Luxurious cabin in the heart of the Wye Valley and on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Secluded private setting with mountain and valley views. Located within a picturesque village and walking distance to pub. Separate bedroom, well equipped kitchen, wood burner, shower room, private garden with outdoor hot tub, hammock and fire pit. Romantic retreat, family holiday or somewhere to simply relax and de-stress! The space The Shepherds Carriage is a unique structure which we built from scratch over the course of a year. Our initial intention was to replicate the ever popular Shepherds hut, but as it grew in stature, both in height and in length, it took on its own unique look and many of our friends and family have likened it to a railway carriage or cabouse, hence its name! If you are keen to escape the hussle and bussle of daily life, and visit a very beautiful and relaxing part of the country you should consider The Shepherds Carriage @ Plaswye. Located in the picturesque village of Llyswen in the heart of the Wye Valley, the cabin is situated in the grounds of our own home and enjoys a private secluded spot next to a babbling brook with far reaching views of the Black Mountains and Wye Valley. The cabin offers a level of luxury not normally found in a glamping setting, while still retaining that all important back to basics feeling! It has its own large garden, an outdoor luxury hot tub, from where you can take in the mountain views and stars at night, a fire pit, hammock and bbq. Residents are also welcome to roam around our fields and orchard, which amount to 6 acres where our horses and a small flock of black mountain sheep roam. Inside, the cabin couldn’t be cosier, heated by a wood burner, it has its own open plan living area with smart TV and wifi, a corner sofa that converts into a full size double bed, a well equipped kitchen with gas stove and cooker, a fridge freezer, a table which seats up to four and a bathroom with power shower and flushing toilet! Accessed via a trap door in the ceiling there is also a separate bedroom with a comfy double bed and luxurious bedding. You could experience the best nights sleep ever, we did! Be it summer or winter you are sure to come away feeling rested and revived! Guests have the opportunity to do as much or as little as they like. They can merely stay put and chill, or venture out and enjoy a host of pursuits from walking, kayaking, mountain biking, sailing and flying to a lazy day wondering around the nearby book town of Hay on Wye or market town of Brecon, nestled at the foot of Pen Y Fan, the highest mountain in southern Britain and part of the famous Brecon beacons national park. There are also some great walks direct from your doorstep, such as the Wye Valley walk and the climb, immediately behind the cabin up onto Brechfa common from where you get an amazing 360 degree view of the entire area.
