An off-grid two-yurt glamping site in the Welsh Berwyn Mountains

There must be something in the water at Greener Glamping. Almost everyone who comes here feels so rejuvenated that they ask to stay an extra night. In fact, it was happening so often that Nathan and Shayne, who run the site, brought in a three-night booking minimum. It’s just enough time to relax into the rhythm of life at this out-of-the way site in the Welsh Berwyn Mountains.

This two-yurt glamping site is a kilometre from the nearest neighbours and completely off grid. These days that’s not an uncommon claim, but here at Greener Glamping it’s especially true as Nathan and Shayne aren’t just providing this lifestyle for their glampers; they are living it too. Any power that’s used is generated renewably and water is fresh from a mountain spring. Despite our earlier claims, there’s actually nothing in it; well nothing but the good stuff anyway. The water here is as pure before the filtering and UV treatment that’s required by the authorities, as it is afterwards. There’s certainly no need to bring a bottle of Evian and, actually, little need for anything else either.

The yurts, one sleeping four, the other up to seven, are kitted out with beds, bedding and log burners. Outside, each has a fire pit and space for outdoor cooking as well as an equipped kitchen cabin, its own composting loo and shower. All you need to bring is food and anything you want by way of entertainment. Forget the iPad and bring a book, leave the stereo and pick up your guitar. It’s that sort of place. Somewhere to calm down, slow down and perhaps stay an extra day.

The site is surprisingly tiny, just half a hilly acre but with only two yurts and miles of surrounding countryside and forest it feels completely uncrowded. Step off site and you’re into the wild with miles of woodland and moors to explore. It’s possible to walk for hours and not meet anyone at all but, if it’s civilisation you’re after, there’s a pub and a shop a mile down the hill. For climbing, cycling and adventure, Snowdonia National Park is 20 minutes’ drive away. South, across the sparsely-populated, heather-clad Berwyn Mountains, is Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, Wales’ highest single-drop fall and, legend has it, the gateway to the Celtic Otherworld. Mysterious standing stones, stories of fairies and giants and spiritual significance are all linked to this part of north Wales. No matter what you believe, there’s no denying that the abundant greenery, wildlife and stars mean there’s a kind of magic in the fresh mountain air. Perhaps even, in the water.

Warm and cosy glamping!
We had a lovely short stay here. The yurt was warm and inviting. The big bed was comfy and the futons were perfect foe the kids. The yurt fire kicks iut a lot of heat! The kitchen had most things required although adding some salt and pepper might be useful for future guests 😊 The hosts were welcoming and more than happy to help. They lent us an os map which was great as we'd forgotten to pack ours! The outdoor space was lovely and relaxing to be in. I appreciated that they have made a gate so we could have the dog off lead in that space and just elt him potter around. We had a nice day out at Lake Bala where we hired a canoe and another day up on Tryfan. The kids and us absolutely loved being there and we were all a bit sad to go home! Thanks for a great little holiday

Perfect glamping
A week in the Big Yurt with the two of us plus a 14, 12, and 7 year old could have felt too cramped, but the set up here is perfect! Very accommodating and warm yurt, electricity and running water feel like luxury compared with others we've stayed at, whilst the ease of access to our own external kitchen, toilet, shower, and a lovely outdoor seating area (covered and open) meant that there was always space to escape each other. Very relaxing views out to the hills whilst sat with a morning coffee - you feel nicely isolated whilst at the yurt (beautiful silence and low light pollution at night for stargazing), yet can actually get to all you need very easily, including LOADS of wild swimming spots which became a real feature of our holiday. The hosts are very friendly and helpful when needed - e.g. a minor electrical problem sorted immediately - but also give you the source you need to appreciate the setting. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat in the beautiful mountains and forest of Wales, this Yurt is the perfect escape! It is the exact right balance of camping and comfort, glamping at its finest. The wood stove inside the yurt along with all of the comfortable beds, cushions and blankets make the inside warm and cozy. The outside area is perfect for meals and relaxing. Everything needed for cooking, grilling and building a fire in the fire pit are provided. If you are lucky enough to get a clear night, the skies are very dark and the stars are incredible, you can even clearly see the milky way. Nathan and Shayne's warm hospitality complete the experience, along with visits from Rosie and Lavender (friendly hens). Enjoy!

From the host
Greener Glamping is a small, perfectly formed and truly peaceful off-grid sustainable glampsite with two gorgeous, warm and cosy yurts. A secluded off grid low impact property surrounded by woodland and hills under clear skies with no light pollution. Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the doorstep and Snowdonia National Park nearby. A place to relax, get back to nature and recharge yourself. Comfort and luxury are not sacrificed in any way with the fully self contained yurts and their fantastic fully equipped kitchen and bathroom facilities lit, powered and heated with renewable/sustainable energy sources (produced on site where possible). Hot showers and running hot and cold water in both kitchen/bathroom facilities. Wood stoves in both the yurts. Nestling deep in Cynwyd Forest high in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales, Greener Glamping is a wonderful place to get away from it all, remember what really matters and who you truly are. You'll be well away from it all but shops, pubs, restaurants and plenty of attractions and activities are within easy reach. Deep peace pervades. Silence…with only the sounds of abundant nature. Breathe fresh clean air and enjoy the gorgeous mountain spring water. unplug ∙ recharge ∙ grow ∙ be
Nearby attractions

Greener Glamping is deep in Cynwyd Forest, in the Berwyn Mountains and above the Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in North Wales. Snowdonia National Park is just 20 minutes away. Between the two, there's all the outdoor activity you could wish for: walking, cycling, climbing, white-water rafting, archery, gorge walking, zip lines, underground trampolines, kayaking, canoeing, surfing, sailing, kite-surfing and so on and so on and so on. The site sits on the North Berwyn Way walking route and Pistyll Rhaeadr, Wales' highest waterfall and a place of great significance in Celtic legend, is just over 10 miles south (though getting there by car takes longer than that might suggest due to the circuitous mountain roads).

Food and drink

The closest pub, The Blue Lion (01490 413656) is in the village of Cynwyd, a mile down the hill. The village also has a little shop which sells any basics you might need. For more than that, try Rhug Organic Farm shop, four miles away, which also has a café or head to Corwen (about the same distance) where there are butchers, bakers, a mini market and an off licence.
