Cae Main Shepherds Hut

About

Rural and peaceful, Cae Main Shepherds Hut nestles in its own private paddock with vast amounts of space to enjoy all to yourselves and far stretching views over the Clwydian Range AONB. With carefully thought out features, this cosy shepherd’s hut is the perfect escape for sole travellers or for two people. And located in the tourism hot spot that is North Wales, you’ll not be short on things to do!

We can’t think of a better place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life than Cae Main. Offering cosy glamping accommodation, an abundance of mountain views, plenty of fresh air and no neighbours nearby (apart from the occasional sheep) this is a great place to unwind.

Inside

This wonderful little shepherd’s hut oozes peace and tranquillity. Perfectly designed to sleep two. Cae Main boasts a sumptuous double bed adorned with an amazing Baavet duvet, made with 100% British Wool. There is storage underneath the bed perfect for your bags. Cae Main also has a cute kitchenette equipped with a kettle, toaster, microwave and small fridge with an icebox. Great for cooking up some simple meals. Complimentary fair-trade tea, coffee, sugar, condiments and marshmallows are provided; so as soon as you arrive you can enjoy a nice cuppa in the fresh air.

The bathroom is situated 20m away from the shepherds hut in the beautifully hand crafted amenity hut which is cladded with local larch. Here you will find a private bathroom with a great walk in shower. Towels are provided. For cyclist lovers or keen hikers, guests have their own lockable shed to safely secure bikes, hang wet gear and keep muddy boots. A bucket and brush are provided to wash down muddy boots and bicycles!

Outside

Tempting though it may be to snuggle up for the entirety of your stay at Cae Main Shepherd’s Hut. We just know you’ll be drawn outside to the breath-taking mountain views of the Clwydian Range AONB. Huddle round the glow of your own campfire, toasting the complimentary marshmallows and gazing at the stars in this dark sky reserve. Or if you’d rather go for some al fresco dining, pop some charcoal on the firepit with the grill top and rustle up a delicious home cooked meal for two.

If the weather is a little more adverse, you can take advantage of the covered area on the side of the amenity hut. Where you can take a seat and plan the next days adventures with the help of the large OS maps mounted on the wall.
