Greener Glamping

test album

Ty Mam Mawr is a perfect haven, set in stunning land scape nestled in a valley. I recently attended a Bioenergetics shaking retreat there; Shayne and Nathan made perfect hosts for a weekend where we all mucked in together; super relaxed and easy to get along with, over seeing us and also pointing us in the right direction for walks and wild swims in rivers and reservoirs. The round house, made out of natural materials made a wonderful place for meditations and inner reflection work. I'm already looking forward to the next weekend planned in November.....hope to see you there!

What a wonderful place! When we arrived in Cynwyd we were struggling with baggage and so Nathan very kindly offered to pick us up and take us to the yurts. It was a nice drive up to the yurts and we were greeted with the freshest air I’ve ever tasted.. Nathan showed us around the place and explained everything perfectly, we had nothing to really ask him (other than when we realised we don’t really know how fires work). We stayed in the smaller yurt and it was perfect for the two of us, it heated up really quickly and retained heat well (in late December). The yurt itself was so cosy I still can’t get my head around how at home I felt. We didn’t have a car and luckily that wasn’t even necessary once we had got up to the yurts, there are walks for miles in almost every direction (tall pine forests, beautiful red valleys, the fresh f*cking air!±!!). Despite not seeing Nathan much once we arrived, he was still very responsive and helpful when we messaged him.

So onto the actual site itself that the two yurts (including Nathan & Shaynes house) were on. I could honestly go on forever in describing just how magical it really feels. We felt like we had more than enough privacy whilst still not feeling isolated, and that is due to how well they have designed everything. From the placement of the pond to the view from the yurt (and kitchen) window. You can hear a mixture of running water, singing birds, blowing trees, and pure beauty. Nathan & Shayne have clearly considered being as integrated into the natural landscape as possible whilst still being able to provide comfort and convenience for everyone there. It seems they have also considered the most subtle details in producing a tranquil and truly spiritual space to feel free in.

All in all it was amaaaazing, and I could still go on explaining why, but I want to eat my dinner. Thankyou SO much to Nathan, Shayne & Mother Nature for providing this whole experience!!! :)) ❤️ Xxx

Lovely yurts and facilities in a lovely location. Only met Nathan but he was lovely too.

To me it seems that the facilities are mismatched to the yurts; it would make more sense if the big yurt came with the big kitchen and bathroom. Didnt matter to us though as we booked the whole place, I would suggest doing that if you are a larger group.

All communication with Nathan and Shayne was very clear. Make sure you read the guest handbook and watch the video! I guess they have had some expensive damages in the past... you dont want to be those people!

We will definitely consider coming back here in the future, a great place to spend time with those that you love.

Would definitely recommend as the whole experience was perfect and there’s plenty to do in and around snowdonia.

The whole place was clean and beautiful and look forward to doing it again.

You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks

Shayne and Nathan were friendly hosts who were very helpful and a pleasure to meet. Our large group of 12 was very comfortably housed in their retreat which was relaxing and well facilitated. We all enjoyed our evening around the fire pit catching up and enjoying the beautiful scenery around their property. Looking forward to our next visit.
