Ty Mam Mawr

Greener Glamping

Posted on October 4, 2020July 30, 2025 by Nathan Green

So we are really pleased to announce that not only have we been certificated by the Greener Camping Club, we’ve also now sent our new Greener Glamping website live at greenerglamping.uk.

Our new site is specifically for renting the yurts only and not the whole of Ty Mam Mawr retreat centre.

One of the best places we've ever stayed. The area is like stepping into another world. Serene and peaceful, no light pollution so tonnes of stargazing to be had. Not far to a couple of idealic locations for excursions or hikes!

Had an absolutely fantastic stay at the yurt over the long weekend with my partner and dog - Have already recommended to friends and will definitely be back!

Shayne welcomed us on arrival and was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay, answering all questions and providing help as and when needed. Nathan helped provide us a list of pubs to book and help when we had a small, fixable issue with our shower. It was seen to straight away.

Everything is exactly as described, and even goes above and beyond. The kitchen area had everything we could have needed, there were extras such as board games for the one rainy day we did have, enough firewood to purchase from at a reasonable price and use throughout the stays, and the lovely chicken, cats, and dogs roaming around the yurts. The place is completely off grid and peaceful, with many beautiful walks nearby.

We also drove to Snowdon which was only an hour away. The yurt is a great location to chill at or explore.

Thank you for a lovely stay!

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!

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

Si & Liz
