We had the most incredible 3 days at Nathan and Shayne's yurt. We were utterly spoilt with time 'off the grid'...we enjoyed endless hours of nothing :-)
We were thrilled with the accommodation, the bed was super comfortable and the place got toasty with the log burner. The yurt is totally private and we felt like we had given ourselves the gift of time, peace, tranquility and being present.
We enjoyed the alfresco cooking and dining, and found the temperatures outside were simply perfect for chilling beer and wine!
The surrounding landscape is so special, we were greeted each morning with bird song and went to sleep under a blanket or stars.
Hands down the best 'loo with a view'!!
The location is great for local sites (although we didn't actually budge...apart from a trip into the village for fish and chips one evening!)

We couldn't have asked for more...
Nathan was the most fabulous host, offering us a warm welcome and chatting to us with genuine interest and re-igniting a passion in us for the great outdoors.
Thank you for making wood available to purchase at an extremely low rate so that we could enjoy indoor and outdoor fires.
We are going to really miss it and will definitely be returning!!!

Nathan and Shayne were such lovely hosts, we had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday in Cynwyd. We stayed for a week with our new baby and dog and we had everything we needed right on our doorstep. Stunning views, lovely walks and a gorgeous yurt to return to for cosy evenings and rainy days. Shayne and Nathan couldn’t have been more hospitable and the kitchenette was well stocked with everything we needed. We would love to go back one day, it was the perfect holiday for our new family.

One of the best places we've ever stayed. The area is like stepping into another world. Serene and peaceful, no light pollution so tonnes of stargazing to be had. Not far to a couple of idealic locations for excursions or hikes!

Great accommodation, very clean and had all kitchen equipment necessary! The yurt was lovely to stay in and really loved the rural location! The hosts never bothered us and gave us our privacy which was great. The bathroom and kitchen were as clean as the yurt which is rare when experiencing rural living! Everything was exactly as expected and we loved every minute of it would defiantly recommend if you like the outdoors of camping but prefer a slightly more (glamping) approach!

I only suggest that when you book and are on route to the location.. do not use the maps app as it takes you 20 minutes away to the actual address for some reason... instead search up manually the actually postcode and it takes you straight there!!

Amazing place, amazing views, nice people.. great accommodation.

Highly recommend
