Shayne and Nathan's place is very thoughtfully prepared and laid out and we had a fantastic time here.

Shayne and Nathan are both very welcoming and hospitable hosts and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. This was the first time we had stayed in a yurt and we wholeheartedly enjoyed the rustic charm, the facilities and countryside views. The yurt itself is very spacious and comfortable with a double bed with memory foam mattress, electric hookup and wood burner stove. There's also a sofa bed too. The location is excellent with nearby amenities a short drive away and lots of countryside. The washroom facilities are very comfortable - and the shower here is fantastic! The retreat is very easy to locate using Google Maps and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you are looking for peace and quiet with friendly welcoming hosts then this is the place to be.

We have no hesitation in recommending Shayne and Nathan's retreat for your next getaway and we look forward to returning soon.

Had a lovely time in the yurt it was such a unique space. It was much warmer than we expected especially with the log burner going. Nathan was extremely welcoming with recommendations for food and walks nearby!

This place is stunning with incredible views, and at night, you can't hear a pin drop.

Kitchen facilities are excellent, and if you invest in reading the manual or watching the video, life is very simple during your stay.

Communication is good, and I'd highly recommend this place for some quality time out.

Shayne and Nathan’s yurt is AMAZING. It’s the perfect escape for the weekend in the beautiful backdrop of North Wales.

This is the second time I’ve stayed there with friends and Nathan is an amazing host. We felt instantly welcome and relaxed.

I’d highly recommend this to anyone. It’s a great space and living off the grid is cool!
