I just held a breathwork and shamanic healing retreat at Ty Mam Mawr and it was a beautiful experience beginning to end. This review almost seems like I'm cheating writing a good review for two extremely good friends, that's how well we were welcomed and the depth of our connection to Shayne and Nathan. The location is absolutely gorgeous. The yurts are really cool and cosy. The round house is an energetic bubble with the vibe of a really sacred space.

Shayne and Nathan are two of the most pleasant, loving, funny and authentic people I've ever met. I'm definitely coming back to see them. Friends for life no matter the distance.

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 the absolute pleasure of running our first official retreat at Ty Mam Mawr and what an experience it was! Shayne and Nathan, who own this beautiful space, are the most helpful and gracious owners. From start to finish they assisted us wherever we needed, from frequent phone calls on the lead up to the retreat, to providing recipes and even cooking our whole group a delicious meal on the last night x Shayne and Nathan what you have created together is absolutely awe inspiring and I cannot recommend this place enough to others. Mickey and I will be back for sure and I know we have made friends for life in Shayne and Nathan. So much love to you both ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

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.
