Shayne and Nathan’s place is absolutely gorgeous! We had the comfiest stay! We absolutely loved how cozy the yurt was; the little fire and fairy lights just topped it off! Also, the location is breathtakingly stunning. It is very quiet and definitely at one with nature. I absolutely loved seeing all the wildlife outside the yurt, and I especially loved the two resident chickens that came to say hi every day The amenities were also great , definitely no faults with the amenities. Thank you for an amazing stay, the place you have is so precious.

A very relaxing stay. Off grid and very peaceful. Very clean facilities including kitchen facilities and shower/toilet room.

The hammocks on the decking were great... lovely to chill out on after a day of exploring North Wales.

Literally the only noise to be heard is that of the woodpecker and cuckoo of a morning and an owl... which was a lovely sound to hear.

Shayne and Nathan although not there on arrival (as we arrived a little later than we expected) ensured we had all the information we required and Shayne came to greet us the following day when we were there.

The yurt itself was cosy and the log burner inside was a nice edition for when we retreated back inside later at night.

If you’re after a relaxing, tranquil stay then this is the place to be.

Unfortunately, it rained for most of the time we stayed at the Yurt, but it was easy to stay warm and snuggled up in the yurt with the fire burning.

In the brief period of sun we had, I was able to confirm that both the hammock and hanging chairs are great for napping in.

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!!
