Just back from a fabulous three day break in the Welsh mountains at one of the most unique airbnb properties we have ever stayed in.

The location was excellent, being conveniently placed to access most of North Wales abd the yurt was everything that we expected, and yes, while we were in fact living off the grid, Shayne and Nathan made sure that the whole experience was extremely comfortable with plenty of hot showers and great kitchen facilities (and even wifi if you just have to keep in touch with the outside world but much better to leave technology behind and enjoy a more natural way of living)

The yurt itself is a work of art and with the stove burning bright, a wonderful place to be on a winters night under what seemed to be a million stars.

Highly recommended and hope to come back and share again Shayne and Nathan's unique way of life. Communication was prompt, directions accurate and check in was easy.

You won't be disappointed.

An amazing place to stay with plenty of walking routes nearby. Luckily the weather wasn't too cold for a January visit but the fire made the yurt very cosy for the evenings. Worth knowing that the kitchen is well stocked with utensils so great if you are wanting to cook from scratch. We would definitely recommend staying here if you're after a peaceful getaway!

A beautiful spot in stunning scenery. If you want to escape and get off grid, this place is ideal. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. The yurt is stunning inside. Will defo return. Loved it!

We had an excellent weekend staying in one of Shayne and Nathan's yurts, situated in a tranquil Welsh valley. Our only suggestion would be to rethink the quantity of pre-arrival info guests are required to engage with. There's over 2,000 words for the guest rules, which is also accompanied by a 30 minute intro video. The rules are all very reasonable and fair, but having to engage with that amount of info felt a bit excessive for a 2 night stay! Otherwise one of the best glamping experiences we've had so far -- thank you.
