Our stay was amazing and couldn’t find a single fault, despite the yurt being big, it warm up quicker than you’d expect. The fuel for the fire that Nathan supplies was also cheaper than getting it elsewhere and he’s very helpful if you have any queries or need anything such as extra kindling or logs. Responds quickly to any messages and is a friendly genuine guy. The surroundings are beautiful (especially in the snow) and the yurt was nice and clean. 10/10 stay and will definitely be coming back again 👌🏼

It was our first experience of a Yurt and my sons were thrilled when we were shown around by our host.

The facilities available were also fantastic with a large communal kitchen which was well stocked with kitchen equipment and the cleanest oven I think I’ve ever seen.

Our Yurt also had access to a private toilet, shower and small kitchen area which was perfect for grabbing a coffee before you are able to face anyone.

The yurt and area around the yurt feels very secluded and we only briefly saw the others staying in the other yurt once.

We used the BBQ on the first night and enjoyed the views before rain pushed us inside.

The yurt was fantastic and very spacious for the four of us. It was a cozy space and everyone slept well. The whole area was very well kept and clean.

We spent a day walking up Snowdon which was about an hours drive from the yurt.

Would happily come back again as we really enjoyed the visit. Thank you for having us.

What can I say.... This was the first time we have stayed in a Yurt. It was peaceful, beautiful scenery, comfortable and very cosy. Shayne and Nathan are brilliant hosts, very welcoming and helpful. We hope to be back to stay again soon. A much needed break in the beautiful Berwyn Range. We would highly recommend anyone wanting a proper, comfortable and peaceful retreat from life’s rat race.

Absolutely loved our stay! Nathan & Shayne we’re very friendly and helpful giving us tips on where to go out for food. The yurt was very comfortable and super cosy and warm with the fire on. We will be coming back!
