Harvest Bounty

Posted on August 3, 2018July 30, 2025 by Shayne Newlyn

Pumpkins, squash and apples from our garden.

We spent a great night in Nathan and Shayne's yurt. It was lovely and cosy with the woodburner on and there was plenty room for 5 of us.
It is in a great setting, the kids loved playing with Ruby the dog and we had a lovely walk in the forest before leaving.
Would love to visit again.

Great location with lots of walks on your door step. Only 20 mins drive to Llangollen. Less to Corwen village. The large yurt has plenty of space with a nice comfy bed. The wood stove heats up nicely after 20-30mins. The kitchen is outside, but sheltered. It’s well equipped.
We had a lovely weekend and I would highly recommend it for the glamping experience. Remember it is glamping, so won’t always have all your luxuries, but that’s what makes it fun. :-)

The perfect retreat, just what we’ve been looking for! Ideal setting, in a peaceful countryside location, being a great base for visiting local attractions offered at nearby Bala, Llangollen, etc.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by our charming and friendly hosts, Shayne & Nathan, who although busy on various projects, always had time for a chat and we were made to feel very welcome. It was inspirational to meet such wonderful people, who genuinely have love and respect for our world, and put it into practice.

Staying in the beautiful, genuine Mongolian yurt was a wonderful experience, we especially enjoyed using the wood stove – kept us very warm and cosy. Upon entering the yurt, your eyes will be drawn to the ornate roof supports and spectacular skylight. The yurt, which is beautifully furnished, is of such a high quality construction that even the sound of heavy rain is quite subdued, to an ambient, hypnotic background, which added to the experience.

We also enjoyed using the firepit, cooking tasty chargrilled steaks and baked potatoes. FYI, there is also a BBQ available for use and the Spar shop/post office is only a few minutes down the road, should you need any extra supplies. The kitchenette is situated directly opposite the yurt and is well stocked with cutlery, pots, pans, mugs, glasses, etc (but please remember to bring your own food, matches/lighters). The outdoor natural loo (which includes a shower), also opposite, is very easy to use.

The area is teeming with wildlife, including pheasants, squirrels and owls etc. Driving up the single track road, you frequently see wandering pheasants, who seem to want to lead you to your destination, in a comical “Pythonesque” fashion! Make sure you drive slowly, to respect the local wildlife and of course, the humans!

Definitely, worth a visit, we would highly recommend this wonderful gem of a retreat and will be venturing back again. Thanks Shayne & Nathan for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

If you are looking for a place to stay that offers peaceful, picturesque and nature filled surroundings, then you are looking for the right place.
Once inside the yurt and the fire is going, it is warm and cosy and peaceful. The sound of Pheasants in the morning is all you czn hear and the view of the morning air clearing away from the hillsides makes it all the more worth while. The sun rises from the east side of the yurt and sets on the west side.
The host Nathan is very helpful and imformative and always on hand.

Stayed for 4 nights in February so weather wasn’t the best but the yurt was lovely and warm and relaxing. The place is actually even nicer than the photos, there is everything you need in the kitchen, lovely hot shower and everything was spotless. Would thoroughly recommend it for a peaceful break.
