Thistlebank yurt

Liked Very sweet set-up with lots of cute details. I was pleasantly surprised to have a little TV, so I didn't have to miss Bake Off! I slept well and enjoyed a hot shower. I also used the kitchen area to make noodles and tea, and it was very well equipped. The owner helped me locate the shortest walk to the site from the Offa's Dyke Path and the yurt really is ideal for anyone hiking the trail.

Disliked My dislikes are all tiny details, that didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the yurt.
1) There was more road noise than I expected, so not quite a rural paradise, although it didn't bother me at all during the night.
2) It would have been helpful to have a couple of hooks for hanging up clothes inside the yurt.
3) No WiFi which wouldn't normally bother me for a night but I was wanting to video call family since I was hiking solo.
4) I didn't know how to use a porta potty - had to YouTube how to flush it! - some instructions would be grand (maybe I missed them?!)

The yurt is quirky and a great alternative to camping!

Thistlebank yurt

Liked What's not to like! The yurt was quirky and cute as well as cosy and welcoming. The kitchen area and bathroom were clean and well equipped. The owners greeted me and then made sure I had all I needed. The scenery was amazing - even in the rain and the walks were fabulous. Added bonus of the nearby pub if needing food or shelter.

Disliked Nothing. The site is accessible and as expected. If I was being really picky I would say the distant road noise is the only pitfall.

Sunbank yurt

Liked Lovely location and views, very relaxing if you don’t mind the distant traffic noise. Great walks close by and only a couple of minutes drive into Llangollen.

Disliked Very cold in January and we were not provided with enough fuel for the logburner which stated was included in the price of booking. (Felt awkward having to ask for more).

Local attractions

Music lovers, if you hit Sunbank Accommodation in early July, you’ll catch Llangollen’s world-famous International Musical Eisteddfod (five minutes’ drive), but whenever you visit there’s plenty to do. Take scenic walks along the River Dee, check out the soaring arches of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct or climb aboard the Llangollen and Corwen Railway (both also five minutes) for a steam ride through lush Denbighshire countryside. If your interest lies in history, hike up to the landmark remains of 13th-century Castell Dinas Brân (35 minutes’ walk), with its fabulous views over Welsh valleys. Alternatively you can explore the photogenic remains of Cistercian Valle Crucis Abbey, or check out the storied Plas Newydd Historic House and Gardens (both 10 minutes’ drive), a half-timbered Tudor-era mansion with eclectic additions from Victorian times. Travelling with family? Spend the day getting to know rhinos, chimps and lions at Chester Zoo (35 minutes), let the kids run off some excess energy on the treetop ropes at BeWILDerwood Cheshire (40 minutes), or try rafting at the National White Water Centre (45 minutes) in Eryri National Park.
