Ty Crwn Bach Idris (Idris’s little round house) is a cosy, gorgeous and very comfortable yurt with truly spectacular views suitable for up to four guests.
The yurt is beautifully furnished with lovely linens, wall hangings, rugs and fairy lights creating a warm and magical space. It has a super comfy double bed and a double sofa/futon. Bedsheets, duvets and pillows are provided along with plenty of extra blankets but feel free to bring more with you.
Ty Crwn Bach Idris is light and airy with a clear round glass opening window in the roof and a south facing stable door to help keep things cool on sunny days and hot summer nights. The floor and walls are insulated so it’s toasty even on the coldest of winter nights. There is a brilliant little wood burning stove which heats up the space very quickly and is perfect for boiling the kettle for a warming cuppa. A basket of logs with firelighters and kindling are provided. Further packs of logs are available along with extra kindling and firelighters.

Shayne and Nathan's yurt is in a stunning location, so peaceful and quiet, a real treat to have no road noise! The hosts are on hand, but totally respectful of our privacy, we felt like we had our very own bit of Welsh mountain. The yurt , cabin and bathroom were all spotless and really well equipped, it was really easy to cook tasty meals both in the kitchen and on the fire outside. Loved it and hope to be back, thank you! - 18 Sep 2020

Right, where to even start with this place, well first of all I spent around a month looking in detail of all similar style places, and this was by far the best looking/sounding.
When we got here both our expectations were shattered by how unreal this place is, it is abundant in beauty, from the miles of breath taking views all around you, to the tranquility of the surrounding area, it is out the way from an busy city style life.
Every direction you graced your eyes with were perfect, I am struggling to put what I experienced into words!!
We were astonished by the views in the morning over Snowdonia as we got to experience the dragon breath sweeping through mountains, waking up to that extraordinary view will be an experience I won't forget for the rest of my life.
Another part of this get away we were blown away by is the night sky, we have travelled to the dark park in Scotland, where it is renown for it's visablitly of the starts at night as they cut a hell of alot of light pollution, but when we travelled to Scotland we were not greeted with the spectacular views as we got in Cynwyd Forrest, me myself, nor my partner have ever seen so many stars In our lifes, we walked out the door of our yurt at night and just stared into the sky, stars beyond stars, again the feeling of awe was unmatchable, we couldn't of asked for anything more!! Another experience I'll remember for life!
Iv'e not shut up about the area, i haven't had chance to speak about the yurt its self, it is a beautiful looking yurt, it was really cosy, incredibly comfortable and very clean with a really nice vibe to the place, and the colours added to the vibe to. But that's just walking into the yurt, once you have the fire going and the sun goes down it becomes massively atmospheric.
I could keep writing more and more about how perfect this place but I'll just write one more thing, last but not least, Nathan and Shayne (the hosts) are two beautifully kind hearted people, they make you feel at home and are extremely helpful, they really did add a whole lot to our experience, and they are living a inspirational life in the Cynwyd Forrest, what more could you want in life than to live self reliant and off grid surrounded with such beauty.
We had a brilliant time, and are extremely upset to be back in 'reality'.
Thank you

Nathan and Shayne have a perfect spot of paradise here. They were both most helpful and had loads of information on the local area. The yurt was spacious, clean and beautiful. Couldn't ask for more. Will be returning! - 20 Jul 2021

We have just enjoyed a perfect two night stay in the yurt and did not want to leave!
The accomdation was exactly as described, but the experience was better than we could have hoped for!
The bed is incredibly comfortable and the duvet seems to be be magic; keeping you snuggly warm at night when the log burner has died down and it's really cold outside. The log burner does an excellent job of keeping the yurt warm; without it, an Autumn/Winter stay would be difficult. The space inside the yurt is good, clean and decorated in a cosy and vibrant way as can be seen from the pictures. We enjoyed closing the door of an evening and sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine and a good book.
We are not massively outdoorsy types, so to have the ability to charge a phone and connect to some wifi (on an intermittent basis) in the yurt was useful. Although, we really enjoyed being away from it all (the aim of the trip) and the simplicity of life in the yurt. It was also nice to have a toilet and outdoor shower to yourself. The shower really is warm and it's not every day you get to shower outdoors surrounded by hens, cows and birds! It's a very short dash back to the yurt and its warmth where you can dry near the fire. Delightful!
The kitchen has all the essentials for a short stay. It was useful to stay in the colder months as the food kept chilled outside in a cool box. We were lucky enough to receive 4 freshly laid eggs from our delightful feathered nextdoor neighbours, which Nathan kindly gave to us!
The decking area outside the yurt (which can be shielded from any rain and wind (although we didn't have any luckily) by clear plastic drapes) is lovely for sitting on to eat breakfast, etc. You often get to eat with a view of cows in the field directly in front of you. There are two lovely swinging chairs and a hammock and its great for watching the sunset.
Whilst you are a couple of hundred metres from Nathan and Shayne's home, you do not feel as though there is anyone but you and the yurt in the hills! Nathan could not have been anymore the perfect host. Before and during our stay, Nathan went out of his way to accomodate us, suggesting walks and loaning us a compass and map to allow us to navigate our way around. The yurt is perfectly located for easy access to a range of walks of varying difficulty. Nathan offered to help with whatever we needed but left us to enjoy our time.
We would highly recommend a stay of any length here and are desperate to return already! Monday morning in the office isn't quite the same as in the yurt!
Thank you for a wonderful stay. - 14 Oct 2015

We recently stayed for four nights with our 7 month old daughter and had a truly fantastic time. So nice to get away from everything and try something a little bit different.
Plenty to do in the local area including some lovely river/ forest walks right on your doorstep. We spent an entire day just chilling in the yurt/ garden area and our little one clearly loved it. The yurt and surrounding grounds were a sensory haven for her with so many colours, lights, sounds etc... she got particularly excited when a chicken wandered into the yurt!
Shayne and Nathan are such lovely people and delightful hosts. We fully intend to come back again soon! - 23 Aug 2019
