About Us
Maes Y Bryn Retreat is set in 10 acres of hill meadow & newly-planted woodland, nestled on the very edge of Brechfa forest, in beautiful west Wales...
Maes Y Bryn is home to mum & daughters team Anita, Jen & Karis, & has been co-created by the Hedges family over the last 20 years.
Originally a conventionally farmed field, it was bought with permission to build a home. From a blank canvas 20 years ago, to what Maes Y Bryn Retreat has become today, is testament to a shared desire to create a family home within productive gardens, allowing nature to thrive fully alongside us.
Within this peaceful setting are specially created spaces like "The Hub" which is a fully-equipped space containing toilet, shower & kitchen area where we hold retreat days & workshops. We also have a beautiful wooden cabin called "The Summer House", a cosy off-grid space within the heart of the garden, available for a peaceful summer glamping experience.
​
Within the main house we have the "Buttercup Suite" - a spacious double room with a private en-suite, with its own entrance; perfect accommodation for those who wish to stay with us on retreat.
All intended to be enjoyed by those who want to retreat from the fast pace of our Western lifestyles, to recharge, reconnect with Nature & leave feeling nurtured in mind, body & spirit.
We also offer a variety of events throughout the year, centered around reconnection to ourselves & nature, plus 1-1 Retreat Days & weekends for individuals, couples or small groups.
Nine acres of the land has been allowed to return to its wild roots & over the years (with help from lot's of wonderful people!) has been planted with at least 1500 native trees.
It is a joy to watch as our little hill slowly transforms into the woodland it will one day become & to observe the return of many species of wildlife & plant life, including the beautiful wildflowers that grow in our meadow. It really is a nature-lovers paradise & we are very happy to be able to share the Magic of this place with others!
