Enchanting, exhilarating, like staying in a living painting. The location is stunning 400m up hugged by the valley & pines. The yurt was a snug Bohemian heaven. All you could want ‘off the grid’! Very impressive amenities, water from the spring, electricity from the solar panels.... Very effective log burners. Easy & accessible to get there. As for the hosts, just beautiful people. All expectations exceeded!! I will be back!

Would definitely recommend as the whole experience was perfect and there’s plenty to do in and around snowdonia.

The whole place was clean and beautiful and look forward to doing it again.

You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks

It was our first experience of a Yurt and my sons were thrilled when we were shown around by our host.

The facilities available were also fantastic with a large communal kitchen which was well stocked with kitchen equipment and the cleanest oven I think I’ve ever seen.

Our Yurt also had access to a private toilet, shower and small kitchen area which was perfect for grabbing a coffee before you are able to face anyone.

The yurt and area around the yurt feels very secluded and we only briefly saw the others staying in the other yurt once.

We used the BBQ on the first night and enjoyed the views before rain pushed us inside.

The yurt was fantastic and very spacious for the four of us. It was a cozy space and everyone slept well. The whole area was very well kept and clean.

We spent a day walking up Snowdon which was about an hours drive from the yurt.

Would happily come back again as we really enjoyed the visit. Thank you for having us.

I’ve just returned from the most marvellous few days away in the small yurt.
The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. It was so peaceful, I’m struggling to entertain the noise of being back in reality.
Nathan was the most wonderful welcoming, kind and thoughtful host.
I’m so grateful for the experience. Thank you so much for having me.
