Overview of Lily Shepherd's Lodge ..

Lily Shepherd's Lodge is a dog friendly Shepherd's Hut sleeping two, with a third pull out bed for a child. Relax in a bubbling hot tub with a glass of fizz in hand, surrounded by rolling Welsh hills. The enclosed garden makes this perfect dog friendly glamping, in Wales' rural heart.

Lily Shepherd's Lodge is a brand new, large Shepherd's Hut in Mid Wales. A stones through from fantastic walks, waterfalls & scenery to explore such as Gilfach Nature Reserve & the famous Elan Valley.

Sleeping two adults with the option of a pull out camp bed for a child, this property is the perfect place for a couples getaway or a small family holiday in Wales. If you consider your four legged friend part of the family, then bring them along! They will love the walks and wildlife or simply soaking up some sun on the decking. This shepherd's hut with enclosed garden is great for small children or dogs, who can potter in the secure garden while you supervise from the bubbling hot tub!

Beside the private hot tub, break bread and dine al fresco on the outdoor seating. Or spark up your very own built in, brick BBQ and sizzle some local sausages or lamb chops. Light up the fire pit as shadows fall across the rolling green hills. And toast marshmallows under the sparkling night sky.

The interior of this large Shepherd's Hut is a treat for the eye. With a Belfast sink and contemporary navy blue kitchen units. You also have a two ring hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle. So whether preparing salads for the BBQ or cooking up a Sunday roast, this kitchen won't hold you back!

Underfloor heating keeps you cosy at any time of year, and is a particular treat if you have a furry friend or two who like to doze beside your bed.

Looking to dine out? Check out the local market town of Rhayader for a wide selection of cafes, pubs & takeaways. See suggestions on our Eating & Drinking section.

For a much needed early night or breakfast in bed, the plush king bed is the perfect place to get cosy. Relax in front of your favourite Netflix series on the smart TV. Or you can simply look up and take in the beautiful night sky through the over the bed star gazer. Heavens!

Through the space saving sliding door you will find the shower room with flushing WC, corner basin, heated towel rail & shower.

If you're looking for weekend hot tub breaks in Wales or dog friendly stays for a family of three, Shepherd's Hut Lily won't disappoint! The location is one of the best places to stay in Wales with a dog!

Restore, refresh and relax 5/5

We recently stayed and this was our second visit. It is the perfect little break for my partner and I with our two dogs. We have such busy lives and love coming here to switch off. The dogs were very happy to play in the secure garden whilst we watched the sun set in the hot tub. Location is peaceful with amazing views but only a short drive away to local pubs and shops. We visited Elan Valley for a long dog walk - wow! Breathtaking views for every step. We ordered a small cooked breakfast and a continental breakfast which was presented beautifully with generous portions and enjoyed with views of the hills and sheep in the background. The pod is immaculately clean with everything you need to cater for yourself. It is decorated with the quirkiness of cows and makes you feel cosy and comfortable. I genuinely can't fault Lily for a relaxing break from reality. We love it, have been twice and have already booked to return again. Thank you for a perfect way to unwind and we will see you again soon!

Wow! Relaxed, recharged and refreshed 5/5

We have never stayed in anything like this before and we was truly amazed. It was perfect. Perfect location and surroundings, very clean, private, no need to check in and out quick easy entry into property and the hot tub was well used on our stay. We was surprised to have two lots of towels for hot tub use too, hand soaps, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, popcorn and waffle biscuits. Very nice added touch we didn’t expect as we’ve only ever stayed in caravans before that didn’t provide any of this. Our dog truly enjoyed himself on his first holiday with a secure garden over looking the fields. Thank you! We will definitely be returning again soon. ????

Loved everything about Lily 5/5

We’ve stayed in a few places which class them selves as dog friendly but Lilly was the best so far! The fence around the hut made our stay so relaxing as we didn’t have to worry about the dogs running off. We had two dogs with us and ther garden area is so specious with amazing views from the hot tub. The hut was spotless with plenty of facilities to make your own breakfast lunch and dinner. We are already looking to book again and can’t wait to go back

Shelley Brackenbury | 18 May 2023

Total relaxation 4.8/5

We had such a lovely stay at Lily, the accommodation was amazing and it was total relaxation! We loved the view from the hot tub and the fact that it was fenced meant that Daisy (our dog) could wonder around without us having to watch her all the time. The little touches of the snacks were very much enjoyed! The only thing that would have helped is to have a little shop nearby in case you needed it, but definitely not a necessity!
