Island Hide Reviews

Emma Clarke

We had a fantastic time here! As avid glampers, this spot quickly became one of our favouritesand we're already thinking of returning. The scenery is stunningand listening to the birds and wildlife was so calming. You can even meet the alpacas, enjoy a massageand relax in the hot tub while watching the sunset. Loved it!

Oliver Grant

We had an amazing time at Island Hide! The location is perfect for exploring Anglesey, whether it's ziplining or hiking up Yr Wyddfa. Steve and Jo made us feel really welcome and went out of their way to be kind - especially with the lovely massage treatments. The outdoor kitchen was handy, the shepherd's hut comfyand the hot tub a perfect way to unwind after a busy day. We'd love to return for longer soon, there's so much more to see and do! Hide

Olivia

Super comfy, perfect size, highly recommend!

Mark

Charming little hut, peaceful spot, really enjoyed our stay there!

Emily

We had such a lovely, chilled time here. The setting is perfectand those adorable alpacas really help you unwind. The hosts are lovelyand the wood-fired hot tub was a real treat!

Alexandra

We had a lovely time, though it did need a proper clean and finding a plug socket was tricky since none were near the hutand that wasn't clear when booking. Aside from that, it felt really private despite being on the propertyand the location was stunning. We'd definitely come back again!

Max

We had one of the best stays we've enjoyed in ages. The setting is so peaceful and tranquil, just the perfect getaway. Being 6ft 4, we were a bit anxious about the size of the accommodation, but with a couple and a staffie, there was plenty of room. The views are just stunningand the alpacas, natural wildlifeand all the lovely things within 15 minutes of the accommodation made for a wonderful stay. If you're seeking an escape from a chaotic work life or just a romantic break, it's definitely the one!

James

This place is truly magical! The hut is beautiful, the views are simply amazingand the hot tub is lovely. Jo and Steve are really friendly and helpful, plus it feels super private. It's fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. We would absolutely recommend giving this place a try!

Lucy

We really enjoyed our stay at the Island Hide Shepherds Hut! The bed was super comfy and the bathroom facilities were lovely and clean, plus there was loads of hot water. The beaches nearby were beautifuland we really liked spending our evenings by the log fires outside, especially with the hot tub too. We were lucky with the weather and just found it so easy to relax and enjoy being off-grid - didn't even know Boris had resgined until we got back! Big thanks to Jo for being so helpful and kind. It felt very safe for our dog.

Simon

We really loved our trip to the Island! The shepherd's hut was great, so compact and cosy with everything we needed to just get away from it all. The views were absolutely stunningand we enjoyed them from the veranda or the hot tub. Just a heads-up, the hot tub does take a while to heat up, so keep an eye on the fire and make sure it's roaring away to get it nice and toasty. The location is perfect for exploring the areaand it's a short hop onto the mainland if you're looking to venture outside Anglesey.

Elena

We honestly can't find the right words to describe how fantastic our stay was! Jo and Steve are truly the best hosts we've ever had. The place itself is breathtakingly romantic with a stunning view. It's so cozy and secludedand all the little details really made it our favourite spot to escape from the everyday stress. We can't wait to come back soon. Huge thanks to both of you for such an amazing time.

Lola

My partner and I just spent some time here for his 30th birthdayand the hut was absolutely fantastic! It had everything we needed, plus those stunning views. The owners were super welcoming and really helpful, they couldn't do enough for us! The hot tub was lovely, even though it took longer to heat up than expected, but honestly, it was worth the wait! We would definitly come back and recommend it to friends!

Emma

This is such a lovely place to stay! Everything is done to a really high standard and the place is very well equipped. The views are stunning and there are loads of options for somewhere to sit and unwind, including a hammock. The hot tub was absolutely fantasticand we didn't mind waiting a bit for it to heat up! Our hosts were super friendly and helpful, but they also respected our privacy, which was perfect for enjoying the relaxing peace of our long-awaited child-free weekend.
