Wonderful Escapes at Wern-y-Cwm Farm

23/07/2024

So. Today we climbed the Skirrid … twice. First time was fab. With 25 lovely children staying here on a musical retreat. Second time not quite as much fun … one of the lovely boys had lost his phone “somewhere on the mountain”. Talk about needle in a haystack - or small rectangle thing on a mountain of bracken. But guess what? We found it!!!! Result. Nothing is as good as success through adversity. Xx

After months of hard work and delayed building works because of the rain…. We are very happy to announce our new natural swimming pool is open! These lucky guests were the first to take a dip on the weekend! The natural swimming pool is included in all future bookings.

Feeling like you need a shot of motivation to get your business to the next stage and time away from the coal face to stop, breathe and THINK (and have lots of fun)?

That’s how I felt after 30 years of building JoJo and I’m now excited to help with our Mindful Business Retreats. The next one is being facilitated by Women’s Business Club, and their hugely empowering team.

Come and join this small, discreet group of business women at Wonderful Escapes which is my luxury, eclectic and creative retreat centre. It’s an easy journey from London, the South West, Midlands or Wales.

For more information about us, take a look at our website, www.wonderfulescapes.co.uk. To book one of the last places on this fabulous little gem of a business retreat, follow the link below. (Our stunning new natural swimming pool, sauna & treatment room will be up and running by then).

This week marks 2 years since my change of career from the creative world as an international fashion retailer to a more Zen life designing our gorgeous properties, interiors, gardens & retreats at Wern-y-Cwm Farm. My new life is equally creative and it’s wonderful being hands on with a small business again.

This new podcast, The Creative Adventure, is a candid chat about my reason for the move, the meaning of success and lots more.

A big thanks to the fabulous Andrew and Greg - it’s a long listen, but when you spend as much time on the M4 as I do, that’s a bonus!

Our yummy home-griddled Welsh cakes melt in the mouth and are dangerously moreish.

Adorable little Black Welsh Lambs on our friendly neighbours’ farm. These are the most pampered sheep we’ve ever known, living happy, healthy lives on an organic farm. It seems a bit wrong to mention it now, but we thoroughly recommend ordering your Sunday joint when you come to stay.

April showers do not stop the fun at the farm ☔️ pull on the wellies and pop on the coat, spring adventures awaits!

Daffodils and Spring flowers popping up all over the gardens to brighten your stay.

14/03/2024

We are so excited that the colour is coming back into the gardens finally. But our bright interiors keep us cheerful all winter long.

Our home grown and made Rhubarb & Marmalade Cake is mouth wateringly scrumptious! We serve it with strong coffee at our retreats and conferences (or herb tea for the health queens) or it makes a fab pudding warmed with crème fraiche on a family holiday. Take a look at the menu on our website to order for your stay.

The Captain’s bedroom in the Cider House is super comfy with its own bath for a good soak.

I’m so excited … Spring really is coming soon! Cant wait to hear the happy buzzing of the gorgeous🐝 🐝 🐝 again.

18/02/2024

We like to leave some delicious home grown apple juice for our guests. I like mine diluted with fizzy water. You might also find some Crab Apple jelly, Rhubarb jam, fruit or veg. If we have produce to spare we are happy to share. You may also pick your own herbs and fruit in season.

15/02/2024

Our latest skip treasure doing her yoga in the stunning spring ☀️ today. She may be a little crazy but so are we. ;-) We love her, especially as she’d been thrown out. One man’s rubbish = one woman’s treasure!

15/02/2024

Quirky decor and plenty of space to play games and chat round the fire if the weather isn’t on your side.

14/02/2024

Romantic break? With seven wood burning stoves across the properties you will never be far from a gorgeous real fire burning the fallen trees off the farm.

13/02/2024

What a great treat to arrive for your stay with the fridge fully stocked with delicious meals. Order in advance from our farm kitchen and give the cook a break!

You wont find sludgy colours here! Just like our fields full of wildflowers, our decor is vibrant.

There is a Silver Lining to every cloud (and winter gale). Our cups are always half full up here on the Skirrid and after a wellness retreat we hope yours will be too. This is the Silver Lining room in the Dairy, one of our 16 comfy, eclectically designed bedrooms.
