    Having to leave, we wished we booked longer!

    Absolutely loved our weekend away this place is truly a hidden gem! A tranquil woodland with 2 lakes to explore and so many hidden statues to spot on your way around, and loads of places to stop and sit, the yurt was cozy and had plenty of blankets and pillows! It was a rainy weekend so didn't make the most of the outside space but listening to the rain inside the yurt with the wood burner on was beautiful! Perfect spot for stargazing ✨️ Fran was welcoming and willing to help us get some kindling and anything else we needed, We also met Diego the free roaming dog and one of the cats and had loads of cuddles! Thank you for sharing your home with us We can't wait to come back ✨️

    Conditions were particularly wild, cold and windy unfortunately for my visit, which made it challenging to keep warm even with log burner on full! Lighting very dim within yurt and kitchen space - would be handy to have an additional lamp to be able to read / make food etc (the lights in shower and toilet worked great).

    Beautiful peaceful setting, lovely self-contained area with campfire and outside seating area, lovely walks all round. Yurt very nicely set up and well provisioned.

    Nothing to dislike

    Absolutely everything!! To be able to shut off from the modern world and relax along side nature was amazing. There is several nice walks around the site including the lake. We enjoyed the beautiful comfy yurt which was so cosy with the log burner on. And the bed was very comfy We made use of the bbq/fire pit to enjoy dinner and star gaze into the night The shower was clean and had hot water and the compost toilet was completely functional which was authentic to the surroundings. We made friends with the owners dog Diego who was so friendly and relaxed gentle giant and joined use for our nightly bbqs. We was provided with all cosmetics shampoo/conditioner and body wash which was eco friendly and smelt lovely. We will hopefully be returning to enjoy another perfect weekend getaway soon.

    The only thing which let this stay down was the state of the cooking utensils provided. While there was everything you needed, many of the utensils were dirty, some, such as the spatulas actualy had a green mold on them. Having stayed in other Yurt locations I also missed having a covered floor, as this makes the Yurt feel really cosy. In this case there were just bare boards with gaps between them.

    The location is amazing, a real woodland wonderland. The road to the location is quite a difficult single track road with some quite steep inclines which you should be aware of if you are a nervous driver. However the location is a remote woodland so the access route is to be expected. The site manager was very friendly and helpful. He came out in his car to guide us in as we were having difficulty finding the location. Our shower was not working when we arrived and unfortunatley it could not be fixed, however other facilities were provided a short minutes walk away. The Yurt was clean and cosy. We had ordered a fire wood package, and as the shower was not working we were not charged for the wood as compensation, which was a nice gesture.

    The Welsh weather tried its best to disrupt things... but we stayed warm and dry in the yurt.

    A beautiful oasis of calm - great for a few days away to chill. The yurt was super comfy and homely, hosts Fran and Nick couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. The setting is stunning, the countryside around is great for walking. Within easy walking distance is a pub, a garage and a pottery - where you can learn to throw. We arrived on our bikes- so it was great having lots to do close by, whilst feeling totally secluded in the woods.

    The location is amazing and the area is simply stunning, however the yurt was not up to the same standards we have experienced elsewhere. We were aware it was about staying in the woods which was a fabulous experience however the yurt had no floor insulation and was straight into decking which saw the cold come through the gaps in the decking so through the night was cold. The host had supplied extra bedding and the bed was comfortable but we did expect the floor to be insulated.

    It was very peaceful and secluded,not overlooked at all. Myself and my husband were really surprised how well we got on without technology...we actually spoke to each other! I read a book by the lake,which was so beautiful,not another soul around. We even adapted to cooking,showering and toileting outside,the facilities were great so it wasn't too hard to adjust. The owners were really helpful,got whatever we needed. We can't wait to return.

    What could have been better? To be honest, the only way it could have been better for us, is if we stayed longer, honestly it was that good!

    An amazing location and an experience like no other. The Yurt itself was comfortable and had all the essentials you need for your stay. We spent most of our evenings there next to the fire pit, enjoying the views and relaxing. I cannot stress enough how enjoyable the whole experience was.

    The toilets were not clean. I was shocked to find other people's feces and used sanitary products in the toilet. The beds didn't smell freshly washed, overall it wasn't very clean. Booked the Raven Yurt but given the Mushroom Yurt.

    The location was nice

    All lovely and no complaints at all but we hit a very wet and windy weekend - all warm and dry in the yurt but it limited eating/sitting outside… HOWEVER, it meant the waterfalls at Devils Bridge were absolutely SPECTACULAR!!

    Beautiful to stay amongst woodland/birds, sit beside small lakes to eat dinner, lots of space and privacy… Yurt had cosy woodburner and separate hot shower and compost loo… Kitchenette in porch was simple (cool box no fridge) but very well equipped with kitchen cutlery! Fran was friendly, helpful, relaxed… and very kind when I broke down on the access road out!!

    Truthfully, there was nothing I didn’t like. I enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait to return! The staff made you feel like you was an old friend coming to visit! And I finished off my stay by doing a morning yoga class… perfect!

    What wasn’t to like? It was the most perfect place to unwind, restore and immerse yourself into nature. It was beautiful. We had the most relaxing stay, reading by the lake and relaxing by the fire.
