In March 2021 we made the move from city dwellers to country gentlemen, with the animals and weekend labour to prove it. Stay Balanced is our dream of creating a place where people can come and enjoy the fresh air, make some new furry friends and reconnect with nature.

What time can we arrive at the shepherd hut?
We want you to come and start experiencing Stay Balanced as soon as possible on the day of your arrival, we also want to make sure things are just right, check in will be from 3pm and check out at 12pm on the day of departure so we can do the same for those coming to enjoy stay balanced after you.
What time do we have to leave the shepherds hut?
All good things must come to an end and whilst we hope you had a great stay with us. We want to make sure everything is ready for our next guests, but equally we want you to have a relaxed morning on the day that you leave, so you can stay with us until 12pm, enough time for a spot of brunch and a last glimpse of the Alpacas.
Can we use the hot tub on the morning of check out?

What safety precautions are in place for pets near hot tubs?
Our hot tubs have an insulated lid. We ask you to keep the hot tub covered when not in use, this makes sure it stays nice and toasty for when you are ready to use and also no eager swimmers end up in there. Even if your pet can out length Adam Peaty, they are not allowed in the Hot Tubs
Are there nearby walking trails or outdoor spaces for pets?
All of our accommodation has enclosed garden spaces for your pet to enjoy. There are also local walks on the doorstep and some a few minutes drive away. We make some recommendations in our welcome book for you and your companion to enjoy
Can pets stay in all areas of the accommodation or are there designated spaces?
Pets are free to enjoy the accomodation with you, please do not let them practice doggy paddle in the hot tubs and we ask you to cover the furniture with your own throws to prevent muddy paws. For all our guests comfort pets should sleep in their own beds and not on yours. This helps us make sure we can keep our nightly rates low for everyone to enjoy.

What is the best time of year to stay in The Blondin Cush shepherd hut in Wales?
We are an all year round retreat.
We even get full booked over December for those festive breaks. Our wood burning hot tubs are great for being able to control the temperature better than an electric version, where you can choose to have a cooler tub in the hot summers and a toasty one in the frosty evenings under the stars.
With a cosy wood burning stove in the hut you’ll be sure to be kept warm on those chilly winter nights
