Beneath a Starlit Sky

Leave your laptop at home, turn off your phone and enjoy the thrill of freedom from the tyranny of your gadgets as you enjoy a digital detox at this stunning getaway on the North Pembrokeshire coast.

Your eco-minded hosts built this cedar shepherd's hut with their guests' needs in mind – namely, escaping the everyday hustle and bustle and offering a chance to reconnect with nature, themselves and their partner.

Your hosts have found space for a comfy king-size mattress despite the compact footprint. Given the lack of light pollution out here, stargazing through the skylight from the comfort of your bed is truly breathtaking. Elsewhere, the kitchenette is perfect for cooking up light bites to eat at the dining table or in the outdoor dining area.

Set within its own private garden, the outdoor space has been planted with seasonal herbs, flowers and salad, which you're more than welcome to help yourself to. In addition, a fire pit makes for atmospheric evenings in nature.

Away from the charming retreat, you're a stone's throw from the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and approximately six miles from both the beautiful holiday hotspot of Newport and the bustling market town of Cardigan.
