About The Pod & The Shepherd Hut
Two Unique Hideaways on the Historic Llanfendigaid Estate, Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park
Steeped in history and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the Llanfendigaid Estate has been owned by the Nanney-Wynn family and their forebears since the earliest records began in AD 1241. Once stretching along the Welsh coast from Harlech to Aberystwyth, the Estate is now a cherished pocket of beauty within the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, one of the most attractive stretches of the Welsh coastline.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, creative inspiration, or a romantic escape, our two distinctive retreats, The Pod and The Shepherd’s Hut, offer the perfect base to unwind, recharge, and immerse yourself in this remarkable corner of Wales.
The Pod - Sleeps 3
A den for intrepid explorers, a restorative haven for creatives, or a romantic retreat for couples, this striking curved hideaway blends eco-conscious design with soothing interiors. Highly insulated with double glazing throughout, The Pod offers premium pod-life, not glamping.
Inside, you’ll find a compact yet fully equipped kitchen with an in-built fridge freezer, double electric induction hob, pocket microwave, and a coffee machine for your morning brew. Drift off in the cosy double bed with soft linen while birdsong lulls you to sleep. Large windows invite you to enjoy the views from bed. The ensuite wet room is surprisingly spacious, complete with a powerful shower, perfect after a day exploring the national park.
The Shepherd’s Hut - Sleeps 2
A charming retreat for romantics or solo adventurers, The Shepherd’s Hut offers a truly restorative stay with sweeping natural views. Inside, rich green tones, handpicked décor, and a wood burner create a warm, nest-like ambience. The roomy wraparound sofa transforms into a cosy pull-down bed at night, where you can stargaze through the glass roof before drifting off. The kitchen includes a hob, microwave oven, fridge, and kettle, all you need for delicious meals in. The ensuite shower room features an invigorating power shower for a refreshing start to your day.
Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy comfort, style, and the beauty of the Welsh landscape right on your doorstep, with wildlife, starlit skies, and the soothing sounds of nature as your constant companions.
