Eco Retreats

About Eco Retreats

Eco Retreats sets three private Mongolian yurts - Meadow, Ash Valley and River - across fifty acres of woodland within a much larger 1,300-acre organic working farm in the Dyfi Forest, around seven miles from Machynlleth. Reached down a track some twenty-five minutes off the tarred road, the site is deliberately remote and entirely off-grid, with no wifi and no mobile signal in most spots.

Each yurt has its own wood-burning stove, cooking area and private outdoor wood-fired bath, along with a fresh springwater shower and an open-air campfire cooking zone, giving guests genuine self-sufficiency within a comfortable, well-equipped canvas structure. The setting is built around dark, starry night skies, birdsong and the surrounding organic farmland, with walking and mountain biking routes accessible directly from the site.

Eco Retreats suits couples and families who want a proper wilderness escape rather than a conventional glamping holiday, and its combination of comfort and genuine remoteness has made it a distinctive, well-reviewed alternative to Machynlleth's more conventional hotels and B&Bs.
