Relaxing on the new bowling green...not quite flat though...

That was a seriously hard but rewarding days work...time for a cider now!

We had such a wonderful time at Shayne and Nathan's peaceful mountain hideaway.
We stayed in the larger of the two yurts and the two of us had lots of space to make ourselves at home. The place was clean and peaceful, and the bed was nice and comfy.
We enjoyed using the sweet little kitchen for making our meals. We had everything we needed. The fridge was a decent size for our food for the week, and they provided useful storage boxes for our dry foods.
It was great to have sole use of our own toilet and shower too.
The fire pit and eating space was so lovely. We spent many peaceful mornings and evenings eating and chilling out and enjoying the lovely surroundings. Although we could hear a little from the other guests it didn't take away from the relaxing environment at all, and we felt like our space was private.
Nathan and Shayne were such welcoming and generous hosts. We loved chatting with them and learning about amazing places to go and visit.
We had some wonderful walks both locally and in Snowdonia National Park. Did a little wild swimming (bracing!) and just generally soaked in the peacefulness of the beautiful countryside.
We didn't want to leave! A really special place to spend some time.

This place is stunning. The yurt sits 400m above a sleepy Welsh village called Cynwyd. We arrived in the evening and woke up to gorgeous views, all covered in snow. Our hosts made sure we had everything we needed, and firewood was cheap and readily available for the stove in our yurt, keeping our stay cosy. Only a short 50 minute drive to Snowdonia national park, I fully recommend this as a place to stay if you'd like to climb Snowdon. Will definitely come back.

This was our first stay in a Yurt, and it was a wonderful time! It was easy to find, check in was easy, and the place was comfy and clean! Along with the yurt, you get a private cabin next door, where they have all the kitchen supplies you need! Shayne and Nathan were wonderful hosts, very accommodating and friendly! We had a great time!! Only complaint is that it did get pretty cold and we had some difficulty with the fire inside, getting it to start was hard without any paper kindling! So if you get cold easily like me definitely bring some layers for waiting for the fire to warm up the yurt, and possibly come paper kindling (:

We had such a lovely time in the yurt ? There was a retreat happening during our stay but that didn't disturb us at all! Wonderful place to explore the Cynwyn forest
