    The peacefulness of the location was brilliant. You are located on a working farm with only animal sounds. There is no Wi-Fi or TV so you can just switch off and completely relax. The host were lovely.

We are located in the centre of Snowdonia National Park, surrounded by the mountains, with the beach a short drive away, and within easy distance of Snowdon and all the activities that are on offer in Snowdonia. The shepherds hut has a double bed, simple camping stove and sink, with a log burner for those colder nights. There is a small camping style fridge, and USB charging points in the hut. There is a seperate basic toilet a short walk from the hut, and a shower available at the main house. Situated on our small farm, where we also keep alpacas and offer alpaca walking, you can be assured peace and quiet, with the animals to entertain you, and wildlife all around. You can walk around the farm and meet our animals, or venture further afield, with various activities close by, or just relax and enjoy the local scenery.
I love to have visitors to the farm to meet our animals and enjoy the tranquil surroundings that I am lucky to call home! I enjoy spending time with my horses, donkeys and alpacas, who we also offer walks with, and explaining how we use regenerative farming practices here that have improved the land, while also providing habitats for our abundant wildlife.
We are centrally located in Snowdonia National Park, so near the mountains, woodland, castles, Port Meirion and beaches, as well as more adrenaline based activities such as zip world, canyoning, white water rafting, and wild swimming. For mountains and woodland walks/ mountain biking, we are close to the Molewyn Mountains, Coed y Brenin, lakes and the Celtic rainforest. We also have two pubs in walking distance that offer excellent food, so meals are sorted after all the exercise! We are 20 minutes from Porthmadog, so supermarkets, and shops.
