The Yurt was authentic, spacious and really cosy. The surrounding forest and berywn mountains are beautiful and great for walking. Large well equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking big meals. Shanye and Nathan were really great hosts willing to help out and give advice whenever needed. We also had a great evening with them in there round house

Brilliant location, secluded and stunning. Nathan is a welcoming host, we will most definitely be returning. The yurt was lovely, and we had a very relaxing time! Jack and Ellie.

This was our second stay at the yurt, and we absolutely love it. The yurt itself is warm, cosy and beautifully decorated, with a lovely decking with comfortable hammocks. We spent 6 days lounging about on the hammocks, cooking in the well-equipped new cabin addition, doing yoga, playing music and generally appreciating Shayne and Nathan's lovely home and the surrounding landscape. I have no negatives about this amazing accommodation - book it, you will not be disappointed!!
We had an amazing time, made all the better by Shayne and Nathan - such kind, life-loving, real people. We thank them for their generosity, and again allowing us more wonderful memories in the yurt, with them, their animals, ad their beautiful home. Big love for this place!

Myself and my partner spent a few days just after Christmas this place, and it was a wonderful experience. We have strong traditional connections to Yurts and also had the chance to have a look at Shayne & Nathan's cob house. My partner grew up in a cob house, and I fond of history and art, so this place was a perfect choice to reconnect our background, wind down, spend night next to the fire, in a cosy yurt, having a good bottle of wine and wonderful conversations. We truly experienced what it means slowing down (especially it was still in the short, dark winter days) and pay more attention to the details.

The yurt was so cosy, with plenty of spare blankets, lovely light and craftsmanship. The location is beautiful, the spot is nice and private. It was pretty rainy and windy, but the yurt stood these well and felt absolutely safe inside - but not separated from nature.

We came by bus and walked up from the village to the location. It is uphill, so be prepared if you have the same idea, but it is definitely not too much, just a good exercise starting your adventure. Follow the instructions, and when you see the wind turbine and the yurts, you can be sure you are at the right place!

We hope to come back soon again,
Rita & Tamas
