Step into a world of peace, comfort, and natural beauty with a stay at The Orient Express, a handcrafted shepherd’s hut in the heart of the breathtaking Crai Valley. Designed for couples, solo travellers, and even your small doggie companion, this riverside hideaway offers a uniquely romantic escape. 
Let the soothing sounds of nature flow through the open terrace doors, curl up by the log burner on cooler evenings, or slip into the warm, bubbling hot tub under a canopy of stars, this is your opportunity to reconnect with nature in true comfort and style.
Lovingly built by skilled local craftsmen using premium oak and natural textures, The Orient Express is as much a celebration of traditional Welsh craftsmanship as it is a luxurious retreat. 
Inside, you’ll find a clever and cosy layout featuring a handcrafted king-sized bed, an dining table with seating for two, and a fitted farmhouse-style kitchen with a Belfast style sink and charming dresser stocked with crockery and utensils. 
Your morning rituals are made extra special thanks to the inclusion of a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine, complete with a starter pack of coffee pods, ideal for savouring a quiet start to the day surrounded by stunning countryside views. 
The generously sized bathroom defies the usual shepherd’s hut expectations, offering a proper shower cubicle, washbasin, and toilet. We also provide luxurious Black Pepper & Sandalwood toiletries, and warm, fluffy towels thanks to the heated towel rail.
Thoughtful storage solutions, including an external compartment for larger items, ensure you’ll have plenty of room for all your belongings without compromising the hut’s welcoming feel.
Step outside to discover your own private patch of paradise. The Orient Express sits in a river-fronted field with panoramic views across the valley and direct access to a secret island glade, accessible via steppingstones across a gentle stream. It’s an ideal spot to picnic, read, or simply lose yourself in the beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park. 
For al fresco cooking and dining, the front porch features a flameless BBQ, set, perfect for a relaxed meal with a view.
After a day of walking or exploring nearby footpaths, return to your private hot tub for the ultimate relaxation. As with all our properties, the tub is thoroughly emptied, cleaned, and refilled after every stay. Please allow up to 12 hours for it to reach the optimal temperature. Kindly note that the hot tub is not suitable for children under 16 or pregnant women, and all guests are asked to review the provided safety guidelines before use.
Whether you choose to wander the acres of private farmland, enjoy riverside strolls, or simply sip wine from the deck as the sun sets, The Orient Express invites you to embrace nature without sacrificing any creature comforts. 
Eco-conscious travellers will also appreciate the availability of on-site EV charging stations, and to help you settle in, we provide a thoughtful starter pack with tea, coffee pods and sugar sachets.

The Orient Express Shepherd's Hut with Hot Tub

The bed was comfortable, cooking facilities were great. The hot tub was superb! Lovely views out the front and super private!

Comfy and cosy stay

Excellent stay! We had such an amazing time and the facility was top tier. Very relaxing and Heidi was great, responding quickly and was very helpful. 100% reccomend and would love to come back. Thank you team!

We had a lovely stay at the Orient Express, so cute and cosy, very comfy bed, lovely hot tub looking up at the stars and out at the sunrise in the mornings. Close to walks, waterfall and mountains. It was such a peaceful escape and I’d love to return. It would be great if there were some hooks on the walls to hang jackets. Other than that I couldn’t fault it.

Lovely stay

The Shepards hut was amazing. Could not want for anything. Orient Express location was so good. Looking out over the fields and hills made the stay so relaxing. 5 sheep in direct field kept us entertained. We are going back there !

Brilliant !

Beautifully designed and well equipped accommodation, very comfortable and in a lovely private location overlooking a large field and hills of sheep. Lots of good walking nearby.
