Reviews

We loved our stay in your cottage, the fact there was no WiFi or signal was very wholesome and waking up to the donkeys was very cute :)

Miss L,

Great little place, very rural as expected. Accommodation was comfortable, hot tub with a view was great, nice lake and cute donkeys!

Mr P,

The cleanliness did let the hut down. All around needed the the finishing touches to be looked at! The Hut and communal areas. We saw the owner once as he was very chatty and welcoming!

Mr Eirian H,

Such a dreamy weekend at the sky hut with the sounds of all the animals from geese to donkeys to sheep and all the other farm animals. I normally sleep with earplugs but loved listening to them throughout the night and waking up to the sound of the countryside. When I first booked the sky hut, I thought only of the stars at night but it was also ideal for the daytime. We had lovely weather but with quite a breeze so to be able to sit inside with the roof open was perfect! Although things could have been cleaner, the accommodation was worth the trip. The big negative was the hot tub. There was only one hot tub between the sky hut (2 people), the dragons eye (2 people), 2 families in the glamping pods (7 people) and two cottages (4 people). That was one hot tub between 15 people which is just unsanitary and unappealing - baring in mind there was also another pod not booked this weekend. The system for the hot tub was also a downside as everyone wanted to be in at the same time on an evening as they tended to leave the site throughout the day meaning it was always booked up. Also something to note is that the farm is within the site and of course, the smells carry so if you don't like strong farm smells, it's possible this isn't the stay for you!

Miss Paige C,

Everything was great and it was a really unique stay. We especially liked the welcome hamper provided by the host! It was great to go in spring as there were lambs in the field right next to our hut & the donkeys came over regularly which was cute. We liked that the hot tub was bookable but you have to do this as soon as you arrive as the other spaces were quickly filled up by the other pods. We felt there could have been a few more utensils (such as serving spoons) and the shower was quite difficult to get to the right temperature but other than that, a great stay! If you’re planning on coming we’d recommend bringing some blankets and mosquito spray as we found these meant we could keep the roof open longer!

miss A W,

I prefer booking directly with the owners for better communication.

Mrs Helene P,

Sky Hut offers a beautiful and completely unique retreat for two, on the shores of a lovely lake on a family farm in West Wales. With stunning countryside and sky views, the cabin also enjoys additional features on site, including a hot tub, communal area and games/laundry room, shared with another cabin and 3 small pods. Set apart from the pods, the cabin is closer to the lake and also enjoys its own patio area to make the most of this beautiful setting.

The village of Mydroilyn and Gilfach Inn is within 1.5 miles, whilst Bardsey View is 2.2 miles, featuring a bar and restaurant. A village shop and pub / restaurant (Llanina Arms) can also be found in the neighbouring village of Llanarth (4.5 miles). Cardigan Bay's nearest beach (Cei Bach) is less than 6 miles and the picturesque seaside resort of New Quay is just 7 miles, where you will find a wide range of mouth-watering restaurants, cafes etc. It is also home to a lovely Blue Flag sandy beach and bottle nosed dolphins, porpoise and seals which reside in Cardigan Bay. A 12 mile journey inland brings you to the rural town of Lampeter, also known as the smallest university town in the whole of Wales and the British Isles.

Dotted with pretty little resorts and stretches of spectacular Heritage Coastland, Cardigan Bay has something for everyone. The Georgian harbour town of Aberaeron lies 8 miles to the north. This architectural gem is full of interest. There's a Sea Aquarium, the famous Harbourmaster Restaurant and the National Trust's Llanerchaeron estate. Travel inland from Aberaeron to the Teifi Valley. A favourite with visitors is Cenarth Falls, a famous beauty spot.

Travel on the narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway from Aberystwyth and experience the waterfalls at Devil's Bridge or visit the ruins at Strata Florida Abbey, near Pontrhydfendigaid in the Cambrian Mountains. Sky Hut is the perfect base, whether you wish to explore the wonders of Wales, or choose to relax in the comfort of your cabin whilst admiring the beautiful surroundings.
