Brook Cottage Shepherd Huts

• Minimum stay: 2-3 nights

The proud winner of a Visit Wales Gold Award, Brook Cottage Shepherd Huts comprises five luxurious hand-crafted havens secluded in North Wales, close to Pwllheli on the Llŷn Peninsula, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Surrounded by fresh air, ancient woodland and uninterrupted mountain views, the private, adults-only site also boasts a shimmering wildlife lake and a wildflower meadow, for an escape that feels like unwinding in natural paradise.

Featured on the popular BBC TV show Interior Design Masters, it’s no surprise that this multiple award-winning retreat has also been recognised – by the Guardian, The Times, and countless others – as one of the UK’s best glamping stays.

Owners Joss and Steve have personally seen to it that whichever unique hut you choose, you’ll feel calm and comforted from the moment you step inside. Each is also named in tribute to a notable woman from the reign of Llywelyn the Great, for a suitably regal mood!

A luxury shepherd’s hut, Joan is the largest of the quintet, opening straight out to that beautiful lake for peaceful, sun-dappled mornings of wildlife-watching (keep an eye out for herons and kingfishers, and even the occasional grazing deer). Your four-legged friend is more than welcome to join you here, too.

Susanna and Angharad are both sumptuous poachers’ huts with bespoke styling and mesmerising views, both also opening out to the lake. Susanna’s calming design echoes the sea around the peninsula, while dog-friendly Angharad’s décor is inspired by the surrounding hills and mountains.

Meanwhile, Marared and Elen are idyllic lake-view gypsy huts, both styled with home-from-home warmth and relaxation firmly in mind. And with no Wi-Fi anywhere on site, your scene is set for the ultimate digital detox.

More information

Your chosen hut features full self-contained facilities (well, this is glamping after all!), as well as a romantic wood-burning stove and an irresistibly cosy double bed. Not to mention complimentary, hand-made organic goats’ milk soap and shampoo for indulgent freshen-ups.

What to do after you’ve unpacked? Relax in your private outdoor space (there’s a barbecue and firepit for star-filled evenings, too) or simply curl up with a good book. If you’ve brought your dog along, there are some wonderful walks to savour just outside the door: so many, that Joss and Steve have curated their own collection of favourite local routes especially for guests.

Slightly further afield await award-winning beaches, quaint coastal towns, ancient castles, and thrill-seeking adventures… from wild watersports to whizzing along the world’s fastest zipline at the iconic Zip World!

In fact, there’s so much to see, do, and experience in this incredible part of the world that you could find yourselves booking stays in each Brook Cottage Shepherd Hut, for five-star holidays that feel refreshingly different every time.

Things to note

Two-night minimum stay (three nights over Bank Holidays). Group bookings of up to 10 adults can be arranged on request (no hen or stag parties). If bringing your dog to stay in Joan or Angharad, please let the owners know on booking. Please note that this is an adults-only site, and there is no Wi-Fi for a peaceful digital detox, though a good mobile signal should be available.
