We had the best experience ever, our yurt experience was amazing and hospitality was the best we have ever had. Thank you for such an amazing stay. Keep up the amazing hospitality.

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hidden gem, and I can't stop raving about it! Every detail was meticulously thought out, making for an incredibly accommodating experience. The hosts, especially Michelle, were amazing, and we left feeling like we had made lifelong friends. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The yurts were cozy and inviting, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The kitchen and toilet facilities were top-notch, earning a solid 10/10 in my book. Having traveled extensively, I can confidently say that this place has earned a spot among my favorite destinations. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it's the perfect retreat for anyone looking to escape and recharge."

The Secret Yurts were easy to get to, access is a small walk of about 5 minutes from the car park. They have everything you could need, Tracey was very friendly and helpful but we were left in peace for our visit which was perfect. The hot tub, although wood fired, was very hot, we had to take the lid off and leave it for an hour so it was cool enough to get in but then it was lovely. Very peaceful and relaxing, great that there are only 3 yurts and they are spaced out well enough to feel private.

We loved every minute of it , we stayed in the Roman yurt and it was beautiful. It’s definitely worth a trip - hopefully we will return

The Secret Yurts... what a beautiful place... me and my partner spent 4 nights in the Roman Yurt (thank you Tracy and Terry for the upgrade was a lovely surprise 😮) our first night was so relaxing and was made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived... I must admit it was a little chilly in the mornings but you were soon up and out on our adventures... a Big Big place is to have a drive to the waterfall it's the highest in Wales.... Bit of a steep walk but the views are definitely worth the effort ... there is only one little negative.. we had the local taxi driver to take us to the local pub .. (8 min) drive .. he charged £25 return.. did think that was a little expensive 🤔... can't wait to return again soon ...

My partner and I decided to book a weekend away at The Secret Yurts (Birch yurt) in November 2021 and what a fantastic stay it was! We were both blown away by the yurt itself - the fire was already lit, hot tub on and candles burning upon our arrival, and the facilities were excellent - each yurt has it's own private, heated shower room and toilet, and also a kitchen area. Not to mention the lovely, warm welcome from our hosts and all of their tips and recommendations for our time there. The yurt and facilities were super clean and private, and we had everything we needed for our stay. The only thing I would recommend is bringing warm clothes as the temperature can drop after the fire burns out.
The location was also brilliant, and we did a lot of exploring around Wales during our trip - loads of fresh air and beautiful walks. It's the perfect weekend away if you're looking for an experience that's a bit different, and also allows you to completely switch off from your busy day-to-day life and enjoy some relaxation.
We'll definitely be back!

What a wonderful weekend away! we stayed in the Rowan yurt and it was beautifully decorated and cosy. The facilities were great too, clean and modern and the hot tub was wonderful! Highly recommended this place to anyone after a relaxing or romantic weekend away.

We spent two nights at in the Oak Yurt and we had a wonderful time. The yurt was very clean and comfortable and the hot tub was kept at a lovely temperature. The little kitchenette was well equipped but washing up was a bit of an issue so we used the bathroom. The bathroom is only a few metres away. There’s plenty to do around there. We visited the lake and the waterfall. Just make sure you take some changes if you visit the waterfall for the toilet! We went to the three drops private dining and it was fantastic. We also booked Elwynn to take us and pick us up and he was great. Overall well worth a visit. If I was being really really picky I’d say some fairy lights outside would be nice for when you are in the hot tub once it gets dark.

We stayed in the Oak Yurt and it was beautifully presented and clean. The little kitchenette was right next to the yurt which was easily accessible. The hot tub was fantastic and was lit up from 1pmish. Ice blocks and logs/kindling were provided and refilled everyday and Tracey and Terry were lovely hosts.
We had issues with alot of flies in our kitchenette and the Yurt so they provided fly tape for us in our kitchenette. The bbq was a decent size and we cooked on it every night. There's a Tescos about 10mins drive away to go and get any bits you might need. Washing up the utensils and plates/pots was a bit tricky without hot water so we used the bathroom sink instead. The bathroom/wet room shower was clean and lovely and the rain shower always had hot water. This was really close to the Oak Yurt.
There are lots to do the area and we went to Lake Vyrnwy and did a canoe ride which was fun (£20 for 1hr). We fully recommend booking a reservation at Just3Drops restaurant as this was a fantastic private dining experience and the food was incredible.
Overall we had an amazing 4 night stay at the Secret Yurts and would definitely go back again and recommend to others.

Me and my partner stayed at The Secret Yurts for my birthday. The rural location paired with the weather, made for a fantastic few days. The yurt is super cute, with a very comfy bed. The kitchenette was very handy for the couple of times we cooked. The wood-fired hot tub was amazing, where we spent most of our stay. One little request would be a net, which would be a handy addition to skim any bits on top of the water. The separate toilet facilities were great and spotlessly clean. Tracey and Terry were both great hosts and we hope to come back soon.

I surprised my partner with a two night stay in The Rowan yurt. The stay was everything we asked for and more. The yurt itself is set out beautifully with a cosy log fire that kept up warm throughout our stay. We awoke to the sound of farm animals which made it feel that more “off grid”. Originally we booked the Birch yurt, after discovering the Rowan was available, Tracey and Terry kindly let us upgrade so we have an electric hot tub which was AMAZING!
Both Tracey and Terry were excellent hosts and have really put the tiny details in each yurt to make it feel like a home away from home. We took Their recommendations on where to explore and to have dinner which were both exceptional.
We cannot wait to return to The Secret Yurts, it really was a trip to remember.

Stayed in the oak Yurt, it literally had everything we could have asked for. Cosy, cute, and impressive. The facilities are excellent and have everything you could need for a little break away. The log fire is definitely powerful and keeps the heat well. Tracey and Terry were so welcoming and great hosts. The area is beautiful and we explored local attractions such as Pistyll Rhayader and Powis Castle, both very impressive. Definitley recommended and would love to come back at some point.

Took a three day break to escape the chaos & we couldn’t have asked for anything more. It’s so unique! The yurts (we stayed in Rowan) are sublime. Cosy (But large!), cute & the log burner makes it just perfect. Each Yurt is surrounded by trees with its own veranda which is private & secluded. We BBQ’d every morning & night! The toilets are a ten second walk and each yurt has its own beautifully fitted bathroom. We also had sole use of the kitchen (when you hire Rowan this is included) and super hot-tub. All adding to the perfection. It’s also about a 50 min walk to a nearby village with a couple of pubs for dinner/beer. We also explored a nearby lake and waterfall. If we could have stayed a month we would have done! Just perfect! Already tried to book but it’s booked up way in advance so get it done!

We stayed in the Rowan yurt over the last bank holiday weekend in August and loved every minute. Tracey and Terry know how to do glamping properly, everything was perfect. The yurt was so cosy and romantic, it really is a special place to stay and have a break from busy life. The hot tub which is designated to guests in the Rowan yurt was huge and super relaxing. We were really impressed at the facilities in the kitchen and bathroom, everything was well equipped. The location is also beautiful, we had two long walks around the surrounding countryside with amazing views. I really hope we have the opportunity to stay here again in future

Me and my partner booked here for her birthday and loved every second of it. Cosy little fire and a relaxing hot tub. Also very friendly staff. We’re already looking to book it again next year! Very pleasant experience from start to finish.

This place is just what the Doctor ordered. Life these days is so fast paced and for the sake of your sanity you have to make that conscious effort to spend sometime in the slow lane and let the world fly by. This is a great place to do just that.
My Wife and I palmed the kids off and spent an amazing weekend at the Secret Yurts in May. We stayed in the Birch Yurt with the private wood fired H Ho Hot Tub (that's not a typo, it does get efficiently Hot) and for us this really made it feel intimate.
I don't want to say too much else (leave some surprises) other than don't hesitate if you are thinking about it. Tracey and Terry are fantastic hosts who went above and beyond for us.
If we can con someone to have the kids again then we will definitely be going back. Its a beautiful part of the country and fully recommend a visit to Lake Vrynwy.

We have the most perfect bank holiday weekend here. The Yurt is stunning. The Yurt itself is beautiful. With all the things we needed even dressing gowns! The fire was the most perfect feature and kept us warm all night too.
Its a lovely location surrounded by beautiful countryside. The kitchen and bathroom was everything we needed, modern and clean. I couldn't have asked for anything more. There was loads of information on places to go and things to do.
We didn't want to be totally out of things with our phones but not being able to charge them in the actual Yurt made us be a bit more present. We found we charged then when we went for a dip in the really lovely hot tub.
We packed our days full and spent the evenings chilling in the yurt or hot tub.
I cannot recommend this place enough.
It is pricey. And that's the only reason I wouldn't be able to rush back. But yeh, for sure recommend!

What a fantastic stay for my husband's 30th birthday! Everything exceeded expectations, was so beautifully set and all the little touches made is extra special. A perfect romantic get away! We stayed in the Birch Yurt where we had our own BBQ and a wood fire hot tub - a great way to unwind after our days activities. Tracey and Terry couldn't do more for us - Thank you so much!
We highly recommend a stay at the Secret Yurts and hopefully will return in the near future! Certainly a weekend never to forget!!!!

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Secret Yurts for a weekend recently and had the most relaxing, lovely time there. Our yurt was amazing - beautifully decorated and cosy, with the comfiest bed ever! The bathroom and kitchen facilities were brilliant, and the hot tub was great. The yurts felt very secluded and were so peaceful, and the owners, Tracey and Terry, could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The perfect way to unwind for a weekend out of the city. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing, I've not stayed in a Yurt before, and I will definitely be doing it again! Spent the weekend in Birch Yurt, which has it's own hot tub. Not only that, each of the Yurts has their own private bathroom nearby, which were of higher quality than any hotel I've ever stayed in. It was exciting to be able to light our own fire, and feel like we were spending a weekend alone in the countryside. A lot of thought and care has been put into the Yurts, and as you arrive you're met by something a little big magical.

We stayed for 2 nights on the weekend of the 16th March 2018, we were late in due to Friday traffic but were met with a warm and friendly welcome by torchlight. We were give an informal tour of the facilities and shown to our Yurt pre heated with the stove already alight :) we got straight into the hot tub followed by sauna and a few drinks.
We spent the weekend travelling around southern snowdonia and popped into powis castle.
The second night we hot tubbed in - 4 in heavy snow. We woke to 8 inches of snow and a tricky drive home :) it was wintertastic.
We had an awesome time. The facilities were amazing, nice touch with the private bathrooms!
we were left too it completely . The owners were there incase we needed anything.
No complaints, we cant wait to come back!
