We really loved our stay in the Yurt, beautiful inside and out we felt so relaxed and in our own little world. The new kitchen & bathroom has everything you need for a comfortable stay, who doesn't love a whistling kettle?! There is plenty to do whether you have a car or not, lovely walks, a sit in the hammock or Snowdonia is about an hours drive. Shayne & Nathan were fantastic hosts and very inspiring, such a wonderful outlook on life we'll definitely be back again.. maybe to pick your brains more about building our own Hobbit hole!!

if you want an experience and dont mind outdoor life this is for you. if you hate camping or want 5* luxury then not for you. this is a top end Yurt with great facilities especially if you go for the cabin with the smaller yurt. give it a go its great.

We (2 people and a dog) had a relaxing stay in this clean, rustic glamping yurt and cabin. Lovely views, very peaceful and a comfortable bed. Friendly and responsive host. Good base for exploring the surrounding area. Deck was great for a cuppa, breakfast & bird spotting.

House rules and directions were detailed, which made check in very hands-off (you can arrange for in-person check in if desired) and straight forward. Nathan was quick to bring us bedding for the second bed and to check that the cabin door handle (bit loose) and yurt door cover (bit tired, you have to just fold it under the poles of the yurt) were both as they should be. This was much appreciated and meant we could just relax and enjoy the space. Thank you for having us!

NOTE: we encountered a lot of ticks, even just walking on the road (we've done off-grid, middle of nature camping adventures a lot and not had as many as we did here) so come prepared, especially if bringing a dog with you.

An absolutely amazing experience!! such a beautiful yurt with lovely touches. My highlight was definitely renting their dog for the day for a long walk through the forest. 100% returning here

Beautiful location. Even though it was raining we were nice and warm inside. Best part was listening to the owls at night ! Will definitely return!!
