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.

I had a perfect trip, the yurt and facilities were amazing and Nathan was great. Went on some amazing walks! I went on this trip alone and felt very safe. Would recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic yurt in a beautiful location! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We asked for recommendations for walks and Nathan filled our days with activities! And loaned us maps
Our visit was in November, so we didn't take advantage of the star gazing (due to temp outside), which we will on our next visit.
Only downside was the pre-arrival reading, which contained many rules (mainly about fire making). But on arrival we were made to feel very comfortable and relaxed.
We will definitely return!

Just what we’d hoped for and exactly like the photos. Very spacious kitchen and toilet close enough to the yurt. Stay made better with the decking and hammocks- even in February. Peaceful location.
