Friendly and welcoming hosts, very knowledgeable about the area with great walking route tips (and friendly dogs who might want to join you!). The hosts are very respectful of you being on a quiet, eco-friendly holiday. It was cosy and peaceful in the little yurt for me and my best mate. Comfy beds for both and fleece blankets available to sit on the porch on colder evenings. The log burner is so effective and the view from the porch tranquil. We loved the hammock seats outside. The decor really adds to the relaxing vibe with wall hangings and ambient lighting. Kitchen facilities really are top notch too. It's an impressive off grid system and as eco friendly as possible too.
Beautiful and welcoming place, amazing walks all around. Perfect weekend away from noisy towns and concrete jungles.
Hope to be back next year! :-)

We really loved our stay in the Yurt, beautiful inside and out we felt so relaxed and in our own little world. The new kitchen & bathroom has everything you need for a comfortable stay, who doesn't love a whistling kettle?! There is plenty to do whether you have a car or not, lovely walks, a sit in the hammock or Snowdonia is about an hours drive. Shayne & Nathan were fantastic hosts and very inspiring, such a wonderful outlook on life we'll definitely be back again.. maybe to pick your brains more about building our own Hobbit hole!!
