About Snowdonia Glamping Holidays

A peaceful off-grid corner of North Wales ideally located in the stunning Snowdonia National Park, with nearby lakes and mountains waiting to be explored. You'll have two shepherd's huts all to yourself, one is your sleeping accommodation for up to two people and the other is a private shower and sauna. There is a double bed complete with luxury bedding and a traditional Welsh blanket. Decorations include a dresser, extra blankets, books, maps, board games and binoculars for bird watching. There's also a wood-burner to keep you cosy. There's also the option of having a bell tent put up adjacent to the shepherd's huts, to sleep up to two children. It includes two single air beds, towels, duvets, pillows and torches. Outside you'll have your own fire bowl, perfect for marshmallow toasting. The bathroom hut is complete with a flushing toilet, powerful hot shower, sink and a great Scandinavian wood burning sauna with a basket of wood provided. For cooking, there's a well-equipped outdoor kitchen behind the huts which overlooks the stream, complete with a big gas BBQ, a gas ring, sink, a cool box, crockery, cooking utensils and tea towels. You'll have access to your own fridge freezer a short walk away by the owner's house. This is the perfect spot for unwinding after a busy day exploring, as you'll be in a Dark Sky Reserve. So sit back and unwind in the sauna or around the fire pit...make sure to keep an eye out for the local wildlife, including foxes, hares, badgers and barn owls! Unfortunately dogs are not allowed onsite.

The shepherd's huts are open from 20th March to 30th October and the glamping barns are open all year round.

A note from the site themselves...

We feel so lucky to have found this place and made it our home - and we love to share it with our guests! When we moved here from Edinburgh our aim was to create a haven for wildlife and visitors, as well as for ourselves and later, our growing family.

We fixed the house up as well as we could so we could live in it, and then set about buying the piece of land by the river and building the shepherds' huts. Once the sheep were relocated, wildflowers appeared as if by magic and wildlife moved in as if it had been just waiting in the wings for someone to create a home for it.

The meadow is now home to hares, frogs and toads, newts, badgers and foxes as well as many other smaller creatures.

Building the huts was a labour of love, Richard worked away to find the project then built the huts on the weekend whilst I'd look after our kids who are not as little anymore. After they were asleep, I remember taking the baby monitor and a head torch outside to get some painting done!

We were so proud when they were finally finished and in place - towing them down the track to the spot where they now live was a nerve-wracking day - we weren't sure if they'd still be in one piece when we got them there and there was a lot of winching backwards and forwards to get them just right.

They were the only shepherds' huts in North Wales when we welcomed our first guests in 2013. Everyone enjoyed the novelty of them, when "glamping" was hardly even a word. We've made a lot of improvements since the early days…the sauna is fabulous! Although we love having guests, I admit that we do like the winter when the huts are closed and we can enjoy the sauna too!
