Welcome to The Charcoal Hut
A place to pause. To breathe. To feel held by nature.
One night stays are just £80 per night, perfect for couples on a hiking adventure, romantic break, or looking for a biker-friendly spot to stay.
A Private Woodland Hut in Wales
Hidden deep within the trees, where the light filters softly through leaves and the sound of running water hushes the world to stillness, you’ll find The Charcoal Hut.
It’s not just a place to stay – it’s a gentle invitation to slow down, to reconnect with yourself, with the land, and with the quiet kind of peace that stays with you long after you leave.
A Warm, Cosy Hut With Views
Biker Friendly with Covered Parking
Your Sacturary Among the Trees
What You’ll Find Here
A Handcrafted Shepherd’s Hut
Built with care, warmed by thoughtful touches, and designed for comfort in all seasons. There’s a big, snuggly bed, soft blankets, and all the space you need to nestle in.
Forest Views & Total Privacy
The hut sits in its own hidden glade, by a running stream and just a stone’s throw from a small lake. You’re surrounded by wildlife, birdsong, and forest silence – but just a short walk from us if you ever need anything.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
Cook breakfast in the open-air kitchen, shower under the sky (or inside if you prefer), and sit by the fire as dusk settles in. There’s parking for cars and bikes, and we’re always happy to help you get the fire going for a barbecue.
Eco-Conscious and a Space to Unwind
The hut sits in its own hidden glade, by a running stream and just a stone’s throw from a small lake. You’re surrounded by wildlife, birdsong, and forest silence – but just a short walk from us if you ever need anything.
Our Story
Why We Created The Charcoal Hut
We created The Charcoal Hut because we wanted to share something honest and beautiful. This plot of woodland in Wales, with its winding stream, visiting deer, dark skies, and quiet paths, has been our sanctuary for years. It helped us re-find our rhythm in a world that moves too fast. And now, we offer it to you – with open arms and a warm cup of tea.
Whether you’re a motorcyclist following the curves of the Brecon roads, a couple seeking stillness and starlight, or a solo wanderer looking to trade screens for silence and stories, The Charcoal Hut is a space just for you.
There’s no need to rush here. Let the birds wake you. Sit outside with a sketchpad or a book. Have your morning coffee beside the stream. Watch the mist roll over the forest from the warmth of the bed. Let the fire crackle as the stars come out. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of water and wake to the hush of trees.
This isn’t about luxury in the glossy-magazine sense. It’s about feeling deeply at home in the world again. It’s about cwtch – the Welsh word for a hug that feels like safety, warmth, and love.
Dinah and John are the perfect hosts.
The Charcoal Hut has everything you need to escape and relax in the most gorgeous setting, surrounded by trees, wildlife and an absolutely clear night sky.
The kitchen is fantastic, and at one point, we were eating our food with nosey Robins and Finches that had come along to investigate and eat from the feeder opposite our eating area, that we had just filled.
A great stay with fantastic hosts. We couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone, especially those that feel overwhelmed with 21st century living.
Thank you Dinah and John for a brilliant weekend.

A Note From Dinah & John
We’re not just offering you a night in a hut. We’re welcoming you into something deeply personal. This land has been part of our lives for years, and it was our wonderful daughter who helped us turn it into something to share.
We’re nearby if you need a hand, a fire lit, or a local tip for a hike, bike ride, or pub.
But otherwise, this place is yours.
We’ll give you space to just be.
