I booked this cottage for a week of relaxation, comfort, and luxury over Christmas with my partner and my two friends.
It delivered in all three aspects and on every level. The cottage was finished to the highest specification and beautifully decorated throughout. The owners had gone to exceptional trouble to prepare the cottage for Christmas with a tree not only inside but also outside in the extensive garden. As soon as we entered, we felt so festive. The porch and utility room has plenty of storage, a washing machine, and a sink. This is an excellent area to clean off your muddy boots and your muddy dogs! The kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything we could have wanted. It was extremely useful to have two ovens especially as we were there for Christmas and cooking a traditional dinner. Not only was it well equipped, but everything in it was also of the highest quality. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the dining table and looking out through the bi-folding doors at the spectacular views over the Welsh countryside. The log burner made the sitting area so cosy and inviting in the evenings (and of course the excellent hosts left a copious supply of logs) and it was fantastic to have access to Netflix as well as prime, so we had a wide choice of films to watch. The addition of an upstairs toilet was so convenient. My friends were thrilled with the two rooms on the ground floor level. The beds were super comfortable, and the ensuites were beautifully fitted and decorated. And what can I say about the main bedroom on the lower level? It was beyond luxurious, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was stunning, and it was great to have the choice of a bath or a shower. The shower had so many different options, from rainfall to jets on the sides. I was so surprised and delighted to open the cupboard containing the coffee machine and extra wine fridge downstairs. It really was five-star luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and the views it afforded over the surrounding hills was stunning. The hosts were welcoming before we had even left home. Carol sent me an extremely informative email of all the things it was possible to do in the area so that I was well prepared before I even arrived at the cottage. They were always available should we require any help and we felt extremely welcome throughout our stay. Both Carol and David are excellent hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. They left a beautiful welcome pack for us on our arrival and set the tone for what was to be the most amazing Christmas ever. I cannot recommend this place nor these hosts highly enough.

I absolutely loved my week staying at Claerwen, it was so comfy and cosy.
The view was amazing and it was so peaceful and quiet. The hut felt like it was completely in the middle of nowhere but within 30 mins you could be in Rhyader, Builth Wells or Llandrindod Wells. There is also a petrol station with a well stocked shop just 10 mins away. I visited Elan village as well as spending the day up at Claerwyn Reservoir both were great days out and again not far from to go. The bird live was wonderful, I saw woodpeckers, kites, buzzards, goldfinches and swifts from the hut and also saw a couple of redstarts when in the Elan valley. The hut is on a sheep farm so plenty of sheep to see as well as a couple of highland cows. The facilities were good and as you would expect from a small compact space, wifi was brilliant and the bed was really comfortable. For information the fridge is 40L in size, useful to know in advance if bring food with you. I did a click and collect at Tescos in Llandrindod Wells on my arrival journey. Finally I have to say a huge thank you to Alun, the point of contact for the owners. Despite being a very busy farmer he always replied to my questions, and was very approachable and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. As you may be able to tell, I would fully recommend Claerwyn (and Elan) to anyone wanting to get away from it all, in a cosy shepherds hut to enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful Welsh countryside. I canât wait to go back.

The location of the site was absolutely beautiful and the instructions for finding the accommodation easy to follow.
The surrounding area is also beautiful, with lots to do and see! We went mid April and it was fantastic to see all of the lambs out! Unfortunately our accomodation, 'The Otter' had not been properly cleaned however. On arrival, we found that the rug in the main dining area had not been hoovered at all, toe nail clippings were found on the sofa and when we pulled the rug out, we found old food and card games left from previous guests. We tried to call the number provided for the hosts, however we could not get through. On the second night, two of our party woke up to droplets on their head and whilst we can appreciate that this is a tent, it may be something to consider if you have children staying on the top bunk in the bedroom. The pots, pans and utensils provided were not cleaned properly and the communal bathing areas could have been cleaner. Despite the above, the location is fantastic, the hot tub wonderful and the site itself great. Unfortunately, we won't be staying again due to the cleanliness, however we may have been unlucky!

Dee, Bruce the dog and I absolutely loved our 3 night stay over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
Milk and Welsh cakes on arrival were a very welcome addition. The hut was immaculate, well equipped and very cosy and the bed was incredibly comfortable. It has a completely enclosed garden, a previous review says itâs joint with the other hut but they must have since put a fence up between. This is very handy when you have a very friendly but overly inquisitive dog and meant we could relax knowing he wasnât driving anyone bonkers. We loved sitting outside watching the sheep, cows and the Red Kites up ahead it was so beautiful and peaceful. We saw the farmer and family who came for a chat and they were so friendly. We enjoyed the drive from Elan Valley to Devils Bridge over the mountain pass (rated by the AA as one of the top 10 scenic drives in the world) did the devils bridge walk and then drove on to beautiful Borth beach. Another day we walked around the Elan Reservoirs and took in the impressive dams. We also spent an afternoon at the Red Kite centre which was amazing. We were very sad to leave and will most certainly visit again.

Our stay at Claerwen was faultless.
The Sheperd Hut was amazing. It was extremely clean & well fitted out. The bed was comfortable and the linen & towels were fresh & clean. Plenty of hot water & a good shower. The area is lovely, lots of walking, biking, close to the coast. Nearby Rhayader is a lively shopping town with several places to eat. The hut its self is situated down a farm track away from any roads & noise. There are 2 huts which could be booked together for a group of 4. They are however situated such to give privacy. There are an abundance of Red Kite soaring through the skies overhead, amazing to watch. The owners made contact with key details and offered a later check out. I did feel that they were approachable if we had had a problem. This was an excellent 3 night stay & we hope to go back.
