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.

Shayne and Nathan are really great host. Everything was same as it was described and cleanliness was awesome. Place is beautiful and would highly recommend for relaxation and exploring the area around.

This place is incredible! If you want to escape the bustle of the city life, definitely come here. The beds were both really comfy and the log burner made it super cosy! There is a really nice long walk which goes through a forest and a reservoir - about 1.5hrs long but definitely worth it! The recommendations for food also v v good! We ate at the corn mill and the food was to die for!

Couldn't thank you enough for letting us in on your little secret haven !!

My family and I stayed here to celebrate my birthday. The yurt is beautiful and the facilities are well above the standard you would expect from off grid living. We were able to enjoy the bbq and fire pit. Chilling our drinks in the pond was all part of the adventure (there is a very large kitchen with fridge available but that isn’t as fun!)
Shayne was a wonderful host and although we didn’t meet Nathan his enthusiasm for off grid living was evident in all the fantastic facilities he has built.
Stay here to get away from it all.

Beautiful location and wonderful hosts. Nathan met us when we arrived and gave us the tour and rundown of the facilities.
Lovely helpful hosts, we were given space to enjoy our holiday whilst never being far away should we need anything.
The kitchen is incredibly well appointed, shower is good and hot.

If you're looking for a getaway from it all you won't find better than this
