The yurt was nicely set-up in a scenic area, there were beautiful sunrises and a nice starry sky if lucky with clear skies. Nathan was very welcoming, even his dog, Ruby and the cats too! It was tad too short a stay admittedly due to time constraints, so didn't have too much time to explore to my heart's content. Due to the period of stay, it was low digit temperatures cold but plenty of firewood and firelighters to getting toasty that do require some time before getting warm, which also have to be maintained at regular intervals. Other than that, a nice getaway in a town full of just as friendly people. (:

I have had the great pleasure in spending a night at Ty Mam Mawr and also running a weekend retreat there.
I whole heartedly recommend this place for both time away and holding a retreat.
The environment is gorgeous and secluded with a beautiful forest walk and open fields right near by.
The yurts are a true delight to sleep in with ideal decor to match your get away in nature.
Shayne & Nathan the owners are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met and so accommodating. If you want to be on your own doing your own thing they leave you to it or if you want to engage in some loving conversation they are all ears with wise words to share.

I will be back again and again for the whole experience they have provided. I honestly am so happy I found Ty Mam Mawr.
You have found the place you are looking for!

We had a lovely welcome from Nathan and the Yurt was wonderful , positioned with a view of the forest and down the valley
We had everything we could need for a perfect holiday , the wood burner made the Yurt wonderfully cosy , the hot shower with an amazing view , clear skies and beautiful sunsets .
The location is spectacular , feeling far away from day to day life
We would absolutely recommend this gorgeous place to anyone
