Yet there are many things to do and places to see that will tempt you away from the comfort of your hammock. Try an open canoe trip down the river Teifi or ride one of the mountain bike trails at Brechfa. Hire bikes from us here at West Wales Trails. Some of...

About the Gypsy Cwtch

For the ultimate romantic bolthole it doesn’t get much better than this – your very own gypsy caravan with nothing else except the woodland, wildlife and private eco-cabin, at the top of your own valley where the only hint of civilisation is a chapel in the far distance.
Located on a 40 acre organic farm in west Wales, where the counties of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion meet and only 12 miles from the sea.
The 19th century Romany wagon has been lovingly restored and features a king-size width double bed and range stove. The cosy eco-cabin is completely off-grid thanks to solar water heating and PV panels, with bathroom, living space and cute kitchen area.

What is a ‘Cwtch’?

The Welsh word for an affectionate hug. There's no literal English translation, but its nearest equivalent is "safe place". It's one of the nations's favourite words, symbolising that warm feeling that only closeness to a loved one can create and has now been recognised by the Oxford English Dictionary. 'A cwtch creates a private safe place in a room or in two peoples hearts. Cwtching is strong affection made manifest and can apply to lovers, or a parent and child. It is also possible to give a respected associate a non-romantic cwtch. In that scenario, a cwtch would be a heartfelt hug.' (Urban Dictionary)

Treacle the donkey now has a friend/sister/soulmate called Honey (she came with that name – they were meant to be!) Treacle has been with us since mid January and after a bit of donkey searching we found a friend for her on Tuesday. They have both come from local homes although Treacle would currently win the title for ‘top donkey’ and ‘best coat’. Still, Honey is quickly finding her feet and giving Treacle a bit of what for. They seem to make a perfect pair, long may they live happily ever after.
