Shepherds Hut "Jessica" in fantastic location



Jessica is self contained and has exclusive use of its own shower and toilet block and camp kitchen. Social isolation can be easily maintained.

Jessica is a wonderfully cosy Shepherds Hut with bedding and towels supplied. The hut consists of a comfy double bed, dining area, and the use of adjacent well equiped camp kitchen and toilet and shower block. A small camp stove provides facilities for drink making inside hut.
There is no TV reception in this Hut but it does have a good TV screen and DVD player
We provide bedding and towels. All you need to bring is yourselves.
Although the hut does not have a bathroom inside, it does have a very good shower block almost adjacent plus a well equipped camp kitchen with everything you need for camp cooking.
. Sitting area both outside the kitchen or in the Huts private garden area or in the Hut itself if you wish. The view and aspect makes this site unique and magically private for the perfect getaway break.
If you have dogs we do allow 2 small dogs in the hut. However please tell us the breeds on booking and don't forget to tick the dog box .
We charge £15 per dog per stay.
Tyn-y-fron is a 13 acre smallholding in the most beautiful setting .About halfway between Bala and Corwen we are half a mile from the road offering seclusion with the added benefit that we are not too hard to find.
We have hens, cats , a small hairy Jack Russell.. Our other neighbours include a wonderful selection of wildlife, including squirrels, foxes, hedgehogs and assorted small mammals. They may be hard to spot, but they will be watching you!
You will see soaring buzzards regularly, occasional red kite and other hawks, and a fine selection of song birds, including green woodpecker, jays and more besides.
Next door to the hut "Jessica" is lovely open grazing on which we have two LLamas!
Interesting neighbours!

In short a Tyn-y-fron holiday offers the romance of a back-to-nature experience which you will remember for years to come.
Tyn-y-fron Shepherds Hut is a complete escape from the busy outside world. Set alone in a sheltered corner of our smallholding overlooking the River Dee. Your only neighbours are sheep or chickens and whatever wildlife comes into view..
You are only one mile from a very good pub with meals

Great getaway from all
Brilliant glamping with your own kitchen and bathroom allocated to Jessica hut half a minute walk away. The neighbours are cute, they are 2 llamas, half a dozen chickens and an ambient cat. The hosts are very friendly and helpful too. Don't bring eggs, rather buy here from them, they are definitely free range and taste amazing.

Jessica shepherds hut
We spent a wonderful time there. The owners were really friendly and helpful. It's a simple accommodation, but has everything, what we needed. The bed was really comfortable too. We would go again.

Lovely
We stayed in the Jessica hut this past weekend. The accommodation is accessed up a short hilly gravel track that I doubt any car would have problems with, this sets you back from the road. The kitchen and bathroom annex are separate from the hut but not an inconceivable distance away and the car is parked immediately outside the bathroom so you don't have to lug your luggage for miles! The bathroom is exceptionally clean, with spare cleaning products and brushes etc provided to deal with the inevitable mud. The same can be said for the kitchen which was very well stocked with utensils, a fridge and 2 gas cookers which is more than adequate! The hut is surrounded by a small enclosed gravel yard, be aware that if you have a small dog they may well be able to wiggle out under the gate! Beyond that is a small grass track surrounding the hut and then the llama grazing. If you have a dog that will only toilet on grass make sure you take a long lead so that you can keep them under control near the livestock. The hut was lovely, clean and warm. Surprising amount of storage if you got creative but don't overpack! The views from the hut are the llama grazing and the forest. Take good walking shoes if you are going to tackle the forest trail! Dee and Peter are lovely and are more than willing to help! You can tell they pay attention to detail and love the place. The only thing to be aware of is that due to the proximity of the hut to the cheerful chickens and the lovely llamas, guests are often up and down to see them as well as (understandably) the caregivers for the animals, this does mean that there are no dashes from the hut to the bathroom/shower in your PJs as there may well be people there! The glass fronted bathroom cabin does make changing a little difficult but can be easily managed by utilising the raised bathmat and changing in the shower cubicle. If you are hoping for a few days of utter retreat where you won't see another soul this may not be the place for you. Overall, beautiful setting and very well maintained.

Amazing place!
Booked a 3night surprise stay for my boyfriends birthday. Absolutely gutted we only booked 3nights, stayed in the beautiful Jessica hut and loved the view, the llamas, geese, hens were just a lovely edition to the stunning scenery. Fresh eggs in the morning from the hens were delicious , the host was very friendly and helpful. We loved the kitchen and bathroom in the annexe that was only for us to use! Definitely recommend to stay here!

Perfect to get away from it all and safe for child to roam freely. Only take what you need as space limited. Warm and cosy despite weather.
