Cysgod y Bugail

Having spent so many years camping and now looking for a little more comfort, the hut suited me perfectly.

With all the basic facilities available, and surprisingly good WiFi, I really enjoyed my weeks stay. Would certainly consider returning.

It’s in a lovely spot.

Quiet and picturesque. Easy to find. As other reviews have said, it’s small and the bathroom is tiny. But I liked that - it’s cosy and there’s a cute working log burner that makes it even cosier on cool evenings. The owner was very friendly on the phone.

Loved it, so relaxing , just what we expected.

Gwyneth was really nice ,helpful and approachable. We just had to point out a slight repair needed to the step that was minor . We’d love to go again without hesitation. The place was spotless as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd stay at Cysgod y Bugail.

It is peaceful, scenic and got everything you need to get away from busy life. A fabulous little shepherd’s hut that is comfortable, clean and lovely decor. Thanks again for a relaxing stay.

Had a wonderful holiday hut situated in lovely country side owner very helpful close proximity to beaches and restaurants five mins to Trearddur Bay short drive to super markets will recommend to friends and family.

I came to Cysgod y Bugail for some quiet chilling and reflection after a bereavement.

My stay was absolutely perfect. The hut had everything I needed. The view from the hut was wonderful with views of the sea and Holyhead Mountain. Although there is another hut about 20 metres away, the huts are so positioned that you get total privacy. The hut was so cosy. The bed was comfy and the shower was roomy and easy to use. The hut was well maintained and clean. I spent my days walking along the cliff tops and exploring the area around South Stack and Holyhead Mountain or just sitting on the veranda admiring the view and relaxing. The owner, Gwyneth visited half way through my stay with some eggs and asked if everything was alright and to let her know if ever there was anything I needed. A lovely stay.

Cozy and compact, we were lucky with the weather, no rain!

Amazing place to explore from

I have stayed here a couple of times before and always love it.

So tranquil and a real chance to relax in a brilliant location. All of the little touches make such a difference - right down to the pint of milk always waiting in the fridge. If I had one minor complaint - I don't know when the bathroom sink was last unblocked. It is less blocked now!

We had a wonderful stay at Cysgod y Bugail, the hut was so cosy and had a lovely view.

The host was very welcoming and helpful too! Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Lovely shepherd's hut set in a beautiful location, gorgeous views over the hills and the sea and so peaceful and quiet.

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.

We had a lovely weekend stay celebrating a 50th Birthday.

The owner made it extra special with decorations in the shepherds hut. Beautiful views and so quiet.We would definitely visit again.

This was our 3rd time of staying at this property and as on previous occasions we found the hut to be clean and comfortable.

The hut's facilities are more than adequate and the peaceful location with it's easy links to the surrounding area, is the reason we were returning visitors.

Beautiful little hut with stunning views across the fields and over the sea.

It was the perfect getaway for our honeymoon. We will be back! Thanks so much for making it so special and for adding the extra little touches for our special occasion

Lovely little hut in a beautiful location, amazing views amazing places to go on Holyhead.

The beach that's a 5 min drive away is brilliant for a swim with public bathroom and bins. Lovely owner very friendly and helpful, not that I didn't need anything much.

Gwyneth was fab and came to check whether we needed anything but also gave us privacy, she left me a lovely voicemail after we had checked out after our stay.

The location was perfect as we wanted to be tucked away in the Welsh countryside, but close enough to towns/beaches so we could keep our options open. The hut had everything we needed, I think if I could give any feedback it would be to maybe have a small microwave in there. I know space is limited so this may not be possible, but if you’re not eating out it can limit food options. Other than that we were really happy and the microwave wouldn’t be a deal breaker! We would definitely come back. Thank you, Gwyneth x

The shepherds hut was small but absolutely perfectly formed, a wonderful space in a fabulous place.

Unfortunately the weather was against us but nothing much anyone can do about that.

Great weekend in lovely shepherd's hut, perfectly formed, well equipped & clean

Lovely stay.

Very comfortable bed, very good shower. lovely setting. A good wi-fi signal. Very approachable and friendly owner. Could not fault it. Would recomend.

Really enjoyable week once again, having previously stayed in the other Shepherds Hut on the site - preferred this one for the addition of a bit of wardrobe space and less visibility of the access road.

Great location to explore the scenery and read a book. Enjoyed the wood fire but definitely had to keep opening the window with the heat - very efficient! Great week and will be coming back in the future.

This was our second visit to this Shepherd's Hut as we enjoyed our stay so much.

Our host Gwyneth was a joy, careing and could not do enough for us. Loved every moment of our stay, the woodburner gave a extra cozy feeling, but you only need 1 log as the hut warms very quickly. The views and sunsets were memorable. Only negative was being sad to leave!!

We had a lovely week at the shepherds hut.

Location was perfect, right on the doorstep of the RSPB reserve, South Stack Lighthouse, and Holyhead Mountain. Views are amazing, and the hut was cosy. Gwyneth is a lovely lady, nothing too much trouble, and even offered us an extra night free of charge, as housekeeping were not coming until the following day! Three adorable little donkeys were in the nearby field, we took them treats of carrots and apples. We would definitely recommend this for a stay on the beautiful island of Anglesey, and we will be returning soon!

We had an absolute fantastic stay in the sheperds hut.

Superb location, excellent facilities for the price paid and Anglesey has some of the most beautiful spots in the uk. Gwyneth was an excellent host, very kind and caring. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to spend some time in nature.

Stunning surrounding really good location lovely and peaceful gwyneth was a lovely host and was on hand if needed comfortable and was spotless could not of asked for anything more will be defiantly returning

Wonderful little property, in a beautifully secluded area, but within easy reach of a town.

Great location overlooking the bay with views of gorgeous sunsets. Despite its size, the property has everything you need and certainly doesn’t feel too small. We absolutely loved it, and had a fantastic week, both relaxing at the shepherds hut, and exploring the various bays, nowhere is very far away. Lovely owner who was happy to help.

No tv but the fantastic view out over the open fields and the ocean more than makes it well worth doing without a tv.

One of the most beautiful view's I have ever experienced.

We had an amazing time in the Shepherds hut, there was everything you needed.

The scenery was fantastic. We will definitely be back next year .

Had a lovely stay would definitely book again honestly can’t think of anything I would change with the accommodation the owner was friendly came and said hello and told us where to find her if we needed anything (which we didn’t) and then left us to it loved the peace and quite just how a relaxing holiday should be, for people staying in the future restaurants and pubs are few and far between but we loved the seacroft down at Trearddur bay and unlike all the others there is no need to book a table

We always have a lovely break at Bodwarren.

The Shepherds hut has all the amenities necessary for one or two people to holiday in comfort. The views are outstanding and when not out exploring the island it's nice to just spend a day sitting outside and admiring them. We have stayed at the huts on four occasions and will do so again.

Our stay was everything we were hoping for.

Cosy cabin with the calming sounds of the surrounding countryside to send you off to sleep and wake you in the morning. Our host provided us with all the materials for making a fire and was attentive without being intrusive.

This shepherds hut was situated in a beautiful area of Anglesey.

The accommodation is compact and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners were so welcoming and friendly and shared their local knowledge of places to visit, walking trails, what's on etc. Thank you for the "basics" provided - tea, coffee, milk, water, biscuits. The sunsets were spectacular and the night sky beautiful without light pollution. I spent the days exploring and the evenings sat on the deck soaking up the peace, quiet and ever changing scenery. I will definitely be back.

Lovely cosy clean retreat with everything we needed for a restful holiday.

Gwyneth was a very friendly host who was there if we needed her. The little extras in the van were a lovely touch & gratefully received. We loved hearing & watching the little lambs & watching the cattle on the balcony, coupled with gorgeous sunsets..... PERFECT!! Thankyou & hopefully we'll be back sometime

So much beautiful surroundings and so very quiet.

I wanted a few days of relaxation and to switch off from the hustle and bustle of life, and this break smashed that. Great little get away place, you wouldn’t know you were on a working farm, the animals were quiet. It was amazing to wake up and enjoy the views and the quiet of the morning. Well equipped and quality items, great attention to detail. Thank you for such a wonderful stay

We had a great stay here!

This is the perfect hideaway, stunning location and shepherd's hut.

Lots of walks nearby, dramatic coast and wildlife too.

Excellent.

The accommodation was immaculate and the location unique. A wonderful time in a very beautiful part of the world. The welcome was genuine and relaxing from the start and I would not hesitate in recommending Sykes cottages.

It's not too far off the beaten track but it is so peaceful, even the farm animals seemed quiet.

A lovely place to unwind and recharge.

Gwyneth proved to be very considerate, and the small touches of decor made all the difference.

Peaceful and charming, I was sad to leave and shall encourage all I know to book this holiday Shepherd Hut.

Fantastic stay!

Peaceful, tranquil, beautiful views, a perfect escape from a busy life - just what we were looking for! Hut was well equipped and comfortable, we will definitely be visiting again

Amazing views, totally tranquil surroundings & everything we needed provided for in the Shepherds hut.

The property owner was great, making sure we were comfortable & had everything we needed. We will be booking again as soon as we can. If you want peace & quiet, like nice walks and being in nature this is a great place to visit.

excellent location, owner friendly, hut excellent

Lovely peaceful shepherds hut wonderful break for that essential recharge.

Thoughtful gift of fresh eggs from the farm was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend

water pressure not great shower hot and cold apart from this perfect week and we will return

Such a lovely holiday, staying in the shepherds hut was wonderful.

The views from the hut and the beauty of the area were both stunning, a week was not long enough. Gwyneth was amazing, making us feel so welcome. Her knowledge of Anglesey and her suggestions on the various places to visit were much appreciated.

Beautiful shepherd’s hut in a beautiful location.

We had a wonderful break!

Lovely accommodation with fantastic views just the place to unwind and relax.

Wow.

. what a place. Absolutely loved this place, great location, great walks and amazing wildlife

Just what I needed.

Small cozy and very comfortable accommodation. Amazing views. Very welcoming. Stunning walks straight from the door.

Superb location, friendly owner, very comfortable and clean.

Fantastic views, lovely setting. Very well appointed. Perfect peaceful break. Close to pretty rocky bays and walks. We really enjoyed our time and would recommend this wonderful Shepherds Hut. (We were even tempted to buy one like it!) We hope to stay again.

What a wonderful place!

The location is stunning, with views of the coastline and beyond and only a few minutes drive from the town and all the facilities you need. Gwyneth is a star, welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for her. I wouldn't hesitate to book a hut or cottage at her farm again.

We loved staying in this shepherd's hut.

The scenery was great and the standard was of a very high quality. We went by train from London and hired a car from Hertz in Holyhead at a very reasonable price, which made it much easier for visiting this beautiful island. The coastal walks were wonderful. Our host Gwyneth was lovely and very welcoming and helpful. We definitely will visit and stay there again.

This shepherds hut is set on a lovely working farm very near to Holyhead mountain.

The standard was amazing with all top quality furnishings and fittings. Gwyneth our host was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Perfect for a chilled holiday yet so near to Trearddur Bays lovely beach. I would recommend to everyone to try a Shepherds hut and I’ll certainly be going back there

The wonderful total isolation, the stunning views, the natural environment and watching the wildlife - mainly birds some quite rare like the choughs sitting outside in family groups in the field next to the Shepherd's Hut.

A delight to wake up to the sounds of cows, sheep and birds. Definitely a place to 'stand and stare'. You need binoculars to benefit most from this; amazingly a small pair were provided. For the delights of a true dark sky I benefitted from having my own binoculars. Zero light pollution. Zero any pollution. Glorious skies but especially at sunrise and sunset. Loved the isolation from other people and especially not having any WiFi and only very occasional signals i.e. 3G and 4G. A real digital detox. Many lovely walks in the area, and some even quite challenging like Holy Mountain but all perfectly safe for a woman - of a certain age! - on her own. Very generous and hospitable proprietor/farmer. Perfect accommodation for anyone needing to escape the mayhem and madness of modern city life. Easy to get to - London to Holyhead by train - no car - just shank's pony! Ideal escape to reboot the system. Thank you.

Simply brilliant !

Could not fault any thing at all

Stunning location, fabulous accomodation, friendly and welcoming host.

Perfect for us and we thouroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Gwyneth. Phil & Heather xx

Wow!

I don’t really want to say how lovely this Shepherd’s Hut is because then everyone will want to go! Thanks to Gwyneth for being so welcoming and helpful. We had such a happy holiday. Loved the hut! Loved Anglesey! We have already re booked for August. Lindsay

Had a brilliant relaxing time batteries recharged now Such a lovely place and the owner made us feel so welcome would definitely go back Thank you
