We loved staying in the Yurt it was a really unique experience! It is in a beautiful location, the bed is comfy, there’s a wonderful outdoor area with a cover/fire/bbq, the kitchen and toilet are clean and had every thing we needed. We especially loved the friendly chicken that came to visit. Would definitely recommend!

We were blessed to have had a Heavenly stay in this sanctuary of sorts that was so lovingly dreamed into being by the wonderful Nathan and Shayne. Peacefully surrounded by beautiful nature whilst sleeping in a magical yurt knowing that it’s in an ecologically minded way is truly a gift! We are so thankful to the both of them and from the heart recommend a stay here.

Such a beautiful place to spend the weekend! I cannot recommend Shayne and Nathan's place enough.
Our hosts were super hospitable and friendly, any questions we had they were just a text away.
The large Yurt is authentically Mongolian and it is a truly magical space, perfect for a group to relax around a fire. The smaller yurt was more secluded, really gorgeous and had a beautiful view. Super warm and cosy and no need for the fires. Nathan generously supplied a starter kit too so no forking out for fire wood! You are off-grid so we had to be mindful of the resources we used, another way this unique accommodation helped connect us to nature.

We had the most incredible 3 days at Nathan and Shayne's yurt. We were utterly spoilt with time 'off the grid'...we enjoyed endless hours of nothing :-)
We were thrilled with the accommodation, the bed was super comfortable and the place got toasty with the log burner. The yurt is totally private and we felt like we had given ourselves the gift of time, peace, tranquility and being present.
We enjoyed the alfresco cooking and dining, and found the temperatures outside were simply perfect for chilling beer and wine!
The surrounding landscape is so special, we were greeted each morning with bird song and went to sleep under a blanket or stars.
Hands down the best 'loo with a view'!!
The location is great for local sites (although we didn't actually budge...apart from a trip into the village for fish and chips one evening!)

We couldn't have asked for more...
Nathan was the most fabulous host, offering us a warm welcome and chatting to us with genuine interest and re-igniting a passion in us for the great outdoors.
Thank you for making wood available to purchase at an extremely low rate so that we could enjoy indoor and outdoor fires.
We are going to really miss it and will definitely be returning!!!
