About this property
The Hideaway Shepherd Hut, Duffryn Mawr self catering cottages Vale of Glamorgan
This quirky cosy Shepherd Hut located in the Secret Garden where you can enjoy al fresco dining heated by the warmth of the fire pit surrounded by the twinkling fairy lit hedges and up lit trees. The Secret Garden is in the heart of the countryside ensuring complete privacy.
It has a double fold down bed fully made up with crisp cotton sheets, duvet and fluffy pillows. The kitchenette has two hotplates, fridge, sink and microwave along with all the glassware and crockery you will need. Built in en-suite shower room with fluffy towels provided.
Enjoy a glass of something cold sitting on the deck looking out onto The Secret Garden.
There are some great pubs locally and these are all listed in our welcome folder along with their phone numbers, however, if you would like us to book a table anywhere just drop us a message.
Also, just a short drive, is the labyrinth of forestry walks to include Pyscodlin Lake which is a beautiful site and on the other side the lovely picnic areas.

About the host
Hosted by Rosie
Simon and I have lived here at Duffryn Mawr since 2001 and have quietly built a friendly self catering haven for our guests. We renovated the main cottage first which was built in the 15C and moved in March 2001 with our one year old daughter Izzie. Our son, Paddy, arrived in December 2003 so our family was complete. Once we completed the cottage we started work on the stone barn and it evolved into our lovely holiday cottages which we opened in 2005 just in time for the Wales v Ireland 6 nations Grand Slam decider. What a fabulous weekend with the cottages filled with Irish fans - such a blast! Over the last 16 years we have built up a lovely, relaxed atmosphere for all our guests but boy could I tell you some stories - it has been a colourful ride and we have made some long term friendships with our returning guests. We strive to give a very warm, Welsh welcome and whilst we encourage guests to have peace and quiet we are on hand should you need any assistance with anything during your stay. We very much look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Rosie, Si and family. x
