Cwtch Winnie Shepherds Hut sits in the peaceful countryside of Dolwen, North Wales. This traditional single-storey hut offers stunning panoramic views across the Welsh landscape. It's named after the Welsh word 'cwtch' (a meaningful embrace) and the owner's black Labrador, Winnie, who might pop by to say hello.

The surrounding area is bloody gorgeous. Just 3 miles from the coast, you're perfectly positioned to explore Colwyn Bay Beach or venture into Snowdonia's mountains. After hiking the trails or visiting Llandudno Pier, you can return to your private deck.

Cwtch Winnie Shepherds Hut Reviews

Maureen
Very friendly owners with lovely dogs, spectacular view! Perfect Shepherd hut, maybe during a real winter the short walk to the shower and toilet might be a bit inconvenient. But we were very lucky with sunny mild weather in November. We had a peaceful and relaxing week.
We had a wonderful stay, peaceful, relaxing and just whst we needed. 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.
Kirsty
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.
Great stay in this lovely shepherds hut. Beautiful location, fabulous views. Everything we needed was supplied, hosts very friendly, would recommend
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 checkins and advice for places to visit and help when my car had trouble. I can't recommend the site and owners enough 1010 all round!
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. 1010 we will certainly return again. P.S. say hello to Winnie from us.
