What a find! Right in the middle of the mountains at Cynwyd with amazing views over the valleys. We only booked for one night en route to Anglesey and wished we had stayed longer. Total peace & quiet surrounded by wildlife and stunning scenery. It was the first time we stayed in a yurt and we would definitely do it again (if you're not a fan of camping in a tent in the height of summer - which I'm not - this is perfect). In the evening, we sat on the deck in the lovely hammock seats enjoying a glass of wine overlooking the mountains. At night, the little wood burner inside the yurt was amazing - really cozy and we watched the moon rise through the open stable door surrounded by fairy lights. The yurts are dog friendly too and we brought our two terriers with us (if you have little escape artists you will need to keep them on a lead though as there are resident roaming chickens and lots of sheep/wildlife in the immediate vicinity). The shared kitchen, toilet & shower facilities are immaculate. Shayne & Nathan do an amazing job at living in the most eco-friendly way possible (off grid) and are both fantastic hosts - very communicative and Shayne explained everything in detail on check-in. Hope to be back again for a longer stay.

This little yurt and cabin next door were fantastic - just right for the best and worst weather! It's secluded off the beaten track, and felt safe for my adventurous 8 year old. Host were great too - very helpful. I'm sure this site will continue to get better and better . Thank you.

Great place to stay if you want a beautiful & quiet location, a pond to cool your wine, a firepit to keep you warm in the evening, great amenities and lovely hosts....we'll be back one day

We recently returned home from our holiday in the yurt but we already miss it! Nathan and Shayne were perfect hosts, they gave us lots of friendly advice regarding the surrounding area and local walks. They left us to our own devices, however were always on hand if we needed them. Had a brilliant time, having bbqs and using the fire pit. The woodburning stove kept us toasty in the evening too! The Yurt was beautifully decorated, just like the photos, and all towels and pots and pans provided. The outdoor shower was a good experience too! Really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the future, thank you!

Amazing space with stunning view. We loved every bit of it and it’s so nice and toasty inside once the fire gets going. The view from the deck is amazing and perfect for chilling whether it’s sunny or rainy. Everything is accurate as described.
