We had such a wonderful time at Shayne and Nathan's peaceful mountain hideaway.
We stayed in the larger of the two yurts and the two of us had lots of space to make ourselves at home. The place was clean and peaceful, and the bed was nice and comfy.
We enjoyed using the sweet little kitchen for making our meals. We had everything we needed. The fridge was a decent size for our food for the week, and they provided useful storage boxes for our dry foods.
It was great to have sole use of our own toilet and shower too.
The fire pit and eating space was so lovely. We spent many peaceful mornings and evenings eating and chilling out and enjoying the lovely surroundings. Although we could hear a little from the other guests it didn't take away from the relaxing environment at all, and we felt like our space was private.
Nathan and Shayne were such welcoming and generous hosts. We loved chatting with them and learning about amazing places to go and visit.
We had some wonderful walks both locally and in Snowdonia National Park. Did a little wild swimming (bracing!) and just generally soaked in the peacefulness of the beautiful countryside.
We didn't want to leave! A really special place to spend some time.

I had the most incredible stay at Ty Mam Mawr - Shayne and Nathan were such warm and generous hosts. A group of us booked out the site for a meditation retreat and it was the perfect setting to allow for such work to take place. Gorgeous scenery, beautiful, cosy yurts to stay in, a nearby waterfall that we walked down to and swam in! Adorable friendly pets - dogs and chickens! - that roamed around, sweetly interacting with us. And the site is clearly a labour of love - these stunning, eco-friendly structures. Oh and I mustn't forget Shayne's generous catering, covering both vegan and gluten free. I can't wait to come back and visit at a different time of year - see what that stunning scenery, with all its colour, what that looks like in different light. Getting to know Shayne and Nathan was delightful too. Cooking, meditation and deep conversation with Shayne, as well as sitting by the fire pit, with the almost full moon hanging over the hillside, chatting about life, the universe and everything with Nathan are all special memories. Thank you so much for creating such a blissful place for us to come and explore. Hope to see you all again soon! xx

Had an amazing time, yurt was beautiful and in a gorgeous location. Kitchen and bathroom facilities we’re spot on and very clean. Nathan and Shayne were just a message away if we needed anything.
Had lots of fun playing fetch with the owner’s dogs. Lots of hiking routes around the area. Perfect to get away from it all for a few days. Would recommend to anyone wanting a bit of piece and quiet in the countryside. Will definitely be booking again :)

This was one of the best experiences ever. Surpassed anything we could have dreamed of. A cosy, romantic and just incredible few days at one with nature and with such friendship and sensitivity coming from our hosts. We loved it and can't wait to repeat.

Anyone who really wants to escape city/town life and just relax, re-charge and re-set the body and mind should come here.

Leave your worries behind and book this holiday.
