What a special place this is! It was in exactly the location we were after for the Welsh leg of our road trip and the idea of a remote yurt certainly did appeal! The yurt was super comfortable and kept us cosy during some heavy rain. The view from the deck when the sun came out was fantastic. Kitchen cabin had everything we needed as well. Shayn & Nathan were great hosts and have created such a great place to stay. Totally recommend for anyone wanting something a little off the beaten track and different! I hope to get back there soon.

We were made very welcome by the hosts who went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and at home. The location was absolutely stunning and ideal for accessing both the coast and Snowdonia National Park.

Staying in the yurt was great fun and very comfortable. It was really good to light a fire each night in the log burner for warmth and the fairy lights around the inside were a very nice touch. It was the perfect place to escape and relax for a few days, with the only sounds coming from the wind in the trees and the various wildlife around.

We highly recommend but don't want it too booked up because we'd like to go and stay again!

Second stay at the Yurt, again, yurt very clean and comfortable. Plenty of additional throws, pillows etc if needed. Ample wood to keep us toasty warm, not like it was needed!
kitchen / diner and shower room absolutely spotless.
Towels provided too. Everything you need.

We LOVE this place and we plan to make it a regular break!. The location is beautiful, close to some nearby villages too!
Shayne and Nathan are also fantastic hosts, checking we have everything we need. Gorgeously serene environment! Highly recommended.

This is our third time in the yurt, and as always, it was a true pleasure. Everything was immaculately clean and the Yurt was kept toasty warm with the wood. We will return, its one of our favourite get-aways!

Such a beautiful place to spend the weekend! I cannot recommend Shayne and Nathan's place enough.
Our hosts were super hospitable and friendly, any questions we had they were just a text away.
The large Yurt is authentically Mongolian and it is a truly magical space, perfect for a group to relax around a fire. The smaller yurt was more secluded, really gorgeous and had a beautiful view. Super warm and cosy and no need for the fires. Nathan generously supplied a starter kit too so no forking out for fire wood! You are off-grid so we had to be mindful of the resources we used, another way this unique accommodation helped connect us to nature.
