We had a great time staying in the yurt!! Although it was freezing, the log burner was an absolute god send and our best friend! The location is beautiful, and there is so much to do nearby! We went walking in the forest around the yurt, walking up Snowdonia, visited Llangollen and a great pub called The Corn Mill; also the Rhud farm shop is beautiful. Really enjoyed the whole experience, we had a friend one night (The cat!!) he popped into the yurt for a cuddle by the fire - more than welcome as we have two of our own! Great place and will definitely look to revisit in warmer weather to enjoy long nights out on the decking having BBQs! Thanks a lot!

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

Totally secluded & remote spot. The yurt is an incredible structure & super cosy (we stayed in November) The cob round house is stunning. It's obvious that a lot of graft has gone into planning and creating this space - respect to Shayne & Nathan for their amazing efforts there.

Bit of advice if you're planning a trip here... the hosts send a link to a video on how everything works (off-grid & eco), it's a long video but try to watch it through to the end because it explains how to get hot water, then you won't be having a cold shower, like me! (the hot water works fine, I'm just an idiot)

Had an absolutely fantastic stay at the yurt over the long weekend with my partner and dog - Have already recommended to friends and will definitely be back!

Shayne welcomed us on arrival and was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay, answering all questions and providing help as and when needed. Nathan helped provide us a list of pubs to book and help when we had a small, fixable issue with our shower. It was seen to straight away.

Everything is exactly as described, and even goes above and beyond. The kitchen area had everything we could have needed, there were extras such as board games for the one rainy day we did have, enough firewood to purchase from at a reasonable price and use throughout the stays, and the lovely chicken, cats, and dogs roaming around the yurts. The place is completely off grid and peaceful, with many beautiful walks nearby.

We also drove to Snowdon which was only an hour away. The yurt is a great location to chill at or explore.

Thank you for a lovely stay!
