Shepherd's Hut - Ensuite Stag Lodge with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Aug 2026

The little hut was amazing, the owners really have thought of everything with great attention to detail. You have everything you need and more, everything is thought of down to providing fresh milk there was even fresh flowers. Hot tub was a great addition and easy to operate, the bedding was excellent quality with a nice comfortable bed and decent pillows (none of these flat hotel pillows). Kitchen came with everything needed to rustle up a meal. All in all this was a great stay and we will definitely be back.

A note from the site themselves...

Banwy Glamping is a family run business set up by husband and wife Andy and Sarah with help from son Angus.

The pods are situated in a five acre site with access to the River Banwy on our farm in the Welsh hills.

We wanted to create holiday lets that utilised Andy's previous experience building log cabins and bespoke timber buildings whilst being able to showcase the beautiful part of Wales that we are fortunate enough to call home.
