One often associates a ‘shepherd’s hut’ holiday with basic amenities and accommodation that is not the best. So enter a new world of delight at GoldenValley Shepherd’s Hut! When you arrive, parking spaces within 30 seconds walk of the hut. Set high above a valley with the most magnificent views, this delightful hut boasts panoramic french windows through which you enter into the dining and kitchen area. In inclement weather you can revel in the views from a well heated and well equipped small kitchen, with a dining table, hob, microwave and very efficient fridge. The movable table which hides away in a niche when not needed, allows really great dining, but the ability after a meal to open the two large side doors, and relax in the dining chairs to soak in the incredible views. Cows down the valley, sheep a little further away. Great varieties of bird life, and in this year of poor numbers of butterflies, a great range of species enjoying the wild flowers which abound here. In warm weather a choice of deck chairs and outside dining with tables and chairs allows al fresco dining at its best. But this is only the start! As you enter this hut, to your right is the bathroom. It’s probably the best use of space I have ever seen! A large walk in shower, a generous wash hands basin and toilet are surrounded by beautiful tiling and a magnificent heated towel rail, which if truth be told, provides a great ambient heat source for the whole hut, although there is an electric oil heater and a fan heater should that be required. On the others side of this well designed living space is a generous double bed, with a window by one’s feet. On an impulse we chose to sleep at the window end, and leave the window wide open. What a joy to doze off with the stars and the moon almost within touching reach! An extremely comfortable bed with a topper mattress.

Please do not 100% rely on sat nav, as took on far too many miles along country lanes, basically head for dorstone, and just about 1 mile of country lane

Self catered, however host left milk, tea bags and coffee and biscuits for us, also ample cleaning products towels, and well equipped kitchen

That we hadn’t booked a longer stay 😄

A peaceful haven nestled in Herefordshire’s Golden Valley. Wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome and at home. The hut is tastefully decorated, very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. We really appreciated the milk, biscuits, water & jug of flowers kindly left for us on arrival. The weather was very good to us during our visit so we enjoyed our evenings sitting outside with a glass of wine drinking in the beautiful view, reading our book buys from Hay, and watching the house martins. This may become our new bolthole. Thank you for a delightful stay!

A perfect Shepard’s hut in the most incredible location. Hosts were amazing, she was able to dry all our wet clothes for us after getting absolutely drenched. 5 star hosts. Would highly recommend and will book again.

This space was exceptionally well-designed, private and the views were outstanding. Our hosts were friendly, kind and welcoming. Truthfully, we couldn’t believe our luck that we had discovered it. We are planning return trips already.
