Relaxing on the new bowling green...not quite flat though...

That was a seriously hard but rewarding days work...time for a cider now!

If you are looking for something a bit different then the Yurt is great. Warm, cosy and good for stargazing in the evenings. Make sure you put the full address in as only the postcode takes you to a dead end at the end of the road. Nathan met us to check in and show us around, he was helpful and recommended a few local places to find food. The Yurt gets very toasty andalthough the supplied wood only lasted one night, the DIY shop in Corwen sells wood and kindling quite cheap so it wasn't an issue. The yurt, toilet and kitchen were all well maintained and clean. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily book again. Thanks Nathan!

Brilliant location, secluded and stunning. Nathan is a welcoming host, we will most definitely be returning. The yurt was lovely, and we had a very relaxing time! Jack and Ellie.

We recently returned home from our holiday in the yurt but we already miss it! Nathan and Shayne were perfect hosts, they gave us lots of friendly advice regarding the surrounding area and local walks. They left us to our own devices, however were always on hand if we needed them. Had a brilliant time, having bbqs and using the fire pit. The woodburning stove kept us toasty in the evening too! The Yurt was beautifully decorated, just like the photos, and all towels and pots and pans provided. The outdoor shower was a good experience too! Really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the future, thank you!

Driving up the narrow road, you can feel a serenity envelope you, letting you let go of daily life, switching off into escape mode. You pull up to hear nature, see glorious greens, and take in the beauty.
check-in was easy, "our Gert" (yert) was all open. Just let yourself in.
inside a rainbow of colours, fabrics, fairy lights, a very zen feeling. we lit the log burner with the wood provided, exolored the amenities, the kitchen is fantastic had everything you need. The same goes for the bathroom. It's a nice hot shower. The bathroom is a little tired in places in comparison to photos, but that is just rustic glamping. Everything works.
we made smores on the wooden decking, enjoyed the view from the hammock, and had a wander into the trees, such a beautiful landscape.
from here, we explored Braunton, and we highly recommend beautiful little costal towns, sandy beaches only an hours drive away. we drove just over an hour to Llandudno, taking a ride on the old tram, up to the sumit.
