    Olwen was super kind and waited for us to arrive at night to do the check-in. She had the log burner running for us, so when we got to the hut it was warm and cosy. There was a river just behind the hut, and at night you could just fall asleep...

    Everything was perfect - down to the great flowers and shortbread on our arrival. Olwen is a lovely host and has thought of everything you might need (including a hot water bottle!) for your stay.

Welcome to our traditional Shepherds Hut at Frongoch ,near Bala North Wales. Our delightful Shepherd's hut sits comfortably on our old garden set near a stream overlooking tranquil pasture land. We are a working farm, where the shepherd's hut provides a cosy and welcoming retreat, with a traditional wood burning stove. well equipped for your arrival. Outside is a spacious decking with seating and BBQ. Beautiful night sky and tranquil sound of the stream running nearby. Spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. Tea,coffee,sugar,milk and cookies available on your arrival. Twin beds which can be king bed also.
I have been welcoming guests from all over the world here for the last 30+ yrs, and made many friends from all over the world. Last year I retired from the farmhouse B&B,and started a new venture Y Cwt Clyd / Cosy Hut the shepherd's hut, for friends and old and new guests who wish to explore Wales. I hope they will enjoy this new experience while staying here! Milk,tea,coffee,sugar and cookies are provided for your arrival.
Frongoch is well known for the National White Water Centre nearby which is popular for kayaking and white water rafting. 2016 the village of Frongoch commemorated the centenary of the 1916 Irish Easter Rising ,when we welcomed groups from Ireland and UK. This year GAA unveiled a plaque to commemorate the existence of our field called Croke Park. While the Irishmen were interned in Frongoch 1916 they organised athletics games and Gaelic Football matches on our field which they christened Croke Park. A museum has been built on the site of the Old Whisky distillery to replicate a cabin where they were interned in the North camp. The museum will be open this summer for visitors.
