There was a kestrel sitting on the hut when we arrived, lovely to see. The actual shepherd's hut was very charming and comfortable, especially the bed. Plenty of room in the shower, though the bathroom is very small and can be hard to move in. There was a Lovely decking area to sit outside and admire the views. Unfortunately the log burner wasn't working but we rarely got cold. There are some amazing clifftop walks nearby, we went to the range and saw a seal on the beach and some breathtaking views. South stack is definitely worth a visit and Trearddur bay has Lovely beaches and walks and the sea shanty is definitely worth a visit. We really enjoyed our holiday and would totally recommend it to everyone. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely Shepherd's hut, we would definitely like to return one day.
