This place is just gorgeous, despite the weather we had an amazing time, the yurts are so warm with the log burner going so you don't get cold and the sound of the rain when you're all cosy and warm inside is so relaxing they have all amenities needed, the shower was lovely and hot, the kitchen was well kitted out with everything you need, worth noting they don't have a microwave but we didn't need one anyway so all good for us.
Reading others reveiws before we came I was expecting it to be lovely and we weren't disappointed at all

My partner and I chose to stay here for our anniversary. We were especially excited about the view and it didn't disappoint! Stunning morning through to the night. We even saw fireworks over the valley! The space itself was spacious and had everything we needed. We thought the local OS map was great! And definely enjoyed a few local walks. The yurt was very warm with the fire on... Just make sure it stocked up before bed. Our stay was in November so a little cold is to be expected! Shayne and Nathan were great hosts. Nathan helped us check and ensured we had all we needed. Overall I would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet break in a stunning location.

You can look forward to peace, quiet, wind, chickens, views, lovely walks and all based in a beautiful yurt. Camping with attitude.

We (2 people and a dog) had a relaxing stay in this clean, rustic glamping yurt and cabin. Lovely views, very peaceful and a comfortable bed. Friendly and responsive host. Good base for exploring the surrounding area. Deck was great for a cuppa, breakfast & bird spotting.

House rules and directions were detailed, which made check in very hands-off (you can arrange for in-person check in if desired) and straight forward. Nathan was quick to bring us bedding for the second bed and to check that the cabin door handle (bit loose) and yurt door cover (bit tired, you have to just fold it under the poles of the yurt) were both as they should be. This was much appreciated and meant we could just relax and enjoy the space. Thank you for having us!

NOTE: we encountered a lot of ticks, even just walking on the road (we've done off-grid, middle of nature camping adventures a lot and not had as many as we did here) so come prepared, especially if bringing a dog with you.

From the get-go Nathan and Shayne where fantastic. Any questions you have leading up to to your check-inn date are responded quickly, Including local knowledge of information about any activities you've got planned in the area. The quick 10 minute introduction about the facilities was good, we even asked several questions about how the off-grid system they have works. The Yurt itself was incredible and very clean. The amenities on-site where also great and clean. Our group spent the day climbing Snowden and was lovely to come back to a shower (which uses straight off the mountain water) and have the fire on in the Yurt. Throughout our stay Nathan & Shayne left us to it, but was contactable throughout if we needed anything. Definitely a place to visit if you're thinking about seeing Wales, all in all a great experiance and will be visiting again.
