"Stayed in the yurt very cozy and spotless with a comfortable bed, just place for a peace of mind and soul, I was worried about the cold before my visit and brought lots of extra blankets and hot water bottle but the yurt is very well insulated and the wood burner keeps it very warm definitely recommended "
"The friendliness of the owners, the general chat with the other guests, the food, the stunning location and weather. What a wonderful experience. Thank you"
