Staying here exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect secluded haven for a much needed nurturing time. Immersed in nature in a stunning clean yurt, adjacent to a super well equipped cabin. We had all the facilities needed for a short break. Clean air in superb settings, no light pollution enabled nights to be filled with clear views of star filled evenings. We didn't need to go anywhere as the walks on our doorstep gave us ample opportunity to explore the stunning beauty of this location. The hosts Shayne and Nathan were the best, kind, openhearted down to earth and a very accommodating couple. We so enjoyed the space, decor and warmth of the yurt. We had the luxury of the log fire on evening but the weather was warm the rest of the time so not needed. It's a lovely location if you want to immerse yourself in simply being, reflection, walking, meditation. Also a great base if you want to explore further afield. Would definitely visit again and again and again.....

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

We had a one night stopover in the big yurt. The yurt is as described and we had an idyllic sunny evening sitting by the fire outside. We were comfortable and cosy and enjoyed our stay.

We were looking for somewhere to relax and this place offered just that! Stunning views surrounded by nature. Cosy yurt that warmed up in no time! So impressed with the fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Everything was spotlessly clean on our arrival. Very friendly and helpful host who made us feel welcome immediately. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Yurt in a great location, peace and tranquillity reign. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather, otherwise some aspects of the accommodation could be challenging. The kitchen area is tiny- no oven, grill or microwave. A four ring gas hob does the lot.
If you take dogs there is a brilliant circular walk straight from base
