We are so looking forward to welcoming guests in 2024

‘Self isolation’ has always been an attractive feature of a stay here at Y Cwt Cwtch......, we have seen changing times, difficult times for many and for ourselves. Y Cwt Cwtch, our Shepherds Hut, has been our main income source backed up by seasonal working, for us both, locally.


We listen regularly to the advice being offered from the Welsh and UK Government, Welsh Tourism, Glamping Industry forums, our partners AirBnB and Hipcamp, on best practices in the light of the recent Covid pandemic, looking at what we can learn and ultimately what we can do to help during these situations, and to see how we can manage too. 

Our Guests see Hillcroft Escapes as a place where they can relax, where they can enjoy the outdoors and in relative isolation, we were reminded recently that one of our regular guests has actually never met us in person!


  • We will always open in line with advice from Welsh Government and our partners and adopt the latest guidance. 
  • We will always leave at least 24 hrs between guest stays, this will allow us to leave the hut for a safe period before going in to do the change over. Those that know us will appreciate that we keep both Y Cwt Cwtch and Spiggy Holes to a high standard and this will not change, we will focus a little more time on handles and touch surfaces.
  • We will still provide the basics, fresh laundered bedding and towels and would ask that you take away with you items you bring please.
  • If you do need anything during your stay you know you only have to ask.
  • A number of shops, local suppliers, cafe’s, restaurants and pubs offer take away & delivery services and to that point we are happy to facilitate where we can. We will provide regular updates for you when you arrive.



Bookings are being taken directly with ourselves or through AirBnB and Hipcamp where possible with low deposits and flexible booking policies.   AirBnB and Hipcamp often offer further information and guidance on their websites which you may find useful. 


Take care, stay safe and we look forward to welcoming you here.


Ian & Liz
