Our second time staying here. Booked both yurts so we had the big yurt for hanging out and the bigger kitchen space to cook and eat in. We love it here, such a beautiful space to stay in and in a lovely location. Didn't see Shayne or Nathan this time ad they were away but all communications were easy and prompt.

Gorgeous yurt and space. All very chilled and bed was so comfy. Wonderful waking up to the Berwyn forest and happily swinging in the hammock!! The small log burner off so much heat- which was lovely and would be so cosy in winter. Shayne and Nathan were very friendly and the chickens and dogs were a lovely addition!

Wow - how to sum up this place in words? We had the most amazing weekend ... beautiful countryside, incredible facilities and lovely people. Nathan and Shayne were fantastic hosts - just the right balance of friendliness (we spent the first evening and a lovely walk together) and privacy (we were never disturbed otherwise). The yurt itself - and the newly built kitchen and shower room - far exceeded our expectations, even after we'd seen all the pictures. The hosts really have thought of everything - the yurt is warm and cosy (especially when using the log burner) and the adjacent block has literally everything you could want for a totally self-reliant stay. We even made a roast dinner, just the same as we would at home. There are tons of activities (walking, swimming, cycling) on the door step and the hosts' knowledge of the area was so helpful in terms of planning our stay. Nathan and Shayne have created a true idyl up here in the Welsh hills. Rarely have we felt so relaxed and at ease on our holiday, in part due to the countryside and facilities, but mainly due to the wonderful ambiance that Nathan and Shayne have created for themselves and others. The music was also a definite bonus - excellent taste! - and we left feeling fully rejuvenated and ready to tackle life again. We also feel that we have made a couple of really amazing friends, who we sincerely hope to see again in the future. Nathan and Shayne's outlook on life is so refreshing and has given us a lot to think about going forwards. We want to thank them for an incredible experience, and all their hospitality throughout - nothing is too much trouble for them and I recommend staying here in the strongest possible terms! I've now ran out of adjectives to describe how lovely the place and hosts are, so I'll leave it there. In short, stay here and you won't be disappointed. Thanks again guys!
