Who else enjoyed that epic thunderstorm last night? 🙋♂️⛈
A question we get asked sometimes is – “Does a metal roof mean it’s noisy inside the hut when it rains?”
Thankfully, the answer to that question is, no! 😁
The roof on Ynys Hut is steeply curved which means the raindrops do not clatter against the galvanised steel 💦 In addition, the roof is thoroughly insulated so what you do hear is a rather lovely soft and soothing sound that makes you feel safe and cosy ☺️
We think glamping in a thunderstorm is fun, do you agree?
