Other things to note
IMPORTANT:

This is a true GLAMPING experience. The shower room and toilet are situated outside, a few meters away from the hut itself.

Strictly no pets allowed.

The double bed in the Shepherd's Hut is accessed by a small ladder, which may be unsuitable for less agile guests. We do provide a step, which you can use as an alternative.

Guests will need to bring their own bath/hand/tea towels.
A TV is provided but can only be used to watched DVDs. We provide a few movies but guests may want to bring some of their own.

There is enough room in the Secret Garden for a small tent to be pitched up. This would allow for an extra 2 guests. This must be agreed prior to booking, so please get in touch for details.

** If you have any serious allergies or ill health, please let us know prior to booking.

** Please read our Terms & Conditions before booking your stay at Ynys Hut.

Neighbourhood highlights

Orcop is a village in the county of Herefordshire, England.

We have a local pub which is just half a mile away from Ynys Hut called The Fountain Inn. Here you can treat yourself to an ice-cold beer and some pub grub after a long day of adventuring. Please check with them directly for current opening times - 01981 540304.

We also have the Garway Moon Inn which is 3.5 miles away - 01600 750270.

Next to The Fountain Inn you will find Orcop's very own library in the form of an old red phone box. It is now full of books for people to share. Here you will also find the local bus stop.

There are lots of people in the village who sell fresh eggs, but our favourite supplier is Burhope Farm, which is 2 miles away. You'll very often get eggs with double yolks, a real treat!

The closest shop to Ynys Hut is the Carrot & Wine Store, which is just over 2 miles away in a neighbouring village called Wormelow.
