We give this place a ten out of ten, it ticked every box. We were not after a boozy party weekend, so if that’s what your after you would be wasting your time. Set up in a beautiful rural area of Wales, we stayed in one of the yurts with all the necessities we could need. The weather was miserable at times which all added to the experience, our own log burner inside to keep us warm after amazing walks in the hills and deep forests.
We didnt see a soul on our walks, the site is literally the last sign of civilisation before you enter the woods. From start to finish we couldn’t have asked for better hosts, they literally couldn’t have done anymore for us. Lovely people, thanks you so much for making us feel so welcome, I loved my surprise birthday weekend.
I recommend this place ten fold to anyone wanting to get a break away from the fast paced city life, who want there own chill spot with adventures all around. Also there was a mention of reservoirs very close by which we will take a walk to next time we go!!! Can’t wait.

Me and my husband wanted to get away for a few days and what an amazing experience

To begin with the scenery was absolutely amazing waking up to the mountain views was the best part. Pairing it with the sheeps makes it worthwhile.

The yurt interior was absolutely beautiful and comfortable and everything was exactly as described.

It is important to keep in mind when booking that during the cold season you will go through at least two packs of logs to keep warm so be wary (we didn’t have an issue but it’s important to note). Secondly we did have an issue with frozen pipes during the end of our stay but the hosts are very responsive and helped us with it.

Rosie the chicken was probably the best part of the trip (for those scared of chickens she does follow you around).

There are no signals down there but the WiFi was working perfectly fine (We were able to stream and make video calls ).

There was free ample parking on the site. There wasn’t a lock on the door but the hosts reassured us that it was completely safe and we didn’t encounter any issues during our stay.

We did arrive late in the evening and made the hosts aware, and they still welcomed us even though it was quite late.

Overall it was an amazing experience and we will definitely be visiting again

We had a fantastic and peaceful time in this spacious, magical, beautifully lit traditional yurt, away from it all in the midst of the North Welsh hills. Very friendly, accommodating hosts

Just what we’d hoped for and exactly like the photos. Very spacious kitchen and toilet close enough to the yurt. Stay made better with the decking and hammocks- even in February. Peaceful location.
