***ES/EHS friendly self-contained holiday and respite accommodation in Mid Wales***

Very private, spacious Guest Suite in shared farmhouse. 1 double and 1 triple bedroom, guest dining/living room, guest kitchen, own entrance and hallway.

Hi, my name is Iris and I have spent the best part of 15 years of my live living with Electro Sensitivity and in later stages Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity.

6 years ago, I found a place in Mid Wales, for me to have a chance to recover and live a reasonably normal life again. I am extremely grateful for that!

It has always been close to my heart to offer help to other people in this predicament. Some people have already stayed with us for some months for respite over the years.

However, as my health has steadily improved living here, I decided to turn my dream of helping many more people into reality! The idea of short term respite and holiday rental was born!

We can sleep 5 people at present and we are working on one more twin room. All the bedrooms have their own private bathrooms.

We are open for all guests who are willing to enjoy our wire-less tech free farm.

When I could not go on holiday with my family anymore because of my own restrictions, I wished I could have found a place like this!

We are very fortunate to live in such a remote and absolutely beautiful spot, with rolling Welsh hills all around us and an abundance of bird and animal life. Yet we are easy to access and close to the Englisch border. I hour from Shrewsbury, 45 min from Oswestry and 20 min from Welshpool.

In addition to accommodation we offer on-site animal activities and leatherwork courses to support wellness, self-improvement and mental health.
***I would be most grateful to anyone who shares our new venture with people who can benefit from this.***

Happy Valentine’s Day all

I read this whilst having struggled through just another super busy week and extra long days at the farm, trying to find ways of making a living with the place I call my home. It has been mega cold all week and all the horses and farm animals needed extra care and looking after.
Had to share ❤️ wouldn't have it any other way!

“Farm work doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t make you anything. It reveals you.
There’s gym strong and then there’s farm strong. They’re mutually exclusive.
The toughest women you’ll ever meet spend their days on a farm.
There are more uses for twine than you can possibly imagine. You can tie up a hole in a slow feeder, fashion a tail strap for a horse’s blanket, mend a broken fence and use it as a belt.
“Well that certainly didn’t go as planned,” is one thing you’ll say quite a bit.
Control is a mere illusion. The thought that you have any, at any given time, is utterly false.
Sometimes sleep is a luxury. So are lunch and dinner. And brushing your hair.
If you’ve never felt your obliques contract, then you’ve never tried stopping an overly full wheelbarrow of horse manure from tipping over sideways. Trust me, you’ll find muscles that you never knew existed on the human skeleton to prevent this from happening.
When one of the animals is ill, you’ll go to heroic lengths to minimize their discomfort.
Their needs come first. In summer heat and coldest winter days. Clean water, clean bed, and plenty of feed. Before you have your first meal, they all eat.
When you lose one of them, even though you know that day is inevitable, you still feel sadness, angst and emotional pain from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. And it’s a heaviness that lingers even though you must regroup and press on.
You’ll cry a lot. But you’ll never live more fully. You’ll remain present no matter what because you must. There is no other option.
You’ll ask for so many miracles and hold out hope until the very last.
You will, at least once, face-plant in the manure pile.
You’ll find yourself saying things like, “we have maybe twenty minutes of daylight left to git ‘er done” whilst gazing up at a nonspecific place in the sky.
You’ll become weirdly obsessive about the weather.
You’ll go out in public wearing filthy clothes and smelling of dirt, sweat and p**p. People will look at you sideways and krinkle their noses but you won’t care.
Your entire day can derail within ten seconds of the rising sun.
You can wash your coveralls. They won’t look any cleaner, but they will smell much nicer.
Farm work is difficult in its simplicity.
You’ll always notice just how beautiful sunrises and sunsets really are.
Should you ever have the opportunity to work on a farm, take the chance! You will never do anything more satisfying in your entire life.
Well, that about sums it up, folks!” - author unknown

Photo of my lovely herd of horses some years ago when I did a stint of playing the accordion to them, just to see what reaction I would get! They all ran over and started grazing near me. Chanel was the most curious and examined everything from the accordion to the music stand and stopped right with me for many songs.

Let's welcome Phoenix to our HHH teaching herd! ❤🐴❤
After loosing our beloved Lady just recently we have been scouring the country for a pony which will do her proud! I am very pleased to say we found the needle in the haystack. A miniature gypsy cob,
💓Phoenix💓is kind, affectionate, confident and loves children. His personality is so big it fills the entire arena. We are so very lucky to have him. A big thank you to Many Tears Animal Rescue in South Wales for taking him in when he needed a place to be safe and taken care of before finding us.
Follow us to find out how Phoenix finds his feet with us here at Humans Horses Harmony, part of Lake Vyrnwy Animals and Crafts.
This is the best start to the New Year we could have hoped for!
Give us a ring on 01938 820407 or visit our website at www.lvacwales.co.uk if you would like to meet him and find out how we can help you achieve a wonderful relationship with horses.
