  The ultimate retreat .

  .. a bit of countryside, a bit of coast, a bit of pretty village life. And an exquisite home-from-home that reminds you what life's for. Teresa and Nigel put every essential and every thoughtful touch into making Dragonfly Shepherd's Hut a little paradise. I've been to a lot of airbnbs all over the world, many with extensive floor plans and lists of amenities, but this one on our doorstep in Wales is by far the most personal experience that I feel genuinely changed by. While the Hut is small and rustic, it's immaculately designed an built with a full shower room, super-hot water, a fridge, cool-to7ch cooker, huge comfy bed and little luxuries I didn't get in the hotel I stayed in to break my journey on the way home. Marshmallows, forks, hot chocolate and wood for the fire pit. Bubbles and salts for the outdoor bath in which you can soak and watch the sun set over the lake. And a snack basket including local crisps, fruit fizz and Welsh cakes. Even my dog felt spoilt with his sagely enclosed garden to run around in, huge jar of treats, dog towel, blanket and bowl. I didn't bbq but it's all there, along with lots of garden furniture that turns the indoors out. Even a secure parking right at the gate. No overlooking houses. Privacy, serenity and lush green fields surround the lake - with a wooden bench to welcome an afternoon musing. Teresa called before our visit to answer my questions about what to pack (answer: not much!) And both she and Nigel checked in with us now and then to see if we needed anything. And if I might say, Sykes was more responsive, more caring and more helpful than airbnb has ever been - so I'm a fan now and have their app. I'll definitely be going back to the Dragonfly Shepherd's Hut... if I haven't just helped it get fully booked for all time. Though to be sure, much deserved praise!

  Lovely property, very quiet location perfect to relax. The hot tub was ready for our arrival which was great. Couldn't find the hairdryer but a quick text to the owner and they sorted one of theirs for me to borrow as the previous people had pinched the original one! Lovely welcome pack of cakes and Welsh cakes and a little bottle of milk. The bed was comfy and there are plenty of blankets as it does get chilly at night. It does get super warm when the sun is out but there are plenty of fans and once you open the doors and windows it soon cools down. Was great to have an oven and microwave and a big fridge freezer so we could have meals in rather then eat out all the time. The nearest big supermarket is morrisons which is 30 mins away by car in Aberystwyth however there is a nisa just a 5 minute walk across the horse field which had a really good selection of stuff. Abaeraron is a 2 mile walk, it's a nice walk, you can't really walk down the main a437 as there's no path however if you follow the path as far as you can then take a right through the houses there's a path all the way into town, it's not for the faint hearted lol it is a very steep slope for around half a mile. New quay is a 10 minute drive away, it's very small but very pretty. The owners are very welcoming and the views from the silo balcony are beautiful with just the horses as neighbours. Considering its on a working livery farm the noise of tractors didn't bother us at all and it wasn't all day every day either.

  From the moment we stepped onto the property we felt a sense of peace.

  The Red Damsel Flies over the pond and the birds diving for food. Our greyhound loved the space for his zoomies, the little bird on the pond diving happily. The hut is immaculate and very well designed for comfort and relaxation. Unfortuantely the Welsh Weather did its best to annoy us but failed as we just chilled and read our books. Visited Cardigan and then Aberaeron for the compulsory holiday Fish & Chips. The barbeque is great and the outdoor bath is something to be experienced, so well built and positioned. Hosts were friendly and helpful but also leaving us to be alone, which is what we needed to recharge our batteries. Not having TV was a bonus. We will definitely be visiting again, our greyhound didnt want to leave once he settled. Thank you to all at DragonFly Hut. What a peaceful place.

  This is now our favourite Shepherds Hut.

  Very relaxing, private and peaceful just stunning. The hut is lovely & well equipped the bed is extremely comfortable. The added bonus of an undercover BBQ area with outside bath is just perfect. We certainly made good use of the bath. ( Better than a Hot Tub ). The garden is safe and enclosed for your dog and our little dog loved the doggy basket. The lake is lovely to walk around or just to sit and watch the Dragonfly's and Frogs. Teresa & Nigel are perfect hosts and lovely people. Teresa went above & beyond when our little dog needed an emergency vet thankyou so much. We cannot wait to return & highly recommend this beautiful place.

  Lovely finishing touches such as the wine and cakes. We felt very welcomed and very relaxed. When we got to the farm we had a bit of trouble locating the silo, we went down a track to the left which led nowhere and I ended up getting out of the car and wandering about to find it. Generally very clean but the sofa cushions had not been vacuumed inbetween. There were nuts and fluff down there. Kitchen well equipped. There is also a cable or something running down the outside of the silo that bangs against it in the night and did wake us. You can tell it’s a labour of love and we fell in love with it too. I was sad to leave
