Fantastic couple of nights despite sub zero temperatures outside. Had lots of firewood ( can easily purchase extra from them if needs be) and made it cozy and romantic. Saw nice sunset outside yurt. More accessible to snowdon than expected (50 min drive). Very considerate hosts- offered for us to have warm shower in their house since it was freezing outside/shower plumbing had been switched off due to temperature

Right, where to even start with this place, well first of all I spent around a month looking in detail of all similar style places, and this was by far the best looking/sounding.

When we got here both our expectations were shattered by how unreal this place is, it is abundant in beauty, from the miles of breath taking views all around you, to the tranquility of the surrounding area, it is out the way from an busy city style life.
Every direction you graced your eyes with were perfect, I am struggling to put what I experienced into words!!

We were astonished by the views in the morning over Snowdonia as we got to experience the dragon breath sweeping through mountains, waking up to that extraordinary view will be an experience I won't forget for the rest of my life.

Another part of this get away we were blown away by is the night sky, we have travelled to the dark park in Scotland, where it is renown for it's visablitly of the starts at night as they cut a hell of alot of light pollution, but when we travelled to Scotland we were not greeted with the spectacular views as we got in Cynwyd Forrest, me myself, nor my partner have ever seen so many stars In our lifes, we walked out the door of our yurt at night and just stared into the sky, stars beyond stars, again the feeling of awe was unmatchable, we couldn't of asked for anything more!! Another experience I'll remember for life!

Iv'e not shut up about the area, i haven't had chance to speak about the yurt its self, it is a beautiful looking yurt, it was really cosy, incredibly comfortable and very clean with a really nice vibe to the place, and the colours added to the vibe to. But that's just walking into the yurt, once you have the fire going and the sun goes down it becomes massively atmospheric.

I could keep writing more and more about how perfect this place but I'll just write one more thing, last but not least, Nathan and Shayne (the hosts) are two beautifully kind hearted people, they make you feel at home and are extremely helpful, they really did add a whole lot to our experience, and they are living a inspirational life in the Cynwyd Forrest, what more could you want in life than to live self reliant and off grid surrounded with such beauty.

We had a brilliant time, and are extremely upset to be back in 'reality'.

Thank you

Absolutely wonderful place. We stayed for a long weekend and could of easily stayed longer. The location was stunning and we felt so private even though the hosts were close enough for anything you need. Would highly recommend this place and would love to come back again :) thanks so much to Nathan & Shayne

This spot is perfect if you are looking for that relaxing break. The views around of the mountains were great. The weather was not the best on our visit, however this was not a problem as the yurt was so cozy. We would not hesitate to recommend to others and the hosts were fab.
