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!

what an amazing place, was lovely to wake up to snow in the morning. I was worried about my young daughter getting cold but once I'd got the hang of the wood burner she was moaning she was to hot😂

From the get-go Nathan and Shayne where fantastic. Any questions you have leading up to to your check-inn date are responded quickly, Including local knowledge of information about any activities you've got planned in the area. The quick 10 minute introduction about the facilities was good, we even asked several questions about how the off-grid system they have works. The Yurt itself was incredible and very clean. The amenities on-site where also great and clean. Our group spent the day climbing Snowden and was lovely to come back to a shower (which uses straight off the mountain water) and have the fire on in the Yurt. Throughout our stay Nathan & Shayne left us to it, but was contactable throughout if we needed anything. Definitely a place to visit if you're thinking about seeing Wales, all in all a great experiance and will be visiting again.

Perfect ! Stunning surroundings,the sunshine was out for us the birds singing and we were surrounded by breathtaking views . The yurt was so nice and toasty and very comfortable and beautifully decorated.
We spent our anniversary here and i am so glad we did , will definitely be and back , many thanks to our lovely hosts, and to the folks who we met making the fabulous new facilities. By the way the music was awesome

Really lovely surroundings. Nathan was easy going (Shayne was away, but I am sure she is also lovely!) and the yurt was a perfect little hub. We walked up the big hill with huge backpacks and I have to say the reward felt greater! Buuuuutt take up Shayne and Nathan’s offer for a lift if available. You’ll be thankful later
