Wonderful stay for a group of friends looking to escape the city. Pretty awful weather, but the yurts were lovely and warm - very cosy with the fire. Pub is about 20-25 mins walk downhill (longer on the way back!) - good pub food for when you don't fancy cooking. Great communication before and during our stay. Very much given our privacy while there.

A fantastic escape and a wonderful stay. I had never stayed in a yurt before but after some log burner practice we were snug as can be.

A real shame that we only had 3 nights!

Thanks Shayne and Nathan for a wonderful weekend stay in your beautiful yurt up in the hills. Your warm welcome and excellent hospitality was only matched by the sheer beauty of the location. Thankfully the weather was kind which allowed us to fully appreciate the stunning views. The yurt was warm and cozy and the whole experience matched up to expectation. We look forward to returning very soon!!! Jamie & Karen xxx

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.

You’ll love this place! Up on too of a hill, you can see the sunrise, sunset and moon rise. The changing weather systems make the scenery constantly different and interesting. The local village is super friendly as is the wee pub.

There is plenty wild swimming around, loads of walks and wonderful nature.

There is so much to do we ended up spending every day out the whole day but the yurt is huge and would allow for plenty of at home activities too.

Shayne, Nathan and all the animals are welcoming, helpful and friendly.
