The shepherd's hut was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Medwyn is super helpful, and very quick to respond to enquiries. If you want a quite couple of days away I would highly recommend.

"Great stay at Cwtch Winnie shepherds hut."
Beautiful location and perfect accommodation. Friendly welcome from our host, who couldn't have been more helpful. The hut had everything we needed, and the bathroom was spotlessly clean, with a lovely warm shower. It was very cosy, and super toasty with the log burner going! Our dog Nellie loved meeting Winnie and Ben and the morning visits from the hens. We came by train and were able to walk to the accommodation fairly easily. We'll definitely book to come again.

"Absolutely fantastic stay, loved it so much I stayed a couple more nights."
The shepherds hut has everything you need, it's super cosy and the toilet block is very clean. Great location. The host goes over and above anything I've experienced anywhere else. I appreciated the check-ins and advice for places to visit and help when my car had trouble. I can't recommend the site and owners enough 10/10 all round!
Thank you for your wonderful review we very much appreciate taking the time to review your stay and for staying the extra few days to have more adventures in North Wales . We look forward to welcoming you both again in the future Property Owner

"What an amazing place to stay."
I had a 4 night trip with my 8yr old daughter, who stated 'it was the best holiday of her life'. An amazing location for some peace and tranquility and an excellent base to explore the costal sites, Anglesey and Snowdonia. The owner was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. 10/10 we will certainly return again. P.S. say hello to Winnie from us.

The property
Old Colwyn 2.9 miles.
Cwtch Winnie Shepherds Hut, a traditional, single-storey holiday home is nestled amidst the serene countryside of Dolwen, near Old Colwyn, North Wales.
The Shepherds Hut has the name of Cwtch Winnie for the following reasons.
Cwtch’ has no literal English translation, but is an emotionally significant embrace and an intrinsically Welsh word that evokes a sense of home, being a special sort of cuddle.
And that it is: a ‘cwtch’ (pronounced ‘kutch’, to rhyme with ‘butch’) is the Welsh word for a cuddle or hug, but it’s also so much more than that.
Its second meaning is a cubbyhole or cupboard; a small space in which to store things safely.
Blend those two meanings and you get a better idea of what the word means: it’s the wrapping of your arms around someone to make them feel safe in the world.
That is exactly how a cwtch ought to make you feel: safe, warm, comforted.
Winnie our black Labrador is head of PR and always makes our guests welcome.
So naming our hut 'Cwtch Winnie' was an obvious choice when guests stay with us and remember the warm welcome we offer at Pen Cefn Farm Holiday. With a rural location, a toasty woodburning stove, and an open-plan layout, this property welcomes couples, solo travellers, and their furry friends, idyllic for a romantic escape to Conwy.
Step inside this charming single-storey retreat and be greeted by a homely studio-style living space.
After a day of adventures, head back to your holiday hut and pop your feet up by the warmth of the woodburning stove.
Cosy up with your loved one as the evening grows darker and catch your favourite movie on the Smart TV.
Rustle up a yummy breakfast in the kitchen area, while the dinner table awaits for a candlelit dinner for two.
When sleep calls drift off to sleep in the double bed, catching a glimpse of the stars from the window.
For added convenience, there is an external shower room, featuring a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.
Step outside to discover the wraparound garden, boasting a delightful decking area, ideal for having lunch at the picnic bench, and a large lawn area to let your furry friend have a play.
Don't forget to take advantage of the chiminea, where you can relax and unwind around as the sun sets.
Explore the nearby coastal town of Colwyn Bay, where you can relax on the golden sands of Colwyn Bay Beach, meet exotic animals at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, or enjoy a leisurely boat ride on Eirias Park Boating Lake.
For a day of traditional seaside fun, head to Llandudno to stroll along the iconic Llandudno Pier, delve into the history of the Great Orme Mines, and indulge in delicious food at Dylan's.
Unwind, recharge, and reconnect with nature at Cwtch Winnie Shepherds Hut, a peaceful pet-friendly haven in the heart of Dolwen, North Wales.
