The accommodation was great, in a really good spot and very peaceful. The owner was very helpful, and very quick to respond throughout the process. 100% would stay here again.

Thanks

We had an amazing stay at the yurt! Nathan provided great instructions and a video guide showing where everything was and how everything worked. Despite the freezing weather outside, the log burner made the yurt nice and warm. We would definitely come back again!

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!

Nathan was there to greet us as we arrived, very friendly and helpful to get us settled. The yurt is very cosy and exactly like it is on the photos. We have really enjoyed our stay and despite it being really cold and sometimes wet we sat outside on the deck and admired the views with a few drinks (and visits from the chickens!. When going back in the yurt it was nice and toasty from the wood burning fire and the kitchen was easy to use. Really recommend. Thanks Nathan and Shayne!
