Beautiful accommodation in a lovely secluded location. The perfect getaway from the usual city life. Will undoubtedly be returning again.

Shayne met us on arrival and we talked and met throughout the weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer, friendlier host. Shayne also gave some good advice on the local walks, as well as amenities, which were very useful and saved us some time on a quick weekend visit. The yurt was as per the photos, and had lovely views into the hills. The log burner meant we could stay warm even though we had a little snow. Definitely keep plenty of kindling and fire lighters so it’s easy to start again if it burns out during the night. Nice space for an outdoor fire pit too. It all added to a nice ‘outdoorsy’ weekend away. The kitchen area was very well equipped and you could easily prepare and cook a good meal in there if you wish. Shared bathroom and shower facilities were available, which were clean and warm. The local Indian restaurant food was very nice and worth a visit if eating out. The area is very pretty and also remote, which was ideal for a get-away break. Thanks for your hospitality.

Lovely hosts, any questions you have they will respond very quickly. Very beautiful location. If you are looking for a weekend away, off grid, away from the hustle bustle of general life then this yurt is definitely the place to go for a mini break.

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.
