Time for a digital detox? Why not go the whole hog and go off grid in luxury with a stay at Crazy Pheasant, 10 minutes’ drive from Mold in Flintshire? Accommodation is in a ‘proper’ Mongolian yurt, and you’ll have the whole place to yourselves, in peaceful rural surroundings with spectacular views of the Black Mountains. The yurt is fully equipped and designed for your exclusive use. Inside there is sumptuous and bohemian furniture, bedding, cookware, crockery, cutlery and tableware. There’s a guitar just in case musical inspiration grabs you, and a telescope for following the stars on clear dark nights. Outside is a walk-in rainfall shower, toilet and basin in a wooden cabin, plus a wood-fired hot tub (just the spot for a sundowner while looking down the valley to Clwydian Range peaks). Enough wood is supplied for your first night on site, with more available for a small charge, along with barbecue charcoal. This is a place to relax and recharge deflated batteries; you can cook over coals, keep toasty warm around the firepit and experience the countryside chorus of birdsong. Chances are you may get to see buzzards, owls, foxes and wild geese too. In season, pick your own fruits from the on-site orchard, and honey is available from the owners’ own hives as well. A couple of things to note please: this site is off grid so there is no electricity. Bring torches, and always pack warm clothing, as things cool down a lot at night, even in summer.

Local attractions

Active types will be in heaven here; you can try white-water rafting on the River Dee near Llangollen (25 minutes’ drive), go mountain biking in Llandegla Forest (20 minutes), or play golf (15 minutes). Hike from the car park to the ruined fortified tower on the peak at Moel Famau (20 minutes), and admire the rugged landscapes in Waun-Y-Llyn Country Park or Nercwys Forest (both 15 minutes). On a trip into Eryri (formerly Snowdonia) National Park (an hour), you can explore a Victorian quarry at the National Slate Museum (an hour and 20 minutes), and dangle from zipwires at Zip World Llechwedd (an hour and 10 minutes) or Zip World Fforest (55 minutes). If that’s not for you, head for the Roman walls and Tudor architecture of Chester (half an hour), and browse its indie shops while you're there. And if you’re longing to paddle in the sea, make for the sandy swathe of Rhyl beach (45 minutes) or the quiet beach at Barkby (40 minutes), while family-friendly Prestatyn beach (45 minutes) is backed by amusement arcades and cafés.

Yurt

Liked Absolutely perfect weekend, in the most beautiful setting with amazing views. The host was very friendly and welcoming, ensuring we wanted for nothing during our stay. The facilities were perfect and spotlessly clean. The Yurt was beautifully decorated. Had the most wonderful weekend, and enjoyed thoroughly, so much we will be booking again in the new year.
