Ty Mam Mwar is nestled among the beautiful Welsh landscapes. From the conifer woodland that it sits within to the beautiful rolling hills and mountains surrounding, this Airbnb is like a concentrated point of natural energy that flows through you the moment you pull up.

Nathan was the most wonderful and welcoming host we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was there to greet us when we arrived to show us around his beautiful patch of land, including the yurt, cabin and roundhouse that have clearly been created with love and care. Unfortunately Shayne was away during our visit but from what everyone we met said about her, we are both sure she's just as special as Nathan is.

The yurt was extremely comfortable, especially with the fire going, and the overall experience of living off grid added a very special touch to the whole week.

We can't wait to revisit this space, not only because of its beauty but because it now holds an emotional significance to us, as the woods just behind the yurt is where we got engaged. I'm sure we will be coming back here for many years to come.

Overall, we couldn't recommend this location enough to anyone who is looking for a complete reset, both mentally and spiritually, especially if you have an interest in off grid living.

We can't wait to come back! Thank you for a beautiful week and for your unquestionably good hospitality.

This is the second time we stayed here and, just as expected, we had a fantastic time. Our daily adventures in the local forests ended with a hearty BBQ in the idyllic setting, then a cosy fire in the gorgeous yurt. Perfect!! Shayne and Nathan are breath of fresh air - down to earth, friendly and extremely helpful. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Stayed in the mini yurt for a few days which was lovely. The yurt is comfortable and cosy and the surroundings are very relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and is right next to the yurt, as is the bathroom which is spotless. Nathan & Shayne are great hosts and ensure you have a hassle free stay, lovely people.

The perfect place for couples fancying a romantic getaway or groups wanting exclusive use of the site. We travelled as a couple with two dogs and Nathan was more than accommodating for us all. An excellent host and very focussed on ensuring we had an enjoyable stay. On the first morning the pipes had frozen due to the snow resulting in the shower not being in use, but Nathan was apologetic and offered for us to shower in his home whilst he fixes the outdoor shower. He made sure the shower was up and running a few hours later so this caused no inconvenience whatsoever.

We enjoyed a lovely walk through the forest and the local town which was a mile down the road. There are a couple of pubs there which we never went in but seemed quiet and welcoming. Nathan lent us an OS map so we were able to navigate our way through the forest and along the river which made for a very enjoyable walk.

We can't wait to return again with our family in summer and take advantage of the decking area for BBQs and hopefully much nicer weather!!
