I am an artist living and working at the neighbouring property. I take much inspiration for my artwork from the beautiful surroundings. My studio is an old railway carriage and is in our front lawn with amazing views of hills and mountains. My husband is a mechanic and has a garage in Llandovery. We have two teenage children so between us we work as a team to provide a welcoming glampsite. We are lucky enough to be able to live with my mother on her sheep farm. As my childhood home, I would spend a huge amount of time playing and exploring outdoors. There are some lovely routes to walk nearby and spectacular views too. During the summer months we enjoy laying out on the lawn stargazing and spotting shooting stars. We have created a beautiful retreat in which we are pleased to share with our guests in the hope that they can appreciate the stunning environment. We will continue to plant wildflower seeds, perennials and trees to encourage bees, birds and other wildlife.
