Luxurious yurts on off-grid eco retreat centre in stunning mountain location

Ty Mam Mawr comprises 2 yurts sleeping up to 11 guests with log cabin kitchen/diner/shower/toilet + smaller cabin with compost loo/shower/kitchen located high in Cynwyd forest in the beautiful Berwyn mountains in North Wales on our off grid eco property.

Dee Valley AONB on the doorstep, Snowdonia National Park nearby.

Deep peace & tranquility, stunning skies and views, no light pollution.

There are two yurts - Ty Crwn Bach Idris sleeping max 4 guests and Ty Crwn Mawr sleeping max 7 guests.

Ty Crwn Bach Idris is a very comfortable yurt with spectacular views which can easily accommodate four people. It has a double bed and a double sofa bed. It is beautifully furnished with lovely linens, wall hangings, rugs and fairy lights creating a warm and magical space.

There is a wood burning stove in the yurt which heats up the space very quickly and is perfect for boiling the kettle for a warming cuppa or making a pan of tasty soup/stew. All pots/pans, crockery and cutlery, mugs and glasses are provided. We simply ask that you wash them before you leave.

The yurt 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 in the coldest of winters.

The covered deck outside the yurt provides somewhere sheltered to sit and enjoy the BBQ or the fire pit, although there are grassy areas to use if you would prefer.

In keeping with the ethos of our home, we have tried to use reclaimed/recycled/up cycled materials wherever possible.

There is also a BBQ and a fire pit. So hey....collect some wood from the forest and light a fire....you are glamping after all!!!

There are standard electrical sockets in the yurt and low energy lighting there and in the bathroom/kitchen which all run off renewable energy sources. So by staying in Ty Crwn Bach Idris you will be doing your bit to reduce pollution and carbon emissions.

Ty Crwn Mawr is a very comfortable yurt with spectacular views which can easily accommodate six people. It has a king size bed and four single futon beds and a couple of chairs. It is beautifully furnished with lovely linens, wall hangings, rugs and fairy lights creating a warm and magical space.

Right next to the yurt are an outside cooking area, compost toilet and outdoor shower cubicle. There is a secluded seating area and fire pit/BBQ to the south of the yurt.

There is a wood burning stove in the yurt which heats up the space very quickly and is perfect for boiling the kettle for a warming cuppa or making a pan of tasty soup/stew. All pots/pans, crockery and cutlery, mugs and glasses are provided. We simply ask that you wash them before you leave.

The yurt is light and airy with a clear round window in the roof and a north facing door to help keep things cool on sunny days and hot summer nights. The floor and walls are insulated so it's toasty even in the coldest of winters.

The log cabin near the yurts contains a full kitchen (including gas cooker, electric fridge, toaster, sink with hot and cold water), dining area and shower room with power shower, flushing toilet and sink. If you'd like to experience real eco living then a compost loo is also available along with an outdoor cooking area and shower cubicle. The log cabin facilities may be occasionally used by us as well but generally only if we've run out of hot water at the house!

There are standard electrical sockets in the yurt and low energy lighting there and in the bathroom/kitchen which all run off renewable energy sources. So by staying with us you will be doing your bit to reduce pollution and carbon emissions.

Weather conditions: Please note that on the fairly infrequent occasions that the temperature drops below zero for more than a few of days the water supply to the cabin and the little shed may start to freeze and we might then have to drain the systems to prevent damage to pipes/fittings and the water heaters. We will be able to supply water in containers for drinking, cooking and washing and the compost loo will still be fully functional. We are working on 'winterising' and providing heating in the cabin and intend that this is in place later this year. We are up at 400m so if there is heavy and persistent snowfall, access to the property from the village one mile away may only be possible on foot or in a 4x4 vehicle. It's all part of the adventure!!!

If you need assistance with anything just ask. We are here to help and glad to do so. :-)

Guest access

The yurts are set well apart from the main house, about 50m. The log cabin kitchen/dining room/bathroom next to the yurts.

You will have your privacy but we are only too happy to chat, help, spend time, advise on places to go, things to do, where to walk etc. Apparently we are very approachable!

If you would like to try your hand at chopping your own wood or joining in whilst we work on the vegetable garden you will be most welcome.

Feel free to play guitars, drums, or to sing your heart out if you are musically inclined. Enjoy the space and the feeling of freedom.

You are welcome to quietly enjoy the land, sit by the pond and generally make yourselves at home. If we are enjoying our private spaces or in our garden please do be mindful of us in terms of noise levels and our privacy. Especially if you are bringing kids with you!! We are up for having some fun and if you ask us we’ll generally be happy for you to hang out with us but sometimes we like our own space too.

Wonderful Yurts close to town…

We stayed here for a ‘quirky’ hen do. It was amazing! We hired both yurts and enjoyed the use of the cabin kitchen space and the fire pit area. Cleanliness of property was outstanding. Hosts were happy for us to decorate for the hen. The yurts, however, needed very little decoration thought as they have fairy lights everywhere and look amazing in the dark…really magical. Would totally recommend staying here!
