COVERED HOT TUB | FIRE PIT | PET FRIENDLY | PARKING

Mayflower Shepherd's Hut is a romantic retreat for two in Mid Wales. Offering dog friendly stays near Rhayader, an idyllic market town on the River Wye. Mayflower Shepherd's Hut has a log burner, a private hot tub and garden space. Walk from the doorstep to Gilfach Nature Reserve, or explore the spectacular Elan Valley. There are plenty of options for outdoor sports enthusiasts and treats for foodies locally.

This brand new Shepherd's Hut is surrounded by the rolling landscapes of Mid Wales. Its solid hand crafted woodwork, log burner and luxurious king sized bed make this a cosy retreat at any time of year. What's more, it's a pet friendly shepherd's hut, so your four legged friend can enjoy a holiday too!

The beautifully crafted kitchenette has a two ring hob, combi microwave-oven, fridge, toaster and kettle. So you can dine out in the local town of Rhayader, pick up a takeaway or whip up a tasty meal or barbecue back at your homely little bolthole for two.

On chilly Autumn nights, underfloor heating will keep you toasty warm. Or light up the charming little wood burner and get cosy on the plush King size bed. Switch on the Smart TV and get stuck into your favourite series on Netflix as you snuggle up together.

The neat shower room comes complete with hand basin, flushing WC, shower & heated towel rail.

If relaxing is what you need, this really is the place for you. With its outdoor decked area complete with private hot tub, fire pit and outdoor seating for alfresco dining. Where better to crack open a bottle of bubbly and watch the sun go down over the rolling hills. Heavenly!

Mayflower Shepherd's Hut is amongst the best dog friendly holidays in Wales' beautiful scenery. The breathtaking Elan Valley & Gilfach Nature Reserve are perfect for walking in the fresh air.

Me and my boyfriend had a wonderful four night stay at Mayflower. It has everything you need for a cosy getaway. The hot tub being under cover also means all facilities can be enjoyed whatever the weather. We will definitely be back.



Excellent stay, highly recommended

A wonderful place to switch off from stresses and work. The hot tub is amazing. The little extra touches from the owners were appreciated - being able to arrive and make a drink with the fresh milk was much needed. Pretty villages and towns nearby to explore but lovely to come back to the romantic shepherd's hut and hot tub. This was our second visit and we will be back!



An extraordinary stay!

What can I say it was truly stunning! Mayflower was a beautiful shepards hut which was so clean and decorated very well and modern! The private hot tub was incredible with beautiful views, it really made our stay special! Location is fantastic to visit the Elan Valley which was mind blowing, the easy access to the site and personal check in with a key in a key safe was a great touch it felt like our own, the site is also very well kept! We will definitely be returning and hopefully for more nights next time, thank you for the experience

We stayed at Mayflower for 2 nights for our 2nd Anniversary and the whole experience was so relaxing and cosy. It was a lovely escape from our city lives and the views were breathtaking. Although the weather was bad but still we had a great time. The hot tub was just the best and so was the indoor fire pit. The only problem we had was the doors were quite a struggle to open and close as they were very tight but we managed. Overall it was a memorable stay.



Amazing break

The Mayflower has everything you need, the underfloor heating is amazing and the hot tub is great you can sit in and look at the views, its also undercover for rainy days. We took our dogs and there is walks all around. Elan valley up the road and Gilfach Nature Reserve is also local and great. Overall we had a relaxing stay and we would definitely stay again

Beautifully presented pod and super clean. Little extras were really nice touch. Lovely views. The only thing we could fault and this is not a bad point, we could have done with some salt and pepper and there was no table to eat outside, but we would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely break.

The location is unbelievably stunning, being in the centre of wilderness and nature makes it so special, letting our little pooch have her own freedom too was amazing, we will be staying a good few times every year after this experience and couldn’t thank Becky anymore for everything she did and provided!!
Kindest regards

Everything was perfect! Super clean, comfortable and cosy. All the little things had been thought about which is great. Only thing I would say is that the garden isn’t secure for the doggos!
Would definitely return and recommend ☺️

If your looking for somewhere quiet to relax, this is the perfect place. The hut had everything you need and the layout outside meant you had privacy when going in the Hot Tub.

Was only a short drive to the local town to pick up supplies so was perfect for us who planned to do nothing but unwind.

Would definitely recommend and would return :)

We booked this shepherd’s but last minute and it was so worth it. We were the first in this hut, all brand new and ultra clean. Great comfy bed, great shower/toilet room, all kitchen amenities brand new also. Fridge, microwave/oven, sink and small gestures of tea/coffee/biscuits/liquids all provided even though we had packed our own. It had a log burner but we didn’t need it. Outside area was large with a hot tub, which again we were first in and used daily after various outings and walks, so that was refreshing. Our view was straight across fields and no obstructions which was lovely.

It was Easter so the owner (sorry forgot name) dropped off an Easter egg/s which was lovely.

We will certainly be going back. Again greeted very welcoming and friendly. Great stay.
