Lovely remote and peaceful hut. Easy to find with instructions provided. Plenty of space. Everything you need is there. Excellent get away.
The bed wasn't the most comfortable but was good for a shepherds hut and the water in the shower got cold in 3 minutes, assuming it was a small water heater.

Fantastic stay here, this little Shepherds hut is small but mighty. It has everything you need for a comfortable cosy stay. Lovely hot shower, great heating, and comfortable bed. Well appointed and great location, particularly the Elan Valley on your doorstep. Both this, and its next door neighbour, Elan, are great for a fabulous stay (we’ve stayed in both) Great communication from the owner as well. A lovely touch was the milk, and Welsh cakes as well as coffee and teabags. Much appreciated.
Nothing, it was perfect.

Location. Excellently made Shepherd Hut. Good interior. Comfy bed. Warm & cosy even in the Winter.
Nothing but just to point out (so nothing gets broken): Toilet seat isn’t straight. Window blind on left side of doors (looking from inside) is not working as it ought to; possibly because it’s slightly fraying) & window as looking outside from the bed doesn’t want to close; we think it’s dropped. Only observations do nothing that spoilt our stay.

We loved our stay at Claerwen! Set in a beautiful and quiet valley, with only the sheep, cows, rabbits and kites for company, it was a lovely spot to get away to for the weekend. We had all the facilities we needed and everything was an exceptional standard. We noticed people had commented on this (and the other hut) about limited hot water but found the tank heats up quickly and is warm again when the red light on the boiler (under the sink) goes off. We didn't see the hosts but we had two contact numbers, if we had any questions. We hope to book again another time!

Claerwen Shepherd’s Hut is a fantastic place to stay. It is extremely well equipped with high quality equipment, and the design and layout have been well thought out. The hut was spotlessly clean, easy to find, it has outstanding views and the site is well drained, with parking next to the hut. The hosts could not have been more helpful. There are numerous places of interest within easy reach, with the Elan Valley Visitor Centre and the Red Kite Feeding Centre both well worth visiting.
There’s nothing to dislike about a stay at Claerwen.

Great little location right next to the sheep and cows with views to the hills. Dog friendly with a decent fence between us and the sheep. All new and clean. Very quiet with dark skies. Sink, electric hob and microwave very useful. The shower is excellent (but goes cold after just a few mins - water saving feature?). Barbecue and half a bag of briquettes a bonus. In hot weather an awning of some type would greatly improve this location as it's a bit of an oven inside during the day. Overall, a good base for exploring a rather beautiful area. There is a services with petrol, shop, and Greggs on the nearby A-road. Overall, decent value for money. Good clear communication, re keys etc.
A few things missing like a reading light (and we bought a fan as it was soooo hot that week). We could not fathom the wifi - just a 'connected without internet' and the vodofone page didn't show any way to get online - neither my samsung or my partner's iphone connected. I would have called for help but we used her data instead, so only mildly annoying. A lot of house flies - not sure how we could deal with that as it's a countryside location - the small plug-in zapper was 0% effective. Water is scalding hot and has warning signs but it is easy to accidentally knock the shower lever and burn yourself - one scream was heard - please get this looked at as it is really dangerous.

Beautiful shepherd hut. Bedding and towels were provided and were great quality and very pretty.
The shower was wonderful and the fact we had a fridge there was a lifesaver as the weather was 38C!
Close enough to Royal Welsh Show to travel in daily.
May be difficult to get up the steps and also on to the bed if you have limited mobility but I use a stick and managed it.
Highly recommend

Beautiful location, easy to find. Very thoughtful to include tea/coffee/milk and a welcoming gift. Hut was spotless and had everything you could need.
The WiFi didn't work (connected but no internet) and the hot water in the shower ran out very quickly.
