Exceeded all expectations, we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our stay - even despite there being a storm. The yurt was so lovely, cosy and super clean - the stove heats it up really well and we stayed warm and snug all night long. The kitchen and bathroom also really clean, great hot shower and everything was provided that you’d need for an enjoyable break away in the countryside.
We were just gutted the weather was rubbish and we didn’t get to enjoy the hammocks and outdoor fire pit - we’ll have to come back!! Not that we needed an excuse :D. Thanks Nathan & Shayne :)

Lovely stay for my sisters 30th. Very responsive reply’s and helpful.

Very clean and lots of space. Kitchen was great for supplies and a hang out.

Gorgeous surroundings and lots of stuff too do. Nathan recommended the Grouse in which was great for a roast dinner, we did this on the way home.

Came from Liverpool and the drive was perfect, very chilled.

Great for a retreat kind of holiday which we did, Nathan offered to let us use the roundhouse for yoga one morning which was absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for our needs!

Thank you very much

Our remit was for somewhere remote, where we can get away from the world and relax, and just explore the beautiful surroundings - Nathan's place hit the bullseye.

Nathan was there when we arrived and showed us what we needed to know. The yurt had lots of added extras you don't always expect such as crockery, pans, cutlery, tea/coffee etc. and was all set up for us when we arrived. The Yurt (large) was huge and was exactly what you would expect.

There are so many different walks to go and explore the stunning surroundings and if you want some time away from the 'rat race' I can thoroughly recommend this place, it will not disappoint.

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!

Just back from my wonderful week away solo stay in Shayne & Nathan's yurt. Secluded enough to feel cut off from it all but with all the amenities you could possibly need for a longer stay, it's nestled in a stunning location with plenty of excellent walks on your doorstep. The yurt itself was sizeable, homely and it didn't take long for me to settle in. Shayne & Nathan were brilliant hosts, full of helpful tips and always on-hand to keep the wood burner stocked - their dog Ruby even showed me around the Cynwyd Forest trails! I'll definitely be thinking about planning a return visit!
