Craggy peaks, glassy lakes, and a raw natural beauty that stirs the soul — Snowdonia isn’t just a place you visit; it’s a place you feel.
Tucked away in North Wales, this vast national park is a dream for hikers, history buffs, and anyone craving a break from the noise of modern life.
Whether you’re climbing the iconic Mount Snowdon, riding the vintage steam trains that snake through the valleys, or simply soaking in the tranquillity of a lakeside cottage, Snowdonia offers the kind of holiday that lingers long after you’ve unpacked your bags. Expect wide-open spaces, rich Welsh culture, and adventures for all ages — with views you’ll remember forever.
Tucked away on the edge of a historic slate quarry in the heart of Eryri (Snowdonia), the Barlwyd Shepherds Huts at Plas Weunydd offer a wildly romantic, off-grid escape for couples craving calm, connection and big skies. Perfect for a trip for two before the school summer holidays kick in!
Open March to October, these charming huts are made for slow mornings, starry nights, and the kind of peace that’s hard to find. Each hut sleeps two (plus a dog), and comes with a wood-burning stove, sweeping views over moorland and quarry, and access to a wild lakeside sauna for post-hike unwinding. There’s no WiFi and no distractions – just nature, comfort and each other.
Perfect for wild swimmers, walkers and weekenders looking to disconnect and reset, the huts start from £120 per night.
