Off the grid living was AWESOME!!!! WOW! The eco-yurt is everything my partner and I could have asked for any more!! Our first night was cold but then the weather picked up beautifully and we were super snug and warm in front of the fire when we got in from the local pub.

The kitchen is simple and has everything you need to cook :) We really embraced the outdoors and sat and watched the stars most nights - if you love adventure and the outdoors, then Shayne and Nathans cute little space is just perfect. Super cosy with lots of extra space - enough for two couples to comfortably enjoy their stay!

Thank you again!!! :)

Met with a very warm welcome into a beautiful location, we were given a mini tour and had a little explanation of how all the amenities needed were supplied off grid. Impeccably clean!! Such and well throughout place, having the feeling of being outside of the night but with all the homely comforts!

We will be back again!
Thank you!

This was a beautiful experience! Our hosts were so lovely and the accommodation was perfect. They really had thought of most every little thing you may need for a cozy get away and were very happy to accommodate any extra needs or ideas.

We were two familes of four that booked the two Yurts for a 3 night stay over the new year period, and we enjoyed every second of it! What an absolutly fanstastic place to stay. The House manual is very thorough but all common sensse, as seasoned campers weren't put off. There are a few things to think about as the site is completley off grid, but all things that are considerate to conserve enery and the environment.

The Yurts are amazing and extremly compfortable and to wood stoves heat them up so quickly to the point of us stripping off and opening the door in the middle of winter. The beds are very comfortable and there seems to a be a nice relaxing calm that decents when yoa are inside the Yurts. The cabin with range size cooker and all the tools you need was a nice extra and the table comfortable sat all 8 of us round for our meals. The Cabin also has a toilet and shower which is also a nice luxury when staying in the outdoors. I however prefered to fully emerse myself in the experience and opted for the Sawdust toilet.

Nathan was a fantasict host who generally left us to it, however was there if we needed. He offered some great advice about the local area and a walk upto the the 'Liberty Bell' which covered many different terrains and caused lots of laughs when we expected a fully funtioning hunting lodge where we could maybe have a pint and it ended up being just the ruins of the old building. We also ventureed to Bala for a walk round the beautiful lake new years day and the sun was shining so we all went in for a paddle but all ended up wet through. We all returned to dry out rpound the fire pit while toasting marshmellows.

All in all both adults and children loved every minuite of our time there and will be booking for another long weekend in the summer. If your considering this i's say just book it and enjoy.

I have had the great pleasure in spending a night at Ty Mam Mawr and also running a weekend retreat there.
I whole heartedly recommend this place for both time away and holding a retreat.
The environment is gorgeous and secluded with a beautiful forest walk and open fields right near by.
The yurts are a true delight to sleep in with ideal decor to match your get away in nature.
Shayne & Nathan the owners are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met and so accommodating. If you want to be on your own doing your own thing they leave you to it or if you want to engage in some loving conversation they are all ears with wise words to share.

I will be back again and again for the whole experience they have provided. I honestly am so happy I found Ty Mam Mawr.
You have found the place you are looking for!
