Property Overview

Glöyn Byw is the Welsh word for butterfly - named after the numerous different species seen fluttering around the surrounding wildflower meadow. In the foothills of the Black Mountains, with wonderful views down the Wye Valley and away to the Brecon Beacons, this spacious and wonderfully designed shepherds hut really is the perfect setting for a luxury escape for two.

Property Details

The Space
On arrival, you will find your fridge stocked with a luxury hamper of local produce ready for a sumptuous breakfast in the morning. The hut has a fully equipped kitchen which includes cooker, hob, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine, toaster and fridge with ice box.

The hut boasts underfloor heating and a wood burner, however, when the weather permits, you can spend your nights snuggled up around the fire-pit toasting marshmallows or watching the stars in the night sky. You'll also find a Sonos music speaker, along with a Smart TV, in the hut.

Glöyn Byw benefits from a king size bed with plush bedding for lazy lie-ins.

The bathroom is a stylish space with a twin, rainfall shower.

This wonderful countryside location creates the perfect setting to get away from it all. After a day exploring the Welsh countryside, light up the fire, wrap up in a blanket on the hanging twin egg chair and watch the moon rise over the mountains.

Neighborhood
Glöyn Byw is situated on the Wales/Herefordshire border, only five miles from the famous book town of Hay-on-Wye - known for its second-hand bookshops and literary festival. Mid Wales offers a wealth of things to keep you occupied; whether it be outdoor pursuits or visiting the many historic towns and villages.

The site is situated in the foothills of the Black Mountains and only a few miles from the Brecon Beacons and the Offas Dyke Trail. There are also several cycling routes in the area, while the River Wye is two miles away, with Llangorse Lake being five miles away.

You can expect the most stunning landscapes across the national park as well as a whole host of activities to take part in. With over 1,200 miles of public rights of way, you can enjoy a stroll or cycle as you breathe in the fresh air. Adventurers will love the water-sports, rock climbing, abseiling and caving activities on offer. Those looking for a more laidback retreat can enjoy stargazing, shopping and the many restaurants, pubs and cafes throughout the park.

lovely hut, nice and cosy just what we needed. just abit low to respond to messages. Everything had clear instructions and quite easy to follow. I did message earlier in week if there was milk, egg, bread and butter available, was told there wouldn't l, but actually they did provide a lovely breakfast hamper. Just ended up taking what I'd bought back home, minor inconvenience. Very private, it was 4 hours from us, would love to find something just like this but closer for a quick relaxed mini break. super cosy, clean including dishes, utensils pans etc, as I cooked there. We don't drink alcohol or eat pork, sausages, I did inform the host that we don't drink alcohol, but found there was a few things in fridge which we don't drink or eat. This may have been because I did inform them one or two days before we were going, which was quite short notice. Overall, great place, private outdoor hot tub was our favourite thing at the hut, thank for having us.

We had a lovely and peaceful stay at Glöyn Byw. Easy to find with surroundings which made for beautiful views from the hot tub. Personal touches left by host meant that we did not go without anything and the host was very responsive with all queries. Cant wait to stay again!
