Shepherds Retreat Wales

Set on a traditional working farm near Llangorse Lake, Shepherds Retreat Wales offers a peaceful glamping escape in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, with wide views towards the Black Mountains and Mynydd Troed rising above the landscape.

This is a place designed for slowing down. Three thoughtfully styled huts — two classic shepherd’s huts and one colourful gypsy-style caravan — sit within open countryside, surrounded by farmland and mountain scenery. Each hut sleeps two people comfortably and includes a wood burner for cosy evenings, making them well suited to both summer stays and quieter off-season escapes.

The location strikes a rare balance between seclusion and accessibility. Llangorse Lake and the village of Llangorse are within walking distance, while the wider Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains offer endless opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor adventures. On clear nights, the setting truly comes into its own — this is a recognised Dark Sky area, ideal for stargazing beside the firepit after the sun goes down.

Whether you’re planning a romantic break, a short glamping escape with friends, or a longer stay exploring the surrounding area, Shepherds Retreat Wales offers a relaxed, characterful base that feels rooted in its landscape and effortlessly welcoming.

Shepherds Retreat Wales is also an ideal base for guests planning a horse-riding holiday, as the huts are run alongside the family-owned Ellesmere Riding Centre. Staying on site allows riders to combine comfortable, characterful accommodation with easy access to riding experiences, making it a natural choice for those looking to explore the surrounding countryside on horseback.
