Had a lovely time staying at Nathan and Shayne's place. Great location, and really nice hosts. Liked the chickens wandering about, and the water (pumped from a nearby spring?) was amazing. Yurts were great too.

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.

We recently returned home from our holiday in the yurt but we already miss it! Nathan and Shayne were perfect hosts, they gave us lots of friendly advice regarding the surrounding area and local walks. They left us to our own devices, however were always on hand if we needed them. Had a brilliant time, having bbqs and using the fire pit. The woodburning stove kept us toasty in the evening too! The Yurt was beautifully decorated, just like the photos, and all towels and pots and pans provided. The outdoor shower was a good experience too! Really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the future, thank you!

We had a lovely stay, the yurt was gorgeous and very cosy. The deck outside was fantastic to sit out and enjoy the sunshine. Lovely location, so peaceful and I loved all the fruit trees, statues etc and the general ambiance was wonderful. Very welcome hot showers after our walk in the hills, and the kitchen was a nice space to sit and enjoy our breakfast. Thanks so much!

The yurt was nicely set-up in a scenic area, there were beautiful sunrises and a nice starry sky if lucky with clear skies. Nathan was very welcoming, even his dog, Ruby and the cats too! It was tad too short a stay admittedly due to time constraints, so didn't have too much time to explore to my heart's content. Due to the period of stay, it was low digit temperatures cold but plenty of firewood and firelighters to getting toasty that do require some time before getting warm, which also have to be maintained at regular intervals. Other than that, a nice getaway in a town full of just as friendly people. (:
