Excellent hosts - Nathan had great communication and made check-in super easy. The yurt was very cosy and even when it was only 5 degrees outside, the inside was so warm (after a couple of minutes with a log on the fire!) Will recommend to anyone looking for a short stay in the North Wales mountains.

We had a great time staying in the yurt!! Although it was freezing, the log burner was an absolute god send and our best friend! The location is beautiful, and there is so much to do nearby! We went walking in the forest around the yurt, walking up Snowdonia, visited Llangollen and a great pub called The Corn Mill; also the Rhud farm shop is beautiful. Really enjoyed the whole experience, we had a friend one night (The cat!!) he popped into the yurt for a cuddle by the fire - more than welcome as we have two of our own! Great place and will definitely look to revisit in warmer weather to enjoy long nights out on the decking having BBQs! Thanks a lot!

There are many original and quirky places to stay on AirBnB, but I really don't think you would find anywhere better than this. The yurt and amenities are excellent and both Shayne and Nathan are truly fabulous hosts... you will instantly feel welcome and they really feel like you have become part of their lifestyle for the duration of the stay (and you get to meet their gorgeous dogs, cats and chickens!).
The views are incredible and the local area is wonderful to explore, and if you are willing to travel slightly further afield there are some great sights to see (many waterfalls, forests mountains,ravines). Me and my partner both knew we where going to have a brilliant holiday, but neither of us were quite expecting it to be as peaceful, uplifting and inspiring as it was. We can't recommend this place highly enough.

Fantastic hosts, fantastic location. Shane and Nathan we extremely welcoming from the moment we arrived. They were always happy to help with any questions we had. My partner, Puppy and I stayed for 3 wonderful and relaxing nights in the Yurt. Back to basics with WiFi - A great way to escape and see a beautiful piece of Wales. We will be back!

Really beautiful and remote. Shayne and Nathan couldn't have been nicer too.
