The Welsh Retreat is a secluded rural space set in 24 acres of lush land. We are surrounded by fields with 6 acres of bluebell woodlands alongside the small River Bargoed. There are many special areas on our land for barbeques, bonfires, play and space to wander. Indoors, our large studio (32’ x 19’) is perfect for celebrations.

Here at the Welsh Retreat, you are within reach of rivers, mountains and beaches: 30 minutes drive takes you to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coast line with its safe sandy beaches at Poppit Sands, Tresaith, Penbryn and Llangrannog; for activities, try the superb Brechfa Forest mountain bike trails and woodland paths, canoe on the Towy River or wander the open moorland of the nearby Preseli Hills.

The Welsh Retreat sleeps up to 24 people in 3 buildings. The rental prices shown below are for groups of up to 16 occupying the Barn and Cottage. Additional guests may use overflow sleeping accommodation in the Bunkhouse on payment of £10 per person per night on arrival.
