In such a magical part of Wales, with its cosy accomodation and hosts who instantly made us feel at home. The attention given to us if required and the dedication of our hosts to preserve the natural magic of this little haven. We would not fail to recommend it to others. The tranquillity, lovely walks and even a perfect little tea shop on site make this an ideal retreat from the chaos of everyday life.

What a lovely place to visit for drinks, food, homemade jams, chutney, honey and cordials. The owners are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. Even though you cannot sit down there at the moment due to restrictions it is still worth a visit. Let's all protect local businesses 😍

Had a wonderful time in beautiful surroundings. The hosts were very welcoming and informative about local walks and attractions. So impressed we are planning to go back next summer.

An ancient holywell of St Beuno. There is self-catering accommodation on site and teas and coffees are served in summer. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable on the local history. At one time H M Stanley (of "Livingstone, I presume" fame) lived in the house.

Review for staying in Hicks Hut:
This wonderful and friendly host was in contact with us from start to finish and provided us with a perfect stay and everything we needed. It's not often that you will find a shepherds hut at this price that doesn't charge you extra for fire wood or randomly runs out of electricity because the solar panel is the size of a dinner plate. Theres even a toilet and proper shower inside so you dont have to run out in the cold in your pjs to use the facilities. The hut is made wonderfully warm with only a few logs on the wood burner (which might i add is very easy to use compared to some others I have come across) and the bed is comfortable with ample pillows provided. Its even connected to mains water so you can do the washing up and fill up your water bottles without fear of running out. The location of the hut felt really private and we loved watching the alpacas explore their field and cave. We even got to interact with the baby lambs and the friendly ginger cat. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or to reccomend it to anyone. I would also say, dont pass up the breakfast hamper, even if you are vegan, the coffee from the little coffee hut is great and much cheaper than in town, go on the walk to the nature reserve you wont regret it!, The local pub is great and dont pass up the opportunity to purchase some of the lovely ffynnon beuno produce to take home. I bought 2 ales and the apple and orange blossom jam and my friend bought the slow gin and the local honey, all were excellent.

What a lovely hidden gem! Really pleased found this online before we came to the area. Warm welcome, friendly owner & very helpful. We had a nice brew before going for a wander to the summit with its beautiful views.Then headed back for our sarnies joined by the cheeky chickens, muffins & takeaway treats of jam plus delicious pork pies. Very relaxing place not to be missed.
