Greener Glamping

Harvest Bounty

Posted on August 3, 2018August 2, 2026 by Nathan Green

Pumpkins, squash and apples from our garden.

Our stay was perfectly timed for a nice warm Easter weekend. We were greeted by Shayne who was very attentive and made us feel at home. The yurt is lovely, just exactly what you expect, with nice views. What we really enjoyed was the birdsong, a range of finches but also woodpeckers, cuckoo and even a sighting of a sparrowhawk. There are some resident Pheasant families that will keep you amused for hours. Considering this is off grid it didn't feel like it in that electricity and wifi were good, the kitchen facilities spotless and the shower I have to say was beautifully hot and exceeded expectations when you consider everything is generated on site.

The location is high in the hills but a perfect base for travelling out. We went to Bala, Pwllheli, Rhyl, Chirk, Chester and Llangollen all in the space of a weekend and still had plenty of time left to chill out.

And for those worried about warmth in a yurt don't be. We did have a warm weekend but we still lit the woodburner in the evening, it is amazingly simple to use and gives a really satisfying warmth at bed time.

We had a wonderful stay here, the view from the Yurt was gorgeous and it had all the amenities we needed including fully equipped kitchen, flushing toiling, amazing shower and very comfortable bed, and several hammocks which was a brilliant touch (it also meant we spent a whole day lounging, amazing!). The only thing I can think to mention was that it was much closer to the house than we originally thought so not as private as we would have liked but the house itself is really secluded so you really are away from it all :-)

Lovely bucolic location. Big 26 foot Mo colin style yurt or ger. toasty warm with log stove. Very friendly host. Would have been nice if matches had been provided or a lighter for heating stove, fire pit and cooker. Personal tour of his off grid system. Would highly recommend.

I didn't want to come home! As we drove up the steep incline to the yurt... My partner, daughter and I could not contain out excitement and we were not disappointed.... The view surrounding the yurt that came into view was spectacular.

We arrived to such a warm welcome from the host Nathan... He made us feel at home instantly. Inside the yurt, we discovered a very comfy double bed and sofa bed.... Already prepared with beautifully clean linen in keeping with the feel of the yurt. The facilities were rustic (compost toilet listening to chickens having a conversation) as I would expect in a glamping yurt.... But the hot electric shower and very useable camping stove made it rather posh really!

Our first evening was spent cooking a meal using stove and fire pit (we managed pulled pork with veg followed but baked banana with chocolate!). Then Nathan invited us for cider at his big fire pit. We spent a pleasant evening setting the world to rights.

My family then spent one of the best weeks of our lives!!!!!! I write that from the heart.

My little girl of 6years learnt to lay and start a fire, cooking toast on it every morning. We explored the local paths with both bikes and on foot. All views were beautiful. One evening, Nathan helpfully explained the best place to see the sunset and as a family we chased the sun! We also went out for many day trips! I can recommend Llangollen as a great day out (steam train, vintage shopping, castle, abbey and canal boats) and the local town of Corwan boasts the best curry house in Wales (we might have tried it one night... You don't want to cook every night!)....to name but one of many many things to do locally! Nathan is very knowledgable of the area and is able to give you tips on the best spots/beaches.

I asked my daughter what her best bits were... She said Nathan's animals (very friendly cats, dogs and chickens) and digging for treasure(bottles and china) out of one of Nathan's banks... Thanks for that Nathan... You made a little archeologist very happy!

The beautiful setting, homely yurt, friendly host and diversity of things to do locally...resulted in my little family having a holiday full of adventure... I can not recommend this wonderful yurt enough!
