What a top place! We’ve had a quick family break (2 adults, 3 kids age 9,10,13) and we’ve loved every minute of Yurt life! The Yurt itself is fantastic and a great space. Brilliantly decorated, a cosy warm stove and outside area for fires, seating. The facilities are all thoughtfully done with attention paid to being self sufficient as you are off grid. You wouldn’t know this though as you have all you need. The area itself is off the beaten track and you need to drive to access shops, eating etc but there is also a well equipped kitchen and self-catering facilities which we also made use of. Set in an area of nothing but forests and views it’s tranquil yet you don’t feel isolated. We explored the forest tracks and paths on the doorstep as well as getting on the lake at Bala just down the road. So many good places to see, visit, walk, climb all within 30/40mins in a car. Finally, can’t say enough about the super hosts, Nathan and Shayne. Made us feel instantly welcome, passionate about the Yurt and being off grid, great local knowledge and readily available if you need them, if you don’t you won’t know they are there. We plan 2 return visits we enjoyed it that much - 1 in depth of winter with snow and 1 in height of summer as we imagine it’s an amazing place to be at these times.

Stayed in the mini yurt for a few days which was lovely. The yurt is comfortable and cosy and the surroundings are very relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and is right next to the yurt, as is the bathroom which is spotless. Nathan & Shayne are great hosts and ensure you have a hassle free stay, lovely people.

We had an amazing stay in Shayne and Nathan’s Mongolian yurt. It was beautiful and so cosy in the evening with the fire lit. We couldn’t have needed anything more as the set up is lovely with great cooking cabin and toilet and showers. A very cool place to stay and we can’t wait to come back again!

This is our third time in the yurt, and as always, it was a true pleasure. Everything was immaculately clean and the Yurt was kept toasty warm with the wood. We will return, its one of our favourite get-aways!
