We loved it!

The barn and the garden are so lovely - it was so relaxing and inspiring - helping us to get a lot of work done!

Thanks for being kind and always quick to help.

Best wishes!

We absolutely loved our stay in the barn. It was a perfect get away from our usual busy schedules. The barn has everything you need, with lots of cosy and homely touches. The garden is tranquil too.

Drifting off to sleep with a full moon framed by the leaded window above the bed, waking up to beautiful blue skies and ponies munching in the next field. Nature thriving, hot showers and lovely loos. What a perfect place Onnen is!

Thank you Adam & Lou - so much work has clearly gone into the site and the experience of guests - it’s perfect - I’ll definitely be back!

Thank you for your hospitality!

Wales is such a breath takingand picturesque country: lavish green sea and hills - simply beautiful. For other future guests of this cosy house, Skomer island, Three Cliffs Bay and Elan Valley (with bikes) are a must.

Thank you!

We loved staying in Hafan!

The view is so beautiful and last night my mum and dad saw a deer!

I stayed in Onnen for an idyllic night time experience and morning waking looking out at the trees. The only bad thing was that I was alone - this little cabin is a perfect place for two to cuddle up!

Such a wonderful quiet and relaxing space and so much thought gone into the accommodation, we had a lovely time. Recommend the independent shops in Llandeilo. Visit to Newton House Dinefwr much enjoyed and if the weather is good definitely the walk up to Carreg Cennen castle - what views!

Llandovery also interesting but forget Carmarthen - depressing! Aberglasney Gardens well worth a visit.

The garden birds enjoyed the fat balls, thank you!

We are beyond grateful for all your support over the weekend - both for the use of the utterly glorious land and buildings that we all got to know and love, and also for your support and your willingness to assist when needed. We deeply appreciate your communication leading up to the event - you were always available to help us with any questions, and you were willing to do everything you could to help - including putting out ribbons to help people find their way, clearing fallen trees, and more! During the weekend itself, Lou’s talk at the start and the amazing fire on Saturday night really added to the weekend. You made the experience, from start to finish, warm, personal, easy.

We loved that there are so many different areas, each with their own magic. We felt so supported by the land and its generous beauty.

Thank you also for putting us in touch with Yeshe - her food was wonderful and we loved her company too.

Amongst what our participants valued the most:

‘The beautiful and peaceful location. It was magical. I loved the outdoor nature of the spaces, including the buildings.’

‘The stunning location tucked away. The sessions on the land.’

‘The setting itself. I loved the cabin.’

‘The venue was perfect and lended itself to really seeing nature in different formats - I loved the trekking through mud, through long grass and bracken, the stream and plunge - a really varied environment.’

Thank you!

We loved our brief stay in Onnen shepherds hut.

As the evening was damp we lit the log burner and the hut was really toasty in no time.

Thanks for a great stay!

We had a wonderful weekend, thank you so much for a lovely time, very hospitable!

Very tasty honey, beautiful surroundings and a relaxing time we all needed.

Dear Adam & Lou, thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay at ‘Under Starry Skies’. We came here to escape the busyness of everyday life and your place was exactly what we needed - peaceful, beautiful and so thoughfully put together. We left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to coming back some day.

Diolch!

What a great place! It was a wonderful base to explore the area - beautiful drives and views. Thanks Adam for the recommendation of Lolfa cafe in Llandeilo which we loved. An easy drive to the Four waterfalls Trail makes for a wonderful day out.

We hope to be back again as it’s a wonderfully peaceful place.

Loved waking up to the view!

Beautiful setting and the birdsong was a soothing soundtrack, just what we needed.

Thank you for a peaceful and relaxing stay x

A family birthday in nature!

Thanks for an excellent stay. The wagon is delightful - cosy and comfortable with everything we needed and beyond lovely to wake up immersed in nature.

We drifted off to sleep with owls hooting in the distance and woke up to a stunning dawn chorus from songbirds.

We would absolutely love to stay again and hope to be back soon with more of the family.

Massive thank you!

Llwynbwch is absolutely the most wonderful place for a small retreat, surrounded by nature. 

This is the second year we have held our gathering here and are hoping to return to Under Starry Skies, to make the most of the land and the buildings and to enjoy Yeshe’s wonderful food.

One of its less obvious joys is that it's not hyper organised - it's not a collection of samey pods or yurts, it feels organic and homely. There's a good variety of gathering spaces too, with Llwynbwch Barn and Ty Mawr and also the barn garden, the deck, the firepit…

We were a group of 14 over our weekend, staying in the various accommodations and a few in campervans and tents in the top field - we were a snug fit on Ty Mawr’s decking for our morning gathering. We’ll be back!

What a privilege to be the first person to sleep in Onnen! It has been a magical experience. Every part of the wagon is beautiful-such artistry and creativity. Very comfortable bed. I love the fairy lights, the dimmable reading lights, the solid wooden pull-out table and the wooden handle on the kettle. All so cosy and welcoming, nourishing. May this be the start of a lovely jouney for Onnen welcoming many visitors. May they find peace and beauty as I have. Thank you

A wonderful week looking at the wildlife of West Wales. Highlights this year were: lots of Marsh Fritillary butterflies here at Llwynbwch, Painted Lady butterflies Mwnt and Green Hairstreak butterflies at Tregaron Bog. Several beautiful Demoiselle dragonfiles at Cwm Brefi, Tregaron Bog and the Gold mine.

Here in the garden we saw Redstarts, Pied Flycatchers and Wood Warblers.

All in all, a very good week with kind weather all set in the stunning countryside of West Wales. Best wishes Lou & Adam!

We loved our stay in Hafan!

The cabin and Ty Mawr are both beautiful, all the things we needed for a lovely stay. Didn’t see the ponies but had a little catto visit whilst eating dinner.

Thank you for having us and good luck with the new cabin and other projects. PS Firelighter challenge completed!

We had such a lovely time in this wonderful barn, so spacious yet so cosy. Thank you for being great hosts. Wales is so stunning we shall certainly return!
