About Cae Main Shepherds Hut
This comfortable hut is centrally positioned for exploring The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB. Its nearest town is picturesque Ruthin, and the pretty inland resorts of Llangollen and Bala are only 30 minutes away. Sleeping two, the hut is stylish, practical and cosy. The comfortable bed comes with a memory foam mattress and a 100% British wool duvet to keep you nice and cosy. Fully electric, the kitchenette includes a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. Outside you can cook up a treat with the BBQ grid over the firepit. Placing the 'Jean Patrique' lazy pan on top of the grid lets you rustle up bacon and eggs and all sorts of treats over the campfire! You can even buy the farm's free range eggs in the little honesty shop to cook for breakfast. Fairtrade coffee and teas are supplied and a little jug of milk for your cuppa on arrival. Also included are marshmallows and a campfire starter pack with firewood, firelighters and matches. Electric and WiFi is all provided too. An electric stove heats up the shepherd's hut quickly for instant fuss free warmth. Double glazed French doors and windows and full insulation make the hut suitable for all year round stays. The luxury bathroom facilities are located inside the amenity Hut, only 20m along a well lit gravel path. A generous sized walk in shower, flushing toilet, towels and handmade soap are provided for you. Also located in the amenity Hut is a book swap and a little honesty shop selling some fine Welsh foods from small food and drink producers. If the weather is a bit wet and windy, you can snuggle up in the sheltered seating area - Cwtch. Take in those amazing views and embrace the outdoors even if the sun isn't quite shining. Fairy lights inside the Cwtch adds to this cosy yet practical feature within the glamping site. The picturesque inland resort of Llangollen which offers river walks, a steam train and horse drawn canal trips is only 30 minutes away. Water based activities such as kayacking are also popular In Llangollen along the River Dee. The lakeside resort of Bala is another watersports hub!

My friend and I stayed here for one night. We had a nice walk around the local lanes before heading back to light a fire, have a hot chocolate as the sun set over the fields in front of the hut, then inside to get cosy and relax for the night. The toilet and shower rooms were very nice, the facilities in the hut itself were great - all new and in good working order. The bed was comfy and plenty of cushions and blankets available. The area is lovely and quiet. Ample parking space, lots of privacy, friendly helpful owner and couldn't fault anything ๐๐ป
My favourite place to escape...

I have stayed at the hut a few times now, it is my fave place to escape to in the UK! Delyth the host is so helpful and accommodating, always on hand to help out and answer any questions. The hut itself is very secluded, with absolute privacy guaranteed. Spotlessly clean and super cosy. Lots of little touches to make it feel like home, I love visiting here and will be back for sure!
Wonderful place!

We have stayed here several times, and each time we can't wait to come back! Where to start... it is immaculately clean, with everything you could need for a short stay. The bed is super comfortable and longer than you would expect in a Shepherds hut, my partner is 6ft and he slept with no issues. There is a fire pit outside with wood supplied and a griddle to put over the pit so that you can have a little BBQ if you like. I would take a lighter as if it's a damp night, the matches supplied may not light. We also took extra fire lighters, which came in handy too. On to the spectacular views, well what can I say, they are absolutely fantastic from all directions. You also have complete privacy as there is nobody around and where the hut is situated is not overlooked by anything. The bathroom and toilet facilities are just yards away from the hut, with a well lit pathway for the evening. Another fab facility is the outdoor shelter, which means you can still sit outside and enjoy the countryside with a drink even if it's raining! The host is fantastic and you will be greeted with some lovely little extras, which are locally produced. These included hand made chocolate and marshmallows (for toasting on the fire pit) tea, coffee, sugar and a little jug of milk to start you off. Lots of information is also provided with regards to places to visit and eat, and I would highly recommend the Leyland Arms, which is only a short drive away (pre book if you can). We can not recommend this special place enough to anyone looking to get away from it all. We will be booking again very soon!
