After a day outdoors, nothing beats watching red kites soar overhead while you soak in the hot tub with a favourite drink.
Inside, this shepherd's hut punches well above its weight. The king-size bed (which can be made into twins) is "like sleeping on a cloud" according to reviews. You'll find a fully-equipped kitchen area with electric hob, microwave/combination oven and fridge/freezer. The shower room has powerful water pressure and the woodburner keeps everything toasty when the temperature drops.
Nearby attractions include Croft Castle (15 miles, 25 minutes), The Weir Garden (18 miles, 30 minutes), Ludlow's historic town (15 miles, 25 minutes) and Hay-on-Wye's famous bookshops (20 miles, 35 minutes). There's even a rare breeds farm in Kington worth visiting.
Snug On Lugg is perfect for couples wanting to reconnect without distractions. Guests confirm there's no light pollution here, so the stargazing from the hot tub is superb. Electric vehicle charging onsite is a rare bonus in this remote spot. The worst part? Having to leave.
