Although weather was bad we had a really great time in our tipi. The setting is absolutely stunning and the tipi's are brilliantly stocked with everything you would need. Total seclusion and relaxation.

A wonderful experience, the words that best sum up the chilled break we had. From a warm welcome after a long journey, to a walk by the stream up a hill past some sheep to our tipi, to reiki, to wood chopping, fire making and meditation so much done yet chilled. I can wait to go back to the calm... More

I booked the trip as a Christmas/ 1st wedding anniversary gift for my husband and it is one of the best things we have done! The location is truly idyllic and being in the forest tipi we didn't have to see anyone else unless we looked down to them! They have the perfect mix of comfort and outdoor experience- we... More

We stayed 2 nights with EcoRetreats and didn't want to leave. We were in a tipi and built fires in our chimnea morning and evening. We were staying at the beginning of April and there was still a bit of snow around but it was exceedingly cosy with the fire roaring. The thought that has been put into the place... More

My partner booked this holiday last minute for a weekend away from our busy work life. The location is idyllic and truly absolutely stunning! It's a long way from the main road down a forestry road. Each Tipi seems to look very private. You wouldn't be able to tell anyone else is around! We stayed in Waterfall tipi and would... More

We were fortunate to win a 2 night stay at Eco Retreats and we are now trying to work out when we can return. We had been past their turning numerous times over the years going to other places and not realised what we were missing. You are grateful for their signs as you drive through the forest and are...

My husbands family bought us this trip for our joint 40th and it was a great present! After a long winding road (excuse the pun) half way up a welsh mountain and a short walk to our tipi, it was very clear what a stunning place we were in. It was breath taking! The Tipi itself was extremely cosy and... More

The perfect Eco Tipi Retreat. We had a wonderful time enjoying the natural environment, the fresh air and wonderful water, reiki and meditation. The tipi’s are beautiful and the surroundings majestic. After driving though miles of beautiful forest we loved sharing the farmland with the sheep and their four week old lambs. Our tipi everything we needed even though we... More

My husband grumbled for the whole week before we arrived here. 'Why have you booked it? (KGB booking) 'It will be a disaster.' 'It's miles from anywhere.' And then we arrived and his jaw dropped. The luxury of space - there were only 4 or 5 tipis spread so far a part that you cannot see another one when you... More

We stayed in the yurt in April 2012. It was a fantastic break from the manic life we all seem to lead these days. We slept for 13 hours the first night, no mobile phone reception (wonderful) This was our anniversary break so we went out for meals on the Friday and Saturday evening, no one seemed to mind that...
