    Whilst appreciating and supporting the ethos of the ecological experience, the lack of WiFi made it impossible to communicate with friends and family. We feel WiFi is vital to be added to this beautiful area. Small issue, Eco fire lighters should be used, not chemical. First night sleepless due to Co 2 monitor bleeping all first night due to new battery needed. Nic changed it the next day. The gas hob wasn't working well, both rings only worked at half power so cooking took a very long time!! Cigarette lighter not good enough for lighting log burner and hob, needs a safer long eco candle lighter. Log burner seal needed replacing as logs were burning too quickly. More lighting needed in all rooms and a maiden for drying towels in front of the log burner etc. The Kitchen area needs to be made water tight as all our food and outdoor shoes were saturated with the torrential rain! We visited the house a few times with questions, only met Nic once. Would have preferred if Fran had knocked on our door to ask if all was okay. Tried messaging her but as had no signal it was difficult to communicate. A value for money addition would be a hot tub fired by a log burner.

    It was very clean. The Bed was comfortable. Lots of extra blankets and lovely authentic yurt colours. Log burner was good. Loved the eco shower & loo cleaning products. The Shower was powerful and hot. Ponds and woodland idyllic. Lovely relaxing outdoor area around the yurt, the fire pit and outdoor eating area would have been perfect if it had been dry. Even though the rain was torrential we were dry inside the yurt.

    I didn't like having to leave.

    Stunning location with a lovely back to nature feel. Very quiet with the yurts spaced well so that you feel like you have the place to yourselves. Fran and Nick we're so friendly and welcoming. Diego the dog is wonderfully entertaining and great for cuddles as are his little cat friends. They will pop around to make sure you're happy and for a little fuss. Basically a great place to stay.

    The steep hill and our heavy car didn’t quite get on!

    …..and relax!😌It was a beautiful and tranquil start to our holiday! After a long drive we arrived and immediately wished we’d booked for 2 nights! We booked it as a stop over en route to our holiday. Such a beautiful location, the yurt was immaculate and Fran couldn’t have been more helpful. The kids loved exploring the woodland and it was such a great adventure playground for them! We all slept so well! This place is very special, what they are building here is great! Can’t recommend this place enough!

    The toilet isn't connected to the yurt (understandably because the smell would be awful). It is a compost toilet, that smells a bit like overcooked shrimp. It was a simple shed with no lock for the door - the shower didn't have a lock either. More hooks for clothes and a towel would be appreciated. The yurt inside smelled a bit stale because there was a bad circulation of air and the only light sources are the doors and the sky window at the top of the yurt, as well as a dim decor light running along the inside. It's a bit bright in the morning.

    The location is very calming. There are two or three ponds that look over the mountain. When you peer over, it seems that you are staring at the edge of the world because the trees cover the hill underneath on the other side. Very relaxing. There are lots of funny statues on the main path. To get the yurt we lived in, you went up some small wooden steps that crossed a stream. The beds were very comfortable, and you could make your fire in a fire pan outdoors. When it got dark, this was a great source of warmth. The shower was next to the house outside, and it was gas-powered, meaning the warm water came very fast. Three cats are adorable and very friendly. The black cat is so cute! He likes to sit around and accompany you. The black and white cat is very clever and sits underneath the fire pan at night for a cosy time. The striped cat and the black and white ones are a bit shyer. :)

    The composting toilet is an eye opener! A little air freshener would help when the weather is warm 😜

    The facilities were well thought out with lovely little added homely touches such as the mirror, and little twinkly lights. We felt we had everything we needed for our stay. We loved watching the sun set over the mountains and then waking up to the fresh forest smell from the rainfall overnight. The owners were helpful and we felt that they got to know us as opposed to us being ‘left to it’!

    That we had to go home. We could happily have stayed a few weeks rather than just the few days we had booked.

    Yurtopia is an exceptional place to visit. It's a magical escape from the worries and stress of everyday life. The owners Fran and Nick have worked hard to create this little haven nestled in the Welsh Hills. They are exceptional hosts, keen to make all feel welcome and valued and ensure needs and expectations are met. I went solo with my three children aged 6, 9 and 12. They all loved the experience from start to finish. The Yurts are well appointed with a proper king sized bed, comfortable mattress and lovely bedding. There is also a single bed with a pullout trundle. Lots of blankets to spare if needed, although we were toasty warm with the wood burner. The entrance to the Yurt leads off into a very well appointed open air kitchen, with gas camp oven and hobs, kettle, sink and a full compliment of cooking tools. Each Yurt has its own outhouse shower with hot running water and a separate composting toilet (yes it does have a seat, and no it doesn't smell). Shampoo, conditioner and soaps provided in line with eco credentials. There are chickens to feed scraps to. A couple of beautiful, big dogs to make a fuss of, who will hang out with you around the evening campfires and greet you with a wag in the morning (if you are scared of dogs this probably isn't the plane for you), patrol the site. Everything is safe and enclosed enabling children to wake and explore the beautiful pathways, views and hidden fairy gardens independently while parents relax. There are large ponds with jetties so those with very young children would need to be mindful of this.

    The only thing i didn't like is the sound each morning of cats going through your yurt kitchen bins and any thing left on the side had to take everything in the yurt at night so maybe a good idea to get a wooden door for each kitchen just to keep the little gits out but otherwise perfect

    Wow what an amazing place, the staff fran and nick we're amazing very friendly, diago the dog was the nicest dog you could meet he just came and sat round the fire with us lovely big daft strong boy,the yurt we stayed in was the raven lovely an tidy and clean beds were very comfortable the site is so peaceful and you feel at one with nature no phone signal at all which made it even better would definitely recommend to anyone thinking off coming great family break.

    Everything was just perfect and totally exceeded our expectations. It’s incredible what Fran and Nick have managed to create. Could have easily spent a week here chilling by the lake, making fires and hanging out with the worlds friendliest animals! Hands down one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Massive thank you to Fran and Nick for everything!
