Relaxing on the new bowling green...not quite flat though...

That was a seriously hard but rewarding days work...time for a cider now!

Hidden up the valley on the edge of a forest it is not the easiest to find but what a treasure awaits when you get there.
An instant peace comes over you as you park up behind your yurt, before being wowed by the fairylights and wood burning stove to greet you in the cosy bed space. Even in icy temperatures the yurt holds its heat and with only the stream nearby you’re easily lulled off to sleep.
To be clear this does not feel like a camping trip, the communal shower and bathroom are clean and warm. Attached to a large cabin with industrial cooker to create whatever takes your fancy.
If you want to save time and meet the locals then head 10 mins down the road to llandrillo. The Dudley arms was a cosy traditional pub with good food and a friendly feel. Or for a special occasion Tyddyn Llan is your local Michelin star restaurant with a friendly dinner party atmosphere.
During the day there are plenty of forest, lake and mountain walks for all experience levels. The mountains making a dramatic backdrop to any expedition.
To top it all off Nathan and Shayne are so welcoming and knowledgeable about the area that you can completely unwind, watching the sunrise and set from your hammock.

A very relaxing experience! Warmer than expected in February once you get the wood burner going and a lovely space to be in. We brought a radio and games to keep ourselves entertained as not too much to do nearby in the evenings, but lots of nice walks within easy drive! Shayne and Nathan were great hosts and made us feel really welcome!

We had a great time in North Wales. Shayne and Nathan gave us a great welcome and showed us how everything worked in the yurt. The wood burning stove was an essential ingredient in the middle of December! The surroundings are great, a very peaceful escape.

Off the grid living was AWESOME!!!! WOW! The eco-yurt is everything my partner and I could have asked for any more!! Our first night was cold but then the weather picked up beautifully and we were super snug and warm in front of the fire when we got in from the local pub.

The kitchen is simple and has everything you need to cook :) We really embraced the outdoors and sat and watched the stars most nights - if you love adventure and the outdoors, then Shayne and Nathans cute little space is just perfect. Super cosy with lots of extra space - enough for two couples to comfortably enjoy their stay!

Thank you again!!! :)
