    Loved it here. Heated blanket on the bed, hot shower and hot water in the kitchen area. For first time glamping I would definitely stay here again. Close to Llangollen, the canal. Fridge in kitchen area, microwave, kettle, pots and pans,stove everything you need. Beautiful furnishings.

    The chemical toilet was a new one for us but not an insurmountable issue. There wasn't anything else we didnt enjoy!

    Really comfy and inviting accommodation, equipped with everything you might need for a weekend break. Great location for walks, pubs and quick access into Llangollen. Loved our stay!

    Gets very hot in summer without ventilation. Also found we had to lift the door slightly to get the lock to work; easy once you know but initially a little confusing.

    Absolutely stunning location with beautiful view and so peaceful. We will very likely stay again as our retreat when we need a break from society.

    A few cobwebs around the outside kitchen, but can't be helped, I guess, given the 'living with nature' setting.

    The aesthetics of the place were spot on, with a lovely outdoor seating area. Super comfy bed and gorgeous setup inside the yurt. Nice and peaceful, my wife enjoyed a chat with the sheep in the neighbouring field, and we liked hearing an owl in the woods at night.

    There's no wifi and the lock to the yurt doesn't work. No toiletries (or towels) are included, so bring your own--and the kitchen amenities are sufficient but time-worn.

    Wonderful hosts and stunning location. Quiet, beautiful scenery, and comfortable furnishings made this trip very relaxing. Llangollen and its castle ruins are just a short five-minute drive away, as is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. There are numerous high-quality pubs with riverside views nearby, and Chirk Castle is also worth a visit.

    Sign on road to show where the yurt was was too small but host guided us in. We were expecting towels but none were provided, maybe we were naive as we were staying in Yurt not hotel or B&B?

    Fantastic location and host was very friendly and gave advice on where to eat locally.

    That we couldn't stay for longer

    Location was amazing. The Yurt was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There was something magical being outside late into the night listening to owls and other wildlife. It was just the tonic to recharge our batteries. Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely stay there again. Location was so good we didn't need to use our car as all activities that we had planned we were able to get too by foot or by bus.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    We loved everything. An amazing stay. Set in beautiful gardens and surrounded by gorgeous views. Couldn't fault a thing. Will definitely be staying again in the future. The yurt and kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Remember to pack your own towels though as these aenrt provided. The kitchen area has a large fridge and everything you need to make a meal. Great location. A 10 minute walk to the sun Trevor pub which served delicious food.

    The advert in booking.com shows pictures of horses next to yurt and we were looking forward to see that, unfortunately that was not the case. may be these pictures should be removed so that guests do not have false expectations. place is still beautiful.

    Beautiful setting and access to local area attractions . Sam and Simon were very approachable and helpful, thank you.

    Beautiful location, peaceful but not too far from amenities of town. Friendly helpful hosts. Amazing accommodation.
