Shepherd Hut "Megan" in beautiful quiet location


Megan is a lovely warm and comfortable Shepherds Hut overlooking the Dee Valley
We have located it in a lovely spot overlooking the Valley with car parking right next to the Hut. The facilities are completely self contained therefore social distancing can be maintained
Heating is by a small but effective electric radiator.
Dining table for two inside the hut with two fold away chairs if you want a little more room.
Private shower and toilet facilities
Outside a private table and chairs offer alfresco dining overlooking the lovely valley. There is also a well equipped camp kitchen just opposite the Hut with indoor dining for four if required ,
Up to two small dogs are allowed in the Shepherds Hut but we do ask that you state the breeds before booking and don't forget to tick the dog box on your booking form.

Our stay in Megan
What a hidden gem! We thoroughly loved our time and didn’t want to leave, such stunning views and a complete retreat. Dee and Peter were wonderful hosts, and we can’t wait to go back in August! Thanks for such a super time!

What a lovely spot to stay, beautiful surroundings, calm, peaceful and relaxing. The shepherd's hut is comfy and cosy, the kitchen building has everything needed for self-catering. It's not the Ritz - but wants the Ritz, this is way better! The hosts were helpful and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better break.

Peaceful
We had a lovely time, very peaceful, nice people and nice and clean, our only criticism was no outside lighting whatsoever, so was abit scary when you needed the toilet during the night, which would of been OK if we had of known because we would of took a torch.

Brilliant sray, great accommodation, good clean and equipped facilities. Geese are wonderful as is the footballing dog. Llamas keep themselves to themselves. Good access to walking from ‘home’ as it were. Highly reccommended.

Amazing experience. Pete and Dee were very hospitable. Two inquisitive Llamas, Geese next to the hut, a cute Dog who loved to show off her football skills, Chickens and a friendly Cat who made us feel at home... Would certainly recommend for a relaxing holiday!
