About this property
Anne’s Hut is actually two luxurious shepherd’s huts linked by a decking patio area, set in a green and totally secluded meadow and on the edge of a natural wood. Situated in the vicinity of the ancient settlement of Penterry, it really is the perfect retreat for two.
If you’re hoping to get away from it all, Anne’s Hut plunges you into total seclusion amongst the greenery and the tranquillity of the Wye Valley. Equipped and furnished to a high standard, these shepherd’s huts make ingenious use of space while including everything you need to enjoy your stay. One of the huts is the main living area, with cosy wood burning stove and modern amenities, while the other is the luxury bathroom. The huts are linked by a decking patio area. Below the huts is the fire pit, where you can try your hand at cooking outdoors or lounge in the comfy chairs and hammock. It is the ideal spot for relaxing after a day’s exploration, listening to the birdsong of the evening chorus all around you.
The ancient settlement of Penterry sits high on the hill between Chepstow and Tintern. From a spot just above Anne’s Hut which once housed a Roman Fort you have a perfect 360 degree view featuring seven counties. Designated as an aonb, the local area is beautiful and steeped in history. Chepstow boasts the oldest stone built castle in the land and Tintern with its majestic Abbey and stunning setting is a must to see. For gastronomes, there is a Michelin restaurant just 20 minutes away and there are many excellent eateries close by. If castles are your thing then there are five within 20 minutes and Llanthony Priory which is outstandingly beautiful is just 40 minutes away.
Also available to book at this location is Orchard Cottage (sleeping two guests).

Wonderfully equipped Shepard's hut in a beautiful rural location, perfect for a true retreat from the world, we planned to explore the local area, but we enjoyed the peace so much we stayed sitting with the little log fire and a good book watching the squirrels in the woods instead. There is a wealth of information in the local guide left in the hut including laminated maps for walking and cycling. Euan was a wonderful host and looked after us well, leaving a host of goodies for us, and even brought us some delicious sausages to cook on the fire the first night, and helped us out with some petrol before we left! The lanes up were a little dicey, in the dark and rain, I'd recommend approaching from Chepstow side, whilst a bit longer, a much more straightforward journey! Unless you like a long walk, don't walk to the shops, the local one in the village had closed down, and the next one left us with an 8mile round-trip, the bath was certainly very welcome after! We will most certainly be back, and maybe even adventure out next time.

Euan made us feel so welcome when we first arrived and had set the area up beautiful, it was like walking into a fairy tale. Both my husband and I agree that this was the best holiday we have been on. We got the peace and quiet of the countryside with only the owls and robins as neighbours but also the luxury of hot running water, amazing showers, magical bathtub, inside kitchen and an amazing bed. They have really thought of all your needs, comforts and experiences whilst staying with them. The hammock and outside chairs where a dream to have lazy days on with the firepit all prepped for cooking. We felt like we were in our own little world and would have stayed forever. Also the fact that Euan built these huts himself and all the added features to make this stay truly amazing and memorable. Thank you so much for everything, even the fairy who topped up the logs for the fire pit! We will be seeing you again. If there was an option for more Stars you would have given them.
