Shayne and Nathan are absolutely amazing hosts - they were attentive and incredibly kind! They welcomed our dog with love and he happily played with their dogs as well! Our stay in their yurt has everything you want and more, we spent everyday either in the yurt, outside next to the BBQ pit or walking in the countryside that surrounds their home. It is beautiful, cosy and relaxing - highly recommendable! Thank you to Shayne and Nathan for making Josh's birthday special and very memorable!

What a beautiful place! The yurt is comfy, cosy and the perfect place to unwind for a few days. The cabin next door with kitchen/bathroom was great. The location is breathtaking, with beautiful views and walks on the doorstep. Nathan and Shayne are lovely hosts - kind, welcoming and helpful. What a find - we'll be back!

Lovely stay for my sisters 30th. Very responsive reply’s and helpful.

Very clean and lots of space. Kitchen was great for supplies and a hang out.

Gorgeous surroundings and lots of stuff too do. Nathan recommended the Grouse in which was great for a roast dinner, we did this on the way home.

Came from Liverpool and the drive was perfect, very chilled.

Great for a retreat kind of holiday which we did, Nathan offered to let us use the roundhouse for yoga one morning which was absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for our needs!

Thank you very much

From the moment we got there Nathan and Shayne made us feel at home and whilst giving us our own space, were around if we needed anything. Willing to provide any knick-knacks (maps, eggs etc) we needed, I came away from our weekend away knowing I'd met some lovely people.
The yurt was brilliantly clean, comfortable, well maintained and a consistently good temperature. We took our dog along for the weekend away and she had a ball with all the outdoor space and sheep to stalk!
The location is close to lots of tourist attractions and we came away wishing we'd spent longer so we could have explored more of the local area. (Bala lake was wonderful to explore!).
Where the yurt really stands out as a place to stay is the views. The views are wonderful and watching the sunset over the woods and forest was transcendent.
I couldn't recommend staying with Shayne and Nathan enough. It was our first wedding anniversary and it was romantic, different and really well priced.
