Is The Sheep Shed Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The Sheep Shed offers limited facilities specifically for children. The property suits older children who appreciate countryside walks and wildlife watching. Spring visits allow watching newborn lambs in surrounding fields. Board games are provided for rainy days. The hot tub and stargazing opportunities appeal to teenagers. However, the remote location and lack of dedicated play equipment make this better suited to couples or families with older, quieter children.

For Couples

Perfect for romantic breaks and honeymoons. The master bedroom features floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking countryside views. The hot tub on the decking offers private stargazing with zero light pollution. Underfloor heating and a woodburning stove create cosy evenings. Dressing gowns and slippers are provided. Complete privacy down a private track means total seclusion. The peaceful setting with just birdsong and distant sheep creates a restorative atmosphere. Many couples return repeatedly.

Pet Friendly

No, The Sheep Shed does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy. This ensures the lodge remains spotlessly clean and suitable for guests with allergies. While the hosts have a puppy named Fearne on their working farm, guest pets cannot stay at the property. The surrounding countryside offers excellent walking opportunities, but you'll need to find alternative accommodation if travelling with dogs.

The Sheep Shed Reviews

The Sheep Shed provides excellent accommodation in a lovely setting in a beautiful part of Wales. It is remote, private and a total escape from everyday life. Should you need anything, however, the owners are always available to help and advise. We began to relax the moment we arrived and were sorry to leave at the end of our stay.

Sheep Shed we loved spending our holidays there. Peaceful, surrounded by sheep, in the heart of a hikers paradise. Dan and Emily are very welcoming they went out of their way to fulfil all our wishes and more. It was spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the hot tub after a long hike, it was pure relaxation. We can highly, highly recommend Dan and Emilys Sheep Shed.

Charlotte

We had a lovely holiday. The setting is beautiful and the Sheep Shed has everything you could need. We would definitely book again!

Lawson

We love the Sheep Shed, it a fantastic property in a beautiful location. Dan and Emily are the perfect hosts. The property is fully equipped and spotlessly clean and well maintained. We cant wait for our 5th visit in September 26 !

Dan and Emily are fantastic hosts. The sheep shed is a superb facility, with fantastic views. Very comfortable beds and sofas. It was really nice for the accommodation to be decorated for Christmas with our stay being over new year. Dan and Emily went above and beyond throughout our trip and would highly recommend a stay here as we already have done to friends and family.

Matthew

We had the most perfect, peaceful stay at The Sheep Shed! The property is finished to a very high standard and is in a beautiful quiet setting with wonderful views. It is even better than describedshown in the listing. We felt instantly relaxed and comfortable! It is clear that the owners take real pride in ensuring their guests have the best holiday! We noticed the guest book was filled with overwhelmingly positive comments and there were multiple guests who had revisited year after year. We were not at all surprised by this and plan to stay here the same time of year next year ourselves. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

The sheep shed is everything you would want or need for a relaxing holiday

We really enjoyed our stay. Dan met us on arrival and showed us around the lodge, he also gave us information on local walks and places to eat. He was very attentive and was always happy to help with anything. The lodge was spacious, well equipped and very clean. There were many little touches which made our stay even better. The location is beautiful and very quiet, a perfect place to get away from it all. We will certainly be returning in the future.

Just had an amazing week at The Sheep Shed. Dan and Emily were super hosts and we couldnt fault anything. We were tucked away in a quiet location with the sound of a running river and lambs bleating, instant stress relief! The lodge itself had everything we needed and we were sad to leave! The hot tub was an added bonus. There is no light pollution so the stars were phenomenal from the tub. If you have stumbled upon this lodge, book it, you wont regret it! Thanks Dan and Emily.

We had a great time at the Sheep Shed, much aided by the weather. Wonderful views, great fun watching the antics of the spring lambs and tranquil. The property is very well appointed, clean and maintained. Dan and Emily are excellent hosts, Dan checking the hot tub water daily despite being peak lambing season!

Elaine

Absolutely stunning property certainly one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Location was fantastic beautiful views, great walks from the door and very private and quiet. The views from the bedroom were breaktaking to wake up to. Every little thing had been thought of to ensure a comfortable holiday. Dan and Emily were very helpful giving great recommendations but not intrusive. The ideal property if you want a quiet, relaxed break in a beautiful home. Thank you and we look forward to coming back again.

Damian

I have stayed at alot of places similar to this but non with the quality of it. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The rooms are beautiful and well kept. Just an incredible stay. Booked again. Can't wait.

Alison

We think we have found the perfect holiday home in the Sheep Shed. It is generously sized, warm and comfortable with quality furniture and fittings, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the most beautiful surroundings. Dan and Emily were brilliant hosts and we could not have wished for a better few days of rest and relaxation. We will return!

We stayed at the Sheep Shed for our 2 week honeymoon following our December 2024 wedding. We have been home for 2 days and we have already started planning going back for next year's holiday! Dan and Emily are absolutely amazing, really friendly and always around if we needed anything. We loved the holiday and highly recommend it!

The Sheepshed is probably the nicest property we have ever stayed in and there have been many. The views are stunning and the property itself is beautiful. There is so much space, so much comfort and even the bathrooms warranted some photos! The bedroom with the whole window view was stunning, the decking area and hot tub is lovely and Dan maintains the hot tub daily. This is not intrusive and was really lovely to be able to ask questions about the local area and get tips on where to go and the best butchers etc. The property has had so much thought put into it to make it perfect. Dan and Emily could not have been more helpful during our stay and we would 100 recommend the Sheepshed. You will not be disappointed!

Nicola

The sheep shed is an amazing place, when we went in the place smelt lovely it is so clean and welcoming. The views are breathtaking from the balcony. The hot tub was gorgeous which we both especially loved. The whole place is done to a very high standard. The owners were happy to help with anything and nothing was too much trouble. we will definitely return. we really cant rate the place enough, excellent 7 nights stay. Thankyou Dan and Emily x

Fantastic place to stay , what a location and view stunning everything you needed was provided all you need to take is food and drink. The hot tub was used every day ,did a few local trips within an hour away Waterfall walk and Shrewsbury Prison guided tour well worth it. We had a great time and can't praise the owners enough, loved it thank you.

What an absolute GEM of a find. .The Sheep Shed is just an amazing place, we didnt want to leave. Dan & Emily are fantastic hosts, they are just the best at what they do. The finish and cleanliness of the property is impeccable and the location is stunningproper off grid for total relaxation, it was just what we needed. The facilities are fabulous and it has everything that you need. It has plenty storage for your clothes, a full fridge and freezer which is handy due to its remoteness. The gas bbq was easy to use and really well maintained. We also made use of the empty draw in the kitchen for all our consumables. The Sheep Shed had a villa feel to it and on warmer days when you opened up the sliding doors to proper brought the outside in. The hot tub was beautiful and maintained every day, it was especially great at night if you like to watch the stars. We loved exploring farm too and we cant wait to return to do it all again.

We had a lovely time at The Sheep Shed and Dan was really friendly and helpful during our stay. Amazing views and spotlessly clean throughout. Would highly recommend.

The Sheep Shed is a wonderful holiday location, set in the Welsh hills it is a peaceful gem, very comfortable with beautiful views. The hot tub is a added bonus especially after a day out walking. Dan & Emily are fantastic hosts, always on hand, if needed, with info about the surrounding area's and where to go. The only downside about this holiday is that 7 nights were over far too quickly, we would love to go back again soon. Thankyou Dan & Emily for a great, relaxing week.

Fabulous stay at the Sheep Shed. On arrival the property was spotlessly clean and welcoming with wonderful views. Dan and Emily at hand to assist if required. Lovely walks from the property or a short drive away. Plenty of options for days out, equally a wonderful place to relax and enjoy if you required a quiet day. The balcony and hot tub a great place to unwind.

The owners were more than willing to help and making sure we have everything that we need during our stay . Nothing is too small for them to help with. We are definitely going back there. Linda

Gurraj

Emily & Dan the owners are amazing. Dan and Emily were absolutely amazing! We had the most wonderful time with lots of new experiences. The views were stunning Windows XP desktop vibes and we were incredibly fortunate with the weather Early May Bank Holiday. The Sheep Shed had everything and more for supplies and stargazing in the hot tub was an added bonus we totally recommend that everyone try this at least once! We didn't need to use the heated flooring, we definitely want to return and experience The Sheep Shed in a different season and make use of the wood burner and heated floor.

Fantastic property and amazing hosts. Absolutely breathtaking views in a lovely modern and comfortable lodge. Dan and Emily were really friendly and went above and beyond, making our stay even better than we thought it was going to be. I can't recommend The Sheep Shed highly enough!

Absolutely stunning property in idylic countryside. No expense spared by the owners in making this such a luxurious holiday home. Anyone visiting will find the owners most welcoming and extremely helpful should you need anything. I would rather this was a well kept secret but The Sheep Shed deserves to be experienced by fellow travellers !
