incredible place to stay. The venue its self is perfect. Spotless, cosy, comfy and every thing you need. Scenery is out of this world! The pictures dont do it justice to just how beautiful it is. Will 100 be returning frequently.
Brilliant last minute find! From the moment we arrived we loved the place. Amazing views, the accommodation was spotless and really modern. Would love to own something like this ourselves. Will be returning at some stage. What 3 words helped us find the plot easy. Cant speak more highly of the 2 night stay. Thank you
Maureen
Used as a base to explore North Wales been to Wales many, many times over the years but never stayed in such an amazing location. It has to be experienced to appreciate the perfect, peaceful location, close enough to Llangollen to visit with lots of places to eat. Shepherds Hut has a hob and microwave to cook for yourself, extremely clean and comfortable inside and out. Amazing views, you don't have to venture any further if you just want to sit and relax, soaking in the views. Lots of different walks and drives up and down to Llangollen and other areas. Castle Dinas within walking distance. Beautiful panoramic walks in surrounding area. Would highly recommend if you want a relaxing break or as a base to go exploring!
