Snowdonia Glamping Holidays

Just spent three nights at these beautiful shepherds huts - really unique and cosy in an amazing setting. One of the huts has a sauna in it which was a great treat after a day climbing Snowden. Great location and lots of homely touches with really welcoming hosts - absolutely loved our stay there and can't recommend it highly enough!

We stayed for 2 nights but I wish I had booked for longer; amazing place and the peace and quiet was total!  Spotlessly clean and all the fixtures and equpment were high quality (lovely bedding).  Hazel and Richard have made sure everything's as eco-friendly as it possibly could be.  Fire pit and outdoor cooking facility were great, as was the hot shower and sauna at the end of the day.  No passing traffic or walkers ensures a complete and private break.  Will definitely be coming back and can highly recommend it.

My husband booked the shepherd's huts as a surprise for my birthday and I couldn't have been more delighted by what we found! Arriving from work at 11.30 pm we were met by home made scones and a thermos of hot chocolate, and after lighting the fire we had the perfect cosy home for the night! Despite the raging wind we were so cosy in the huts, and didn't feel the chill even once, far from it! The view from the huts was beautiful, rolling hills and an abundance of bird wildlife and heaps of lambs. We spent our day riding through the local countryside but the appeal of a campfire was too much and we were back in the late afternoon making full advantage of the excellent facilities. An amazing touch was the sauna in the second hut which was so unique! Everything had been thought of, from the well stocked outdoor kitchen to the pre chopped wood and home made cakes - Hazel was so welcoming and friendly and went out of her way to make sure our stay was special - which it truly was. We only got to stay for 2 nights but could have stayed much longer. It was the most peaceful and relaxing place to be! Thank you for creating such a fantastic retreat, we will definitely be back!

This is the perfect half-way point between camping and a luxury tented “glamping” shared-site experience. Tucked away not far from the A5 and Bewts-y-Coed the Snowdonia Shepherds huts aren’t too isolated but give you the feeling of isolation and being cut-off from the world. The sauna and bathroom hut will be a revelation for those used to roughing it and the comfort, design and well-thought-out features of the living hut and camp kitchen make this a real delight for a couple of days well away from the real world.

This is an absolutely lovely place to spend time; we stayed in the huts over New Year and not even the storms could dampen our experience. 

The huts were so warm and cosy it was unbelievable; we didn't even need the extra blankets available as the burners worked so well.

Hazel and Richard make sure you have everything you need; including space and peace. A truly wonderful place that we shall be going back too.

Stopped 19th, 20th of July. Arrived in the most beautiful location. Sheppard huts where amazing. As the Welsh would say “LUSH”. Richard and Hazel have done a magnificent job. Will definitely be returning and couldn't recommend enough. The place is so relaxing and the sauna was fantastic. Pitch black at night with the night sky so clear all the stars were flickering away. You truly would not be disappointed, just a shame we only had 2 days. 

I had arranged the trip as an anniversary present for my husband. I can only reiterate what everyone else has said. The huts are well placed for peace and tranquility and enjoying nature yet there is much to see and do close by.  We had a fantastic five days that were enhanced by our hosts Hazel & Richard who catered for our every need. They had good local knowledge which helped with planning our days. They also provided homely touches ie homemade goodies such as jam and lemonade which added to the experience. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends looking for a luxury glamping experience. We plan to return next year :)

What an absolute dream of a glamping site!! We were so cosy in our little hut and didn't even mind that it rained half the time! The covered cooking area certainly came in handy!! The sauna is amazing and such peace and quiet is hard to come by.  Thank you for providing such a beautiful space xx Cassie and Nick xx

Staying at the huts was a real pleasure. Owners Hazel and Richard made us feel very welcome and had thought of every detail needed for a cosy and comfortable camping experience. It was lovely to be welcomed with a jug of homemade lemonade on arrival and the breakfasts were deliciously different every day. We really enjoyed cooking over the fire pit. The location is the perfect tranquil getaway but with all the activities of the national park within easy reach. The huts were one of the main reasons for choosing Snowdonia as our holiday destination and we were not disappointed. A lovely, relaxing and unique place.

What a wonderful location to relax, unwind and get away from it all!  Myself, my husband and my 12 year old son have just returned from a lovely break in Hazel and Richards shepherds huts. 

The huts are lovely and cosy, in a perfect rural location, but with plenty of luxury touches to add to your experience.  Sadly as we only stayed for one night we didn't get to try out the sauna, but we will definitely be returning for a longer stay.

Hazel and Richard have thought of everything to make this a first class camping experience.  We would recommend a visit to to this beautiful corner of Snowdonia to anyone who wants to get back to nature while still retaining a touch of luxury!

My partner and I thought about going off to Rome for our 10 year anniversary, or Florence. But when we decided what we wanted to get out of the trip was simply some quality time together away from our hectic day-to-day routine, we reconsidered and chose Snowdonia. 

Normally we'd just bring the tent, but we wanted somewhere with a few more creature comforts for this special occasion. I specifically wanted there to be no phone signal and no-one else very near. 

To say that Hazel and Richard's Shepherds' Hut delivered would be a bit of an understatement. It was truly perfect for what we wanted, and totally nailed the balance of being comfy (and warm!) while giving a proper wilderness feel.

We loved cooking in the outdoor kitchen, and wrapped up warm to stay out round the fire enjoying the amazing stars, trying to spot the elusive barn owl! And my worries about being chilly were utterly unnecessary - the woodburner in the hut turns it into the cosiest nest imaginable! 

We were delighted by all the thoughtful homely touches and obvious care that has gone into building and creating this wonderful place to stay. The sounds and scents of nature struck us immediately getting out of the car, and we felt the stress lifting! If you want somewhere romantic to 'get away from it all' but still be handy for plenty of fun activities, I can think of nowhere more ideal.

We wish Hazel and Richard every success for the future, and look forward to returning to Snowdonia soon. 

Simply the most beautiful, relaxing place to stay. Hazel and Richard are amiable, welcoming hosts who have thought of literally everything you can possibly need down to the tiniest detail. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook a banquet if you so choose and furnishings are luxurious and cosy. The bed linen is 5 star quality although barely needed with how toasty you can get the "living hut" with the multi fuel burner. Stocked with plenty of wood you can rest assured you will have everything you need. The water from their very own spring is clear and deliciously fresh. Hazel and Richard even gave us some eggs from their very own hens as a treat. The fire pit is large enough to get a roaring fire going so you can sit out long into the evening - just don't forget the marshmallows. My partner and I only stayed for one night after climbing Snowdon but we shall definitely return for longer - Snowdonia Shepherds Huts are an enchanting slice of tranquility and far removed from your average holiday. You cannot see or hear anyone for miles bar some bleating sheep and the stars are so beautiful. We have already started telling our friends to visit. Thank you Hazel and Richard for a lovely weekend - see you soon!

Thanks to Hazel and Richard for a truly wonderful stay. If you are contemplating visiting - trust us you definitely should.  

Whatever the weather the huts are wonderful - the log burner really makes for a cosy stay, the welcome basket is a really nice touch and we would definitely recommend the breakfasts! 

We stayed for two nights and were genuinely sad to have to leave - we will definitely be returning and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends. After climbing snowdon, to return to a wood burning sauna, was a real treat. Hazel and Richard really have thought of everything you could need - I've never felt so relaxed - a truly magical place to come and stay. Thanks again, Alice & Owain 

Just returned from a fantastic two nights in the shepherds' huts. Richard and Hazel were brilliant and welcoming hosts, the homemade lemonade and ginger bread very much appreciated after a long day of walking. The location is magical, a beautifully remote and tranquil spot with only the sound of a babbling brook, birds and sheep for company. Huts themselves were very luxurious and met our every need! Highly recommended.  

Had a wonderful stay here in April with my boyfriend. Beautiful setting & incredibly relaxing experience. Hazel & Richard, the owners, were very welcoming...we were very spoilt. Betwys-y-Coed is a gorgeous little town, I would DEFINITELY recommend staying in these huts whatever the weather.
