Excellent space to relax and refresh - comfortable bed and lovely views from the table by the window. Felt sufficiently secluded and safe - important for me as a solo visitor.

Nothing to dislike

Location was fabulous. Out door kitchen was unique and enjoyable

Bed wasn’t that comfortable and could really be Queen or King size - given the space in the yurt. Close proximity to the next Yurt meant sound travelled from them late at night - think occupants thought they were in something more solid that would dim the sound more. We also arrived in a heatwave (not typical British weather) which meant the yurt was too hot to be inside till much later in the day - not a true indication of the place or the owner trying to help with a large fan. In cooler weather it would be perfect. Distance from main road meant some traffic noise throughout the night but to be expected.

The location was good - very close to Llangollen by car. The view across the fields was lovely, nestled into the hillside. The yurt is very pretty with easy parking outside.

Nearly missed the sign to say where it was. The drive up is a challenge, but worth it

It was a fabulous yurt, quiet and peaceful, but very comfortable. It was also private. Kitchen area included kettle, microwave, fridge and hotplate Shower was good, plenty hot water All very clean. Outside chairs either in the sun or shade, very thoughtful. I walked into Llangollen along the canal, allow just under an hour, but lovely walk. I'm really glad I booked it, highly recommend.

Comfortable accommodation close to Llangollen and local attractions. We booked for the novelty of staying in a yurt and enjoyed it. Facilities obviously not 5 star but perfectly adequate for a short stay. Friendly host greeted us on arrival.

Gets quite cold during the night, we forget kindling so we couldn’t use the log burner. I think a little list of what to bring such as logs would have been helpful.

Cosy and beautiful scenery. Great for a little getaway, me and my fiancé had a great time. Great location not far from Wrexham and Llangollen, walkable and accessible by car. The host was lovely and very helpful, and ofc have to mention Sushi and Pickle who gave us a warm welcome

The whole experience was amazing . Very clean and tidy . So close to all amenities. Was greeted with a friendly face and was also left alone to our own devices . This is the first time we have ever stayed in a yurt and can honestly say it won't be our last although i will be bringing more logs next time as the nights in april are pretty cold Thank you thistlebank for the experience

It was really cosy and had everything we needed was very clean and the views were beautiful enjoyed walking around the area along the river and not far to walk to langollen town

The yurt was in a lovely location, very quiet and comfortable . Good to have the electric blanket as it was very cold at night, but the bed was soft and warm, with hot water bottlesalso provided. There was a log burner but we had to provide our own logs etc. Think is could have been set up ready for arrival then you provide after that. We didn't know how much wood etc to take.

Only criticisms I can make are when the yurt's fireplace goes out during the night it was super cold in the morning during my stay as no other heating available. I'm glad it wasn't snowing. The toilet wasn't working properly with a jug of water needed to flush, and the kitchen sink faucet kept coming off spraying water everywhere. Simon is aware of these, so I expect he will get onto repairs quickly. There were two bath mats but no bath towels supplied, which I think was just an oversight and as I was leaving very early I didn't worry about this for one morning. The kitchen dish cloth and brush are really old and grubby, so hopefully these will be regularly replaced.

This place is a great fun alternative to typical airbnb or hotel. The yurt is secure and sturdy. I stayed 1 night in late December, and wind gusts were strong during the night, but I wasn't concerned all. The wood burning enclosed fireplace adds atmosphere and warmth with wood and coke provided for 1 night Kitchen and bathroom are outside yurt, which didn't bother me, and I made use of the bbq and electric hotplate. I could park my car right outside the yurt. The bed was comfy. Simon, the owner manager, was really lovely, responsive and helped me with kindling and paper for the bbq so I could cook a much wanted fillet steak, baked potato and veggies, also offering oil and vinegar if I needed it. All said, I definitely recommend the yurt and enjoyed my stay. Thank you, Simon

Spiders in the bathroom - eek!

Lovely 2 night break in Thistlebank Yurt. Warm welcome. Comfy bed with electric blanket too - fabulous. Great location- 40 minute stroll down the canal to Llangollen. 5-10 minute stroll to nearest pub - Sun Trevor which serves great food.

Nothing to add in this section

The location was excellent and the welcome from Simon was very informative. The accommodation was great and the walk down the canal to the town was very good. Would look to go back and do it all again.

Finding the driveway to the location was poorly detailed and took a phone call to be directed in. The final gravel driveway is extremely steep and could be challenging for some vehicles. We were not greeted by the owners even though they live on site, but we didi eventually get to meet them on the 2nd day. The kitchen is very basic but sufficient if you just want to make tea/coffee or a very simple meal. The shower room was clean and utilitarian. The shower/etc were all good. However, the camping style toilet had a problem with the hand pump making it difficult to flush at all. The mixer tap in the kitchen was faulty causing water to spurt upwards!

The yurt was well appointed inside with everything that one might expect. Comfortable, clean and cozy.

Nothing apart from towels included in the bathroom would have been nice.

Stunning location / lovely and cosy and very comfortable bed. Everything needed for cooking. Nice neat bathroom. Lovely sitting outside in the evening- so peaceful and relaxing.
