Monmouthshire: soggiorni in iurte

We wanted a place where our family could connect, the children could experience a different way of life (we’re townies!) and our lungs could fill with fresh air. Moonacre Yurt hit the spot!! Surrounded by chickens, cows and Mother Nature, we soaked up as much of the atmosphere and Dide’s knowledge as possible. What a wonderful host, encouraging the kids to collect fresh eggs and talking to them about biodynamic farming, such a pleasure! Not a place for those of you wanting creature comforts (compost toilet, walk outside the yurt to get to bathroom and kitchen) but oh so wonderful for a snippet of the good life...

Lovely place: beautiful surroundings and a wonderful bit of calm away from the city!

We had the best few days in our Yurt at Hidden Valley Yurts. Mike was an excellent host, always on the end of the phone if we needed a little help (might have got a little lost on the way!). He helped us with our luggage when we arrived and when we left. We had everything we needed and particularly liked having our own bathroom facilities just for our little family. The shared kitchen and other spaces were lovely and clean and tidy and ample room for everyone staying. The yurt was beautiful and being in the centre of the beautiful countryside was just wonderful. My little girls loved it. We will definitely be going back!

We stayed over the August bank holiday and found it to be a lovely way to spend the bank holiday. The host greeted us upon our arrival which was a really nice touch, she gave us all relevant information regarding our stay and the local area... including walking directions to the nearest pub (see review on the carpenters) We stayed in Mimis tree yurt and found it to be perfectly situated as it was the first yurt you pass with its own parking space located within walking distance of the yurt, great for loading and unloading the car. The yurt was well maintained & clean. It had a very rustic feel to it, more rustic than other yurts we have stayed in, it was nice. The outdoor shower was hot, and the bath was incredible! The log burner heats up the yurt perfectly for chillier nights....pay attention regardless of it being a warmer day the yurt really does get chilly over night do not underestimate the temperature! Overall a fantastic, relaxing stay.

Amazing hosts, we loved the stay and will definitely return back, even if just to get the amazing jam. Thanks so much for having us, your property is stunning and you guys are very welcoming

My life is transformed. Never would I ever of believed that a round wooden cabin would fill my heart with so much warmth and gratitude. The optical illusion, the miniature door, the abundance of blankets and fluffy rugs, the walk to the toilet that made me appreciate the Yurt even more; this Yurt is beyond words existing in the farthest galaxy of cosmic madness. Yurt really is love and Yurt really is life. Thank you ✨️

We really enjoyed our stay here - we stayed with our 7 month old. Nicola provided a great travel cot for us. Luckily our baby wasn't crawling yet and was happy to stay in the travel cot to play, it would have been a bit more difficult if he had been on the move - although Nicola was very flexible and said there were other options if we felt the deck outside was unsafe for him. The yurt was beautiful and the hot tub lovely - it had been prepared for us ahead of our arrival so we were able to get in straight away! Breakfast was huge and delicious and you can cook it on the wood burner in your yurt. We would highly recommend staying here and we do hope to go back one day!

A delightful, quirky rural escape with plenty of Somerset’s attractions on your doorstep. A few suggestions for your stay: Embrace being woken at dawn by the birdsong. (Or bring an eye mask and ear plugs). The day’s sun will keep the yurt toastie, but you’ll probably need the fire of the evening. My escapes don’t involve me cooking, but if you want to, you may need a few extras eg forks, chopping board, seasonings and enough imagination to work your magic with a two-ring gas burner and a kettle. There’s plenty of nearby pubs, we enjoyed the Oakhill Inn. There’s a little bit of a walk/dash to the facilities block, I’d suggest a dressing gown and an umbrella. And finally, no need to worry about bad weather; we survived an incredible thunderstorm and lightning and everything was good. In all a lovely alternative stay, we adored the location and the work that’s gone in to making this an environmentally-friendly wildlife spot.

On arrival we were met by Sharon who kindly helped us to the Yurt on the golf buggy. The Yurt was beautiful and exactly how it was listed on the booking. The hot tub was fantastic and the shower room was lovely and warm and immaculate. The whole atmosphere was friendly, the owner Mark was fantastic and always happy to help. We ate at a local pub recommended to us which was delightful. Thank you all for your hospitality and the Christmas tree on checking out. We will definitely stay again.

We had the best time at Tim's place! The location exceeded our expectations, it was so peaceful with loads to do and we even saw the resident deer a couple of times. We had a hammock, swings for the kids, a badminton court, firepit area with loads of wood. But make sure you are up for a steep walk to and from the car park as not suited for people with any knee or ankle issues. The yurt was spectacular too with everything you would expect and the furnishings are beautiful 🐝! Thank you Tim for a lovely stay!

This place was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what me and my family needed to get away from busy life. It was peaceful and idyllic and had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Norman was extremely helpful and kind and although he and his wife were away at the time, he provided us with all the information we needed to enjoy our stay beforehand. Our two young daughters absolutely loved the area and the yurt itself and it felt safe and secure for them to run around and enjoy themselves while we were there. Thank you both for allowing us to stay in your beautiful orchard. We will definitely be back in the future 💗

Wow we think we have found our new favorite place. Truly was a little piece of heaven. Easy to find,short walk from car to yurt. Yurt was just gorgeous and sited so well for some great views. Shower/loo was ideal as well as the great little kitchen area. It was lovely being sat by fire pit at night,listening to owls fly about. The inside of yurt and bed was super cosy. Honestly we did not want to leave.
