A romantic shepherd's hut getaway for two on the Pembrokeshire coast within walking distance of Newgale Beach

The waves dotted with wet-suit clad surfers, the expansive sands of Newgale Beach, the coastal footpath threaded out across the headland… it’s easy to see why Ian and Liz Haughey fell in love with this part of St Brides Bay years ago. It was only a matter of time before they’d hop across the border from England and move here for good. Now, just two miles back from the beach, their pretty Pembrokeshire home is not only a seaside shelter for them but also a handy home-from-home for others, with a brand new cosy shepherd’s hut open for business in the meadow beyond, perfect for a couple’s retreat.

Handcrafted in Oswestry, Y Cwt Cwtch follows a classic shepherd’s hut designed with a curved, corrugated rooftop and insulated wooden walls. Inside, there’s a compact kitchen area, an en-suite shower room and a double bed that folds out neatly from the wall, cheating space and allowing for a larger living area during the daytime. An eggshell blue interior mirrors the paintwork outside the hut, while attention to detail – from the Puffin patterned pillows to the Welsh cakes on arrival – show that Liz and Ian really have thought of everything. At night you can light the wood burner and perch on the doorstep cupping a mug of coco, gazing up at the starry Pembrokeshire sky. It might be no surprise that the Welsh, Y Cwt Cwtch, translates as ‘the Cuddle Hut’ in English.

Beyond the stable-style front door the best of Pembrokeshire awaits. Most immediately, there’s a stream and slender stretch of woodland you can explore but, for most, it’s about heading back out onto the lane and following footpaths southwards to the beach. It takes a little over half an hour on foot to reach Newgale, where the sandy beach itself is almost two miles long, or you can drive there in under five minutes. A pub, café and surf shop back the beach, with lessons available for first timers, and bodies with boards bob in the water almost all year round. It’s a great place to join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, too, for a dramatic cliff-top walk to Solva, a pretty harbour village further west. Finish with a pint in the Harbour Inn before catching a convenient bus back home or drive instead onto nearby St Davids for gallery exploring, postcard shopping and an array of eating options.

'You Break' @ The Cabin

Cabin · Sleeps 1

Ever considered a ‘You’ Break? Ever had the time, never mind the inclination, to just have time away for yourself? Having a bolt-hole to take yourself away from constant communications, the internet, co-workers, meetings and other office distractions, to clear your mind of the associated mental clutter and focus purely on your own thoughts? a bolt hole to focus on you? a bolt hole that allows you to declutter yourself, nothing to do but spend time with ‘you’. Increasingly we have guests who come and stay here at Hillcroft for a few days away from the every day hustle and bustle, located so close to nature, the sea and solitude. Some people prefer total isolation, off grid, for a Bill Gates style ‘Think Week’ though we are seeing increasingly guests wanting to be fairly isolated, but having the peace of mind having someone close at hand. Isolation is achieved by having the bolt hole to yourself, to interact only if YOU want to, to spend time in comfort, to please yourself. Reflection time is often best during Autumn, Winter and early Spring where you can really connect with nature across the seasons, often bracing here in Pembrokeshire, though often surprisingly calm with ‘winter’ suns in the micro climates of the coastal margins. Just being in these spaces has many health and wellbeing benefits, investing in the time for yourself, away from distractions, allows you to reset, focus and evaluate your purpose and drive. Not forgetting the benefits of sitting outdoors of an evening, a log fire, clear night skies with little to no light pollution, just you and your thoughts. What we offer: Pick a week from October 2023 to 31st March 2024 Sunday check in early, to Friday, leave late. Minimum 5 night stay. Choose your bolt-hole, Y Cwt Cwtch, our well equipped Shepherds Hut or our popular Summerhouse Cabin Spiggy Holes. You’ll find all you need for a week away, in addition we can also provide a grocery service if required, either before your arrival or during your stay. Bedding and Towels are provided, though some guests do prefer the comfort of their own bedding and towels. Planning your ‘You’ Break? Definitely plan ahead, if you can, to ensure that meetings and deadlines are not going to play on your mind. Set a goal or two that you want to achieve for your ‘You’ Break, the five-day structure provides a specific start and stop date for the ‘You’ break. Having a structure provides motivation to delivering your goals though this shouldn’t be confused with achieving them or treated as a deadline, this can cause unnecessary stress and be a negative factor to creativity, not at all the ‘You’ breaks intended purpose. Use the structure as a framework, not a restraint. You may also want to pack some materials, books, white papers, slide decks, notebooks and pens, to encourage the flow of ideas. We can also help you connect with activities in the area if required including Yoga, meditation, coastal activities. You may just not! Preferring to just connect with your surroundings and the environment. Whatever your choice or preferences, invest in ‘You’. Need more inspiration? https://www.visitwales.com/inspire-me

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

We love staying at this shepherds hut. Ian was on hand to help if needed. Perfect for a couple get away. We enjoyed ice cream at the beach and watching the sun go down. The hut has everything you need for a coastal escape!

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

Lovely hut which had everything we needed, it was clean and well equipped and we loved the welcome Welsh cakes and local beer. It was so quiet and peaceful with the door opening out across fields. Wd recommend getting the bus from Pentcwm to Solva and walking back along the coast path, stopping off for an ice cream at Pointzcastle.

We loved staying in Y Cwt Cwtch. The shepherd's hut was clean and had everything we needed. Somewhere to hang a few clothes would have been a bonus but we managed and it wouldn't stop us returning. It was the perfect base for exploring the stunning Pembrokeshire coast.

Not private but comfortable stay

Spiggy Holes Summerhouse

Overall we had a lovely 2 days and the summerhouse was very comfortable. The only thing I had a slight issue with was the fact the summerhouse was at the bottom of the garden in close distance to the house. It didn’t feel very private. Perhaps if a fence or trellis was put up to divide the area it would help.

What a cute Cuddle Hut!

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

Perfect setting with a beautiful view The Cuddle Hut was very cosy and comfortable. It was equipped with everything you could have needed and the lay out was so well thought out. Very clean throughout and well decorated with thoughtful touches. Shower was lovely and hot and the pull out bed/collapsible table were very easy to assemble. We slept very well. We absolutely loved staying here and would definitely return. Thank you!!

Spiggy Holes Summerhouse

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a beautiful 2 nights at Spiggy Holes. It is very cute and cosy and provided a lovely base for 2 days in beautiful West Wales. It is a short drive away from so many beautiful spots; New Gale Beach, Solva Harbour, St Davids. The summer house itself is beautifully decorated with lots of gorgeous details which really made it a relaxing experience. The eco toilet was a bit of an experience! Some compost or sawdust would have helped ease us in!

Spiggy Holes Summerhouse

My Friend and I had a lovely a few days staying here, the area is beautiful and the hut is in an excellent location very near to beautiful beaches/blue lagoon. however it would have been nice to have some saw dust for the compost toilet as this helps to reduce odours, especially as the toilet is right next to the bed. I appreciate the environmentally conscious thinking behind it. Secondly it would have been lovely to have a warm welcome but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Spiggy Holes Summerhouse

Just returned from a short and happy holiday staying at Spiggy Holes. Great place and would recommend to anyone looking for a laid back and comfortable place to stay in this area. Lots of lovely beaches and amazing walks not too far away. Saw some seals bobbing around whilst on a walk along the costal path. Made our day :)

Spiggy Holes Summerhouse

I booked 2 nights at Spiggy's Hole. The location and setting is fantastic. The owners were also brilliant and the communication before our arrival was fab. Everything within the cabin was great, well heated, shower was great with very warm water. The kitchen was well equipped and the combination microwave and cooker worked really well. These are the reasons I didn't give 5* and this is just personal: the loo system is eco, which is fine, but we weren't very keen on how the toileting system works without going into too much detail!! We frequently use a campervan and my husband has to do the 'walk of shame' and he prefers this to the system at this accommodation. The mattress was also a bit too soft and the bed quiet noisy. Otherwise a brilliant place to stay. I would highly recommend this place.

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

We have just returned from a fabulous weekend break in Y Cwt Cwtch. We were really impressed by the high quality of the furnishings and fittings of the hut and the thought that had gone into equipping it. The Welshcakes and beer were a lovely touch. The hut was warm and cozy with effective heating and the shower was great with enough hot water. We loved the log burner and the fire pit. The coastline here is absolutely beautiful, the beaches are amazing and there are plenty of places to eat out. We look forward to returning.

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

My partner and I stayed here in the Y Cwt Cwtch back on the 16th of August (the review is late due to personal circumstances around Corona), but holy moly was this such a fantastic place to stay! The hut was absoloutley beautiful, just as pictured. You can really tell no expense was spared! The hut is a great size for two people, and extemley cozy with both an indoor fire and outdoor fire pit with lots of wood provided! You're made to feel so welcome off the bat with Welsh cakes and ale on your table upon arrival which is a fantastic personal touch. The stove and oven in the cabin was a fab and easy to use for when we wanted to spend a romantic evening in the hut rather than go out so you can easily self cater! The only thing that I could comment on is that there was quite abit of dog poop surrounding our hut which my partner actually stepped in when making his way to the fire pit, so it would probably be worth keeping an eye on the surrounding grass. Other than this everything was top notch and Im definitely going to be booking again next year. Thank you for being great hosts!

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

We booked Y Cwt Cwtch as an escape on our own for a couple of days. We do not live far away and know the area reasonably well but wanted to check out a few of the bays with a bit more time on our hands. What a great stay we had and the weather was really windy and wet most of the time but no problem when back in the hut as it was really cosy. The fire worked a treat and I have been a log burner user for many years but this little chap was a treat. Everything you needed was there including a very nice welcome pack "thank you". It would have been nice to sit outside during the evening but alas the rain decided that was not going to happen. We would really recommend this retreat. ps the shower and hot water were no problem at all, in fact very efficient .

Y Cwt Cwtch, the 'cuddle' hut

Booked Y Cwt Cwtch for a single night as a nice break from sleeping in a tent. Our stay was perfect in every way and we can't honestly think of anything wrong with the place. We were greeted by Ian who made us feel at home, answering any questions we had and let us know of things to do in the surrounding area. The hut itself is cosy and has everything that you could need; a log burner, shower, fully kitted out kitchenette and a small dining area that folds down into a comfy and spacious bed. For those that want to sit out under the stars, there's also a fire pit and all the stuff required to start a fire. The area is out of the way from main roads so is peaceful, but really easy to find. Thanks again for having us, we'll definitely be back Connor & Faith

Indoor wood burner, good shower, toilet, kitchenette, comfy bed. All you need for two. Room to park and have a fire outside. Quiet area, pretty easy to find if you follow the host instructions. Walkable to Newgale beach and a short drive to Solva, St David's and fairly close to Blue lagoon (old flooded quarry and walk) and restaurants / pubs driving distance.

From the host

When we initially opened Y Cwt Cwtch, the Shepherds Hut, it was with the intention to share this piece of Pembrokeshire with family and friends. Locating the Shepherds hut at Hillcroft took considerable time and discussion and we feel it was worth the time and effort to get this right. It was important that this would be a place where you could feel a million miles away from anywhere, a place that reflected tranquillity but where you could interact if you so wished. Initially we were apprehensive, from the first guests in June 2018 to today, so many people have loved staying at Hillcroft in all the seasons, taking advantage of the location as a base to visit Pembrokeshire, enjoy the coast and the places to visit. Some literally arrived, parked the car and spent everyday in and around the Shepherds Hut, enjoying the cosy hut during the storms, bathed out in the sun or sat around the fire pit under starlit skies, it has become a special place for many different reasons and more than we will ever know. We were reminded recently (by text) that one of our regular guests has actually never met us! In July 2020, we added our Summerhouse, Spiggy Holes, to Hillcroft and guests have enjoyed this quirky new space. By all accounts our Guests want to come here, where they can relax, where they can enjoy the outdoors and in relative isolation. We are a short 30 minute walk to the coastal path above Newgale beach, minutes drives to the havens and Marloes to the south, Solva and St Davids to the west, short drives to the Preseli Hills, Freshwater West, Tenby and Saundersfoot, there is so much to explore in Pembrokeshire.

Nearby attractions

It's a 30–40 minute walk to Newgale beach, which takes just over 5 minutes in the car. It's no more than a 10-minute drive to the pretty harbour village of Solva and less than 20 minutes to the diminutive 'city' of St Davids. All three are a must during your stay, with St Davids a great choice for an afternoons exploring, finishing at one of the many excellent eateries for dinner. From Newgale it's easy to hop onto the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and walk along the back of the bay to Nolton Haven, where there is another small nook of a beach, with expansive sands at low tide. In the opposite direction, the path brings you round dramatic headlands and bluffs to the harbour of Solva. Using the Puffin bus service makes one-way walks easy, with regular buses running throughout the main summer season (less frequent, but still running, our of peak season). There are heaps of other great beaches all the way around St Bride's Bay and beyond – Broad Haven, Little Haven and Marloes to name a few – making surfing and water sports and obviously popular activity. Newgale has surf shops with equipment for hire, with tuition for surfing, stand-up paddle boarding (SUPing), sea kayaking and wind-surfing.Need more inspiration? See the Visit Pembrokeshire website.

Food and drink

If you're down at Newgale beach there are a couple of decent cafés overlooking the sands, along with a pub and a hardware store. The local villages of Roch and Solva have convenience stores and places to eat – try MamGu (01437 454369), The Old Pharmact and Cafe on the Quay by day and The Cambrian Inn, Harbour Inn and the Ship in Solva by night. The Victoria Inn (01437 710426) in Roch for a pint from their own micro brewery, while St Davids is worth the extra couple of minutes in the car if you want more choice. Travel to the Druidstone Hotel (01437 781221), past Newgale, for the best of the views while you dine.
