Fantastic couple of nights despite sub zero temperatures outside. Had lots of firewood ( can easily purchase extra from them if needs be) and made it cozy and romantic. Saw nice sunset outside yurt. More accessible to snowdon than expected (50 min drive). Very considerate hosts- offered for us to have warm shower in their house since it was freezing outside/shower plumbing had been switched off due to temperature

A cheerful and friendly welcome. Helpful hosts. Good, clean, well provided facilities in the yurt, kitchen area and shower. A relaxing place to stay in a quiet spot of Wales.

A truly amazing, huge yurt in a stunning location with fabulous mountain biking and hiking routes from the doorstep. Completely off the beaten track with some of the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen. We are officially in love with north wales.
Nathan and Shayne were so helpful and welcoming and gave us great advice and local tips.
Highly recommended!

We really loved our stay in the Yurt, beautiful inside and out we felt so relaxed and in our own little world. The new kitchen & bathroom has everything you need for a comfortable stay, who doesn't love a whistling kettle?! There is plenty to do whether you have a car or not, lovely walks, a sit in the hammock or Snowdonia is about an hours drive. Shayne & Nathan were fantastic hosts and very inspiring, such a wonderful outlook on life we'll definitely be back again.. maybe to pick your brains more about building our own Hobbit hole!!

Delight-filling Paradise on Earth.... Ty Mam Mawr - House of The Great Mother, has clearly been created with great love and vision by Nathan and Shayne. A beautiful and beautifully constructed sacred retreat centre... built to serve, inspire, evolve and grow, far into the future.

Mother Nature's Blessings on this place are palpable.

Only just completed, the roundhouse and surrounding yurts and cabins already feel like sacred community... hosted by the warmth and dynamic creativity of Shayne, Nathan and their dogs, chickens and cats.

I was lucky enough to attended Ty Mam Mawr's first retreat .... it was superb. The life force energy here is powerful and clear. The facilities are impressive - and admirably, all off grid. This place just can't help creating community. And.... the setting and views are magical. You'll see! I highly recommend many visits... for holidays and group retreats.

Ty Mam Mawr has so much to offer us, and, so much to ask of us. She's alive and happening! I sense that she's going to play a significant role in the lives of many. Thanking you Ty Mam Mawr with All My Heart. X
