Hutty
When you step into this space, you immediately face the ingenuity of this hut’s off-grid facilities. A boat switchboard is recycled and used to operate the solar-powered electrics, including lights, the 240V power socket, a USB charger, and the pumped water in the built-in sink that comes from the 2 water containers. Although all cooking is to be done on the gas stove at the outside covered cooking area, the kitchen is well stocked with plenty of utensils.
An efficient wood burner heats Hutty on cool evenings and sits beside the kitchen area. But it’s the bed that’s the star of this hut’s show - one side of the hut is a platform bed with windows all around, meaning you can lie back at the end of the day and look out at the sunset, spy owls, and gaze at the stars. Wake in the morning in this super comfy nest, and watch the morning sun skip over dew-covered leaves as the dawn chorus announces the new day. Sticking with the ’eco’ theme, the toilet sits in a little copse close to the hut, and an open-air shower block is designated to the hut near the communal buildings on-site, down a pathway from Huttty. There’s a converted barn which offers somewhere to chill and hang out if the Irish sea pushes over some rain clouds, and includes a dart board, a guitar, a pool table area, fridges and an honesty shop full of goodies.
Pembrokeshire is known as being one of Britain’s most scenic counties, and now you can sleep amidst its natural wonder thanks to this charming cabin. Part shepherd’s hut, part railway carriage, this beautiful wooden structure was hand-built by previous owners who lived in Hutty whilst they put down more permanent roots on the Welsh coastline. Surrounded by the county’s famed bright green foliage, Hutty overlooks a beautiful wooded valley, with no hint of human impact as you look out of the large glazed French windows at the wild habitat. In fact, Hutty sits in a private nature reserve, close to a river, but far from everyone else, allowing for a romantic, undisturbed break in the West Wales countryside. The owners run an organic smallholding, which means their clean, green and flourishing site, nestled between the Preseli Hills and the St Davids peninsula coastline, has the potential for walks, cycle rides, nature watching and even a soaking of your feet in the river on a warm day. As it was custom built, this cabin is totally unique and giving back what it takes from the environment, Hutty is simplistic bliss within Pembrokeshire National Park.
