About Harry’s Hut, Gladestry
Harry’s Hut provides snug overnight accommodation in a traditional shepherd’s hut that sits in a farm paddock surrounded by the amazing scenery and glorious wildlife habitat of the rural Welsh Marches. The area is also one of the UK’s most renowned dark sky zones.
This setting provides our guests with a secluded and incredibly tranquil visitor experience. Besides being ideal for people travelling with pets and horses, the paddock contains a stone-built threshing
barn — great for cookouts or for simply enjoying the view of our lovely Radnorshire Hills on a rainy day. There are plenty of books and board games to keep everyone in the hut occupied too.
Harry’s Hut’s accommodation offers a comfortable double bed plus a double sofabed, making it perfect for families and friends. Blackout blinds on every window ensure there’s nothing that’s going to disturb our guests’ sleep either.
The hut’s woodburning stove and oil-filled radiator guarantee a super-cosy, warm stay — even on the coldest days and nights. There’s also a nice hot shower complete with towels, a basin and a proper flushing loo in the hut’s en-suite bathroom.
Our hut’s little kitchenette features everything needed for storing, cooking and eating food. And our hens lay fresh eggs daily, which we’re happy to give you along with tea, coffee, milk and bottled water. Bon appetit!

We had a wonderful one night stay at Harry's Hut which was cosy, peaceful and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Amanda was an amazing host and really... read more went above and beyond to make our stay special. She decorated the hut for my partner's birthday, brought over our home-cooked veggie lasagna, which was absolutely delicious and genuinely the highlight of our stay!We were particularly chuffed with how comfy the bed was and how dog friendly the site was with a an outdoor area so Frank could explore and relax which made the whole experience completely stress-free. Will look forward to staying again!

Were it not for the owners reaction to my accident on their garden hammock I would have been entirely satisfied with my stay. The accident occurred when I tried to... read more get onto the hammock which began swinging erratically. The cords holding it to the frame snapped and I fell onto the metal bar running along the ground. It had not been possible to make contact with them that day and we had to leave early next morning but when I received a message from Amanda to contact her about the hammock I responded immediately and told her what happened and that I had bruising from the fall. She proceeded to blame me for the cord breaking insinuating that I was overweight , and that I had lied about hurting myself. That I had somehow mis treated the hammock. I am in my 70s a size 12/14 and was extremely cautious getting into the hammock. She then demanded that I pay her £25 for the broken cord, not interested that I could have seriously hurt myself.

The shepherds hut itself is really cute, with everything you might need for a comfortable stay and easily slept my wife and I and our teenage son. Amanda is an excellent host, she is very kind, offering to pick our bags up for us in Kington, which we politely declined. She is also an excellent cook, offering to cook a tasty choice of meals, which I can highly recommend. It also meant we didn't have to cook or carry our evening meal. We also went for a breakfast hamper, providing us with the ingredients for a delicious full English breakfast. We would definitely stay again.

Amanda is very responsive & was on hand for anything we needed. Would definitely recommend for a recharge. 🫶🏼
