Cuckoo at Wild Valley Huts, Llanrhaeadr-Ym-Mochnant

Absolutely awesome! Cuckoo shepherds hut is completely charming and cosy with picturesque views across the valley. Inside is warm, beautifully designed with extra special finishing touches. Super comfortable bed and great shower with plentiful hot water on tap! Cotton robes were provided to use for going to the hot tub which was amazing, too! I also loved that fact that ecohand made products were provided for use, during my stay. Great base for visiting the waterfalls and exploring the surrounding valley. The local village is pretty and home to a friendly Caf serving Welsh breakfasts and tasty home baked treats. Also a fab Butchers, fish n chip shop and an interesting gift shop selling hand made crafts from local villages. The village is a good walk down the lane and along a public footpath through sheep fields and little woodland. Heather and Graeme have carefully thought about everything to create a homely and relaxing welcome at Wild Valley Huts. Even dog bowels, blankets and a dog library of toys! They were always happy to help me if I needed anything. I couldnt have wished for anything more. I have left feeling totally relaxed, inspired and will hold many treasured memories of this special place. Xena

Lovely quiet site not far from a village with good shops and other facilities, also not far from Pistyll Rhaeadr. Llyn Vyrnwy half an hour's drive. Very easy to find on Google maps Dog loved the hut and the dog library, generally the property was very dog friendly with bowls and a dog blanket. We loved the hot tub and the wood burning stove, and the bad and pillows were amazingly comfy. Not keen on the rain shower or very small sink, but personal preference. Lane up from village was tough going sometimes. Internet was off for a day but a surprise bottle of birthday prosecco made up for it. Fresh bread was fantastic. Great for a weekend or midweek break.

The property was amazing! Loved the location. Booked this on a whim at 3am peaceful and perfect. My partner is allergic to feathers so pillows were removed before we arrived. Nothing was too much. Fresh bread was a nice touch. Hot tub didn't get warm enough the 2nd day maybe due to the local water source heating system. Still can't fault it. You need to stay here if you want to sit back and unwind. We will be back

We had an amazing stay at Cuckoo hut It is a perfect getaway spot for a relaxing holiday and has plenty to do nearby! The inclusion for dogs as part of the holiday is better than what we have ever seen The dog toy library and enclosed field space definitely kept our dog entertained! We also loved meeting Goose and Maverick as the resident dogs. Our only feedback is that it would be nice to have more hooks to hang wet clothes for rainy stays but other than that, amazing! Thank you!

Wow! We spent a fabulous midweek break at the Cuckoo Hut. When we arrived the hut was beautifully prepared spotless. Really nice touches. Fresh bread in the bread box, a 'dog throw' for the bed. The hot tub was on and ready. The kingsize bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space for 2 people and our 2 dogs. Bathroom was just right. The decking was perfect for the dogs and well enclosed. Very easy to walk from the door around the surrounding lanes. Quick drive to other stunning walks. Just so peaceful. H and G are fabulous hosts and very thoughtful kindly gave us some Rhubarb to take home. This is such a nice place. We would definitely recommend and hope to return ourselves.

Graeme and Heather were excellent and attentive hosts. they were very welcoming and made it clear that they were always on call throughout our stay

We had a great stay at Wild Valley Huts. We stayed in the Cukoo lodge and it was in our opinion the best property on the site. The views were stunning, it was cosy and the local walks were great. On arrival, the owners had made us some bread which was a very nice touch, it was still warm when we arrived. Heather and Graeme were excellent hosts, very friendly and came and chatted with us before we left. The hot tub was the icing on the cake and we were in it every night. We will most definitely be returning in the future.

Lovely relaxing holiday in peaceful rural setting. Shepherds hut was great, very compact with everything to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Heather and Graeme were great hosts, welcoming and unobtrusive. Freshly baked bread a lovely treat. Very dog friendly, walks from the door, ideally situated for adventures further afield. British weather came to the party as well so 5 stars from me.

We had the best stay as a little baby moon. The hut is gorgeous with everything that you need, the outside space is perfect for relaxing in the evenings. Heather couldnt have been more helpful if she tried, going above and beyond. We will certainly be back, with a little one in tow!

If you are pondering then ponder no more this is an excellent secret escape. We stayed in the Cuckoo hut, highly recommended. Beautifully done out, well equipped, amazing scenery & the hot tub is the icing on the cake. Heather & Graeme are perfect hosts, much appreciated & a big thank you to you both from Marie & Lee

Very clean, very well equipped and maintained. Extras like a cafetire and corkscrew which are often missing in many properties. Felt luxurious and homely.

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely part of the world and the owners have really thought about every detail to ensure people enjoy their stay.

A fantastic location. The accommodation was spotless the owners Heather and Graeme were amazing. Welcomed us with fresh warm bread on arrival. Willing to offer advice on particular walking routes. Set in a tranquil beautiful valley the scenery is absolutely stunning. Sunrise and sunsets were awesome and the zero light pollution was exquisite for star gazing. Flo our Border Collie loved the safe dog friendly environment and meeting the owners 2 dogs Maverick and Goose Thank for a truly memorable short holiday and will definitely be back again.

Loved my stay at Wild Valley Huts. I stayed in Cuckoo Hut with my dog Bruno whilst my mum stayed over in the bunkhouse. Cuckoo hut was perfect. Clean, bed was comfy and had great facilities. Had a lovely friendly welcome from owners as well. Is dog friendly too with a field onsite fot them too. Bowls are also provided for dogs too which is a nice touch. Lots to do in nearby areas. We went into Llangollen, to lake Vyrnwy and iron works museum all of which were around 30 min drive away but well worth it. Amazing scenery and it was lambing season so got to see lots of lambs. Such a peaceful atmosphere will stay again and recommend you in the future too. Thanks again for a lovely stay here.

We have just returned home from our 4 night stay. Graeme and Heather were very welcoming and attentive. Accommodation itself was spotless, we have had everything we needed for self catering holiday. We stayed in the Cuckoo hut. Location itself was perfect for us, as we wanted to escape the busy city life and have some quiet quality time together exploring but also being lazy and relax. We will be definitely recomending and visiting again as for us it was perfect getaway!

Perfect location, nice and quiet, beautiful views, nice walks, dog friendly

Throughly enjoyed my stay with Heather and Graham. They couldn't do enough to make sure i was comfortable during the storm. Would highly recommend anyone to visit for the views, wildlife and scenery plus excellent hospitality. I will definitely be returning.

Wild Valley Huts is the most beautiful place for anyone who wants to get off grid and unwind, surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty and wildlife. The owners are extremely helpful, it was an education for me to learn more about climate change, having an informative hand book that provides you with lots of advice and tips on blending into the environment, leaving things as we find them, leaving no footprints, and the efforts that the owners go to to make sure they are economically greener with an emphasis on biodegradable products and immaculate grounds. There is a small greenhouse where you can find lots of different vegetables and herbs growing and some plants are for sale too! When we arrived, the owners provided us with a bouquet of roses and chocolates, local specialty cheese & biscuits to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Zero light pollution great for anyone who likes to watch the amazing array of Birds that live here. This is our 2nd visit to Wild Valley Huts, we stayed in Red Kite in June and just returned from an amazing week of pure relaxation, staying at Cuckoo. So many points of interest, we enjoyed Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall, 240ft mountain waterfall, with a tea room. Wild Valley Huts nearest village is LlanrhaeadrymMochnant 2.5 mls down hill. The Village Square has all the essential facilities you will need to make your stay more comfortable with an award winning Butchers, post office, spar and craft shop, indian takeout and 2 public houses, one with an open fire, while the other does food too! The Fish & Chip shop is extremely popular and we enjoyed our hot chips and curry sauce after cool days walking and exploring. I would highly recommend you stay here if you want to get away and enjoy the nature and wildlife in abundance.

A wonderful stay! Everything was perfect and so peaceful.

We loved our stay here and felt very welcomed. ... accommodation was clean, well equipped and in a lovely location

Had a fab stay, our second time staying. We were well looked after and enjoy the tranquility of the area.

My partner and I were lucky enough to have chosen Cuckoo with Sykes cottages, we found the cottage very clean, and in beautiful surroundings, we met the owners who were very friendly, and will definitely be going back, but anyone thats looking for a quick break to get away from everything and everybody I would fully recommend,, I also give my permission for any of these comments to be used for advertising or recommendations .

We stayed at the Cuckoo shepherds hut and we were amazed at how lovely this place was. We had an amazing time, the relaxing countryside farm was just what we needed. Thank you so much for the stay and we will certainly be back again.

The place is amazing, could not fault it one bit! So worth the money for the beautiful scenery and environment surrounding the hut! Great place for dogs too! My dog had the best stay and we cant wait to book again for the future!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hut was clean and cosy, superb views and so peaceful. Owners are lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely go again.

The shepherds hut was totally amazing and perfect in every way. Spotlessly clean,immaculately furnished, beautiful views and wonderful hosts! Couldnt ask for more!! Paul and Diane from Cornwall.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at wild valley huts,the location was beautiful, views and very quiet ,the hut was very clean and the owners were friendly. Will book again definitely. Thankyou

A really peaceful and tranquil location to relax or to enjoy the excellent walking routes. Sat on the deck all you can hear are sheep, birds and the stream below heavenly! The hut is well thought out and everything is provided. We had to make use of the heating despite it being June but it made the hut toasty warm. The shower is great and there was plenty of hot water on demand. No phone signal at all bliss but the wifi at the hut is plenty strong enough for streaming iplayer etc. Our only tiny negative was there are no comfortable chairs inside the stools are ok for short use but not if you're sat playing card games when it's raining like we did! Some tips for other travellers the Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall is well worth a visit as are Chirk and Powis castles both National Trust and well within an hour's drive away. Oh and just to note that the roads around the hut are unsuitable for vehicles with low ground clearance. We had a lovely break at Cuckoo and would heartily recommend it!

What a wonderful find! So cosy and comfortable and impossibly clean. Fantastic location, the only sounds to be heard are the stream and the sheep in the opposite field. Heather and Graeme were such great hosts, so friendly, helpful and genuinely want their guests to have a great experience the croissants were fab !
