Stables Wellbeing

Fantastic experience: Absolutely gorgeous weekend. Sometimes you don't know what to expect from a wellbeing weekend but I'm so so happy with the whole experience at Stables. Super, super comfy beds (!) so a great night's sleep, lovely classes, lots of variety, really yummy healthy food and beautiful surroundings. Whether you're coming in a group or solo you'll be well taken care of!

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere that was created was amazing, relaxed yet full of a range of activities. Hosts were so welcoming, they had thought about everything and were also happy to provide anything additional if it was needed ( which it wasn't). Warm, comfortable, super clean rooms. Amazing food, great location, sauna was an added bonus. I just wish I could have stayed even longer to make even more of the locality.

Fantastic experience: Wow, what an amazing place. From the hosts, to the space they have set up, and the activities. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone ❤️

Fantastic experience: We went to Stables Wellbeing for a Restorative Retreat. The team were friendly and really looked after us. The food was excellent and the accommodation was clean and very comfortable. The daily activities allowed us to get away from the daily grind and truly relax. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing setting for a Restorative Retreat. Stunning location, and lovely accommodation. From sauna to country walks, soundbaths to yoga, hearty, home cooked meals to massage - this was an opportunity to relax and focus on yourself. Thoroughly recommended and will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic experience: A beautiful weekend retreat at The Stables Wellbeing with my 18 year old Daughter. Peaceful location, high-quality treatments and accommodation. Karen stole the show with her home made food - absolutely delicious. The Roundhouse was a real highlight, and everything was so well organised thanks to Phil, Veronica, and Gemma. We’d love to return one day. Truly restorative and highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have just returned from the Energise retreat, the team at Stables Wellbeing are fantastic. The warm welcome, the delicious wholesome home cooked food, comfortable beds, amazing walks from the doorstep and activities which were tailed to individuals all contributed to a amazing weekend. Tom – Wim Hoff Instructor was just great, really motivating, encouraging and knowledgeable. We all completed the challenge and it was a real highlight of my trip and something I would definitely do again (never thought I’d say that!) Gemma – Yoga, Pilates and all round holistic extraordinaire – I really enjoyed the sessions, Gemma made sure that everything was adaptable with plenty of options. My body definitely felt the benefit of the stretches! Phil & Veronica – such warm friendly, kind people. I felt very much looked after and comfortable in their company, it’s a very relaxed and informal place with everything that you could need or want during your stay. The guided walk with the dogs on Sunday morning was so good, I loved every minute of that walk… the views were just amazing! Karen (Chef extraordinaire) – The food was brilliant and nope I didn’t go hungry! The meals were all super tasty, the desserts, and snacks delicious and again Karen was so warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I’d absolutely recommend this place, thank you guys for a weekend to remember.

Fantastic experience: Incredible retreat from start to finish! The most beautiful setting and food was incredible - the soundbath was my highlight. The accommodation was modern and the hospitality by Philip, Veronica and Gemma was top class! Can’t wait to go back again

Fantastic experience: We had a magical weekend at the Stables Wellbeing retreat. It was the perfect place to do my first Wim Hoff ice bath experience! It’s a family run business and Phil, Veronica and Gemma are really lovely hosts. The food is amazing and plentiful! Thankyou to Karen the cook We enjoyed a mix of yoga, Pilates, Quigong and breath work. Not to mention some great hikes with a breathtaking view of the castle Carreg Cennen. Can’t wait to return again soon. Thankyou for having us !

Fantastic experience: Fantastic weekend spent with Phil Veronica and Gemma I felt like part of the family they couldn’t do anymore to make you feel at ease Gemma was a great teacher and full of energy and knowledge and the food that Karen prepared for us all was excellent can’t wait to come back would totally recommend

Fantastic experience: Wow, wow and wow! I’ve just come back from the Wim Hof and Yoga retreat and I totally recommend the people and the venue. Thank you Phil, Veronica, Karen and Tom for making me feel totally at home and the weekend ticked every box that I had.

Fantastic experience: First time I've ever done a retreat and I was nervous doing this alone. But what an absolute beautiful weekend away. The stay exceeded my expectations and I left feeling rejuvenated and left with a new lease of life. The hosts, Phil and Veronica, were so welcoming and would go above and beyond to make your stay an unforgettable one. The food was made with love and freshly sourced produce. It was incredibly tasty, I couldn't help but have seconds. I had very little expectations of myself, I went with the mindset of doing 1/2 classes and not even attempting the ice bath because of being overweight and having slipped discs. But with the help of Gemma & Tom, I completed every class, ice bath & 4.5 mile hike and I'm still buzzing a week on for accomplishing this, however at the same time there was no pressure to attend any of the activities. This retreat really is for all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities, so don't let your self-confidence stop you from booking on. The retreat included yoga, pilates, breathwork (using hof method), unbelievable walks and more. I shared a room with one lady and it added to my experience and had no issues with affecting my sleep (other than late night chopsing together) All the people that booked on were women and I couldn't have shared my experience with a better bunch, everyone was so supportive. The venue was set in the breathtaking countryside and allowed your sole to breathe. I highly recommend this retreat as it completely helped me change my mindset and take away new habits for my everyday life. I can't wait to book another retreat at the Stables. Thank you for opening up my mindset, I'm forever grateful ✨️

Fantastic experience: My energising yoga retreat was absolutely wonderful – a perfectly crafted weekend of activities. Gemma’s yoga and yoga fusion sessions felt strengthening and challenging which was exactly what I wanted while also very relaxing which was exactly what I needed. Phil’s guided walks were a definite highlight with gorgeous views of the countryside and Carreg Cennen Castle from all different directions. The SUP session was such pure fun! Great instructor and ideal calm reservoir setting. The Stables facilities are amazingly lovely and so comfortable and the chef treated us to delicious veggie meals and snacks. Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to write this review whilst my trip was fresh in my mind - I often leave somewhere and always forget to review my experience!! However this time / I really wanted to share the fabulous experience with all that may be looking to book a retreat here ! Firstly I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place !! It was immaculate and very inviting ! With an extra bonus - of towels and a towel warmer being provided ! Alittle thing - but really does make a big difference. I was sharing a room with some other ladies - but felt I had lots of personal space / and even my own cupboard space to actually unpack - and not stay - living out of my case. (Which I often do) The retreat itself was very well planned and gave each person their own relaxation time too. Perfect itinerary! I enjoyed every activity and the instructors/owners were extra friendly and approachable. Thank you all !! It was my first time doing yoga - and I was alittle apprehensive- but Gemma planned the experience so that all would feel comfortable whether you were highly experienced- or like me - a beginner!! Everyone enjoyed the sessions -as I could see everyone buzzing after them and sharing their experience. Now ! The food !! Amazing plant based food ! I could tell straight away that the menu had been planned meticulously. We had so much choice and variety - there was no way we were going away hungry. Even down to little healthy snacks to bring with us to our activities (great touch!) I loved the area - the walks and the scenery / but the stables also have their own little plot of land - which walking around brought great joy even without leaving the premises. I would highly recommend the stables - and hopefully will soon return for another one of their many different retreats. Carry on the great work guys

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, the best retreat I’ve been on. The right mixture of being active and having treatments. A lovely surprise was visiting the round house on Saturday night after dinner where we had a singalong and Rory ( on of the other guests) read out some poetry he had written. All of the above plus the excellent food made for a wonderful weekend- thank you!

Fantastic experience: Simply amazing! The staff were super friendly yet not in your face allowing time for yourself. The food was unreal, healthy, delicious, nutritional and filling... Many times I had seconds Gemmas classes were great! laid back catering to all levels with easier positions given for every necessary move allowing everyone to flow comfortably and in unison. The Hikes ♥️ wow wow wow ❗ Stunning Again great two guides. So if you are a fast or slow pace walker you are covered. I was also terrified of sharing rooms but I'm Glad I did! The set-up was nice and comfortable and did not feel crowed. Very happy customer ♥️ Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience hosting my first retreat at Stables Wellbeing. The communication from Phil was spot-on, from booking all the way to the day before the retreat started. Phil and Veronica made the experience very smooth, and were present to help keep things running on time without being conspicuous. The group loved the walk led by Phil and they really appreciated having a private venue amongst nature with lots of areas to spread out and enjoy. I would definitely return as the peace and quiet amongst nature gives a wonderful setting for a retreat along with nutritious, plentiful food and great communication from the hosts.

Fantastic experience: The 3 day energise retreat, was absolutely fantastic. Amazing food, and a great variety of energising sessions suitable for all. A brilliant reboot to the system, with a strangely lasting effect. Definitely one to return to.

Fantastic experience: Lovely restful retreat. Great food and accommodation.

Fantastic experience: Amazing break, can highly recommend it. Great hosts, wellness & 5* food

Fantastic experience: Warm, welcoming atmosphere! Brilliant, knowledgeable teacher who easily adapts to meet all abilities! Have been going for about two years and would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I have been on 3 retreats now, and I can't wait to get back for my 4th. Phil, Veronica and Gemma were wonderful hosts, welcoming and approachable. The venue compliments a yoga based retreat, the food is exceptional and there are plenty of walks from the door. Sharing a dorm was fun. The yoga classes and activities were geared so that everyone, regardless of their experience, could get something from them. After every retreat I have felt refreshed and revitalised and buoyed up to face the eorld again. See you soon

Fantastic experience: I benefit enormously from my weekly Pilates and Yoga classes and hope to continue to do so for some years to come! I have also attended day retreats and pop up classes whenever possible. These are always very professionally run and I come from the Stables feeling as if I have achieved the set objectives, whilst being nurtured and cared for. In Gemma I have found a professional and very knowledgeable teacher who is encouraging, always supportive and mindful of my holistic wellbeing, a wonderful and caring person. The setting of the Stables in such beautiful country side and the excellent nourishing fresh food, coupled with Gemma’s expertise all adds to a positive overall experience of any class or retreat run by Gemma. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Stables to anyone interested in holistic wellbeing practices.

Fantastic experience: We went to visit this wonderful space as we are holding our first retreat here - and we couldnt wish or think for a more perfect place! It is stunning , beautiful and everything you need for the perfect quiet getaway :) will defo be back! Xx

Fantastic experience: Love my sessions with Gemma at Stables Wellbeing, a beautiful peaceful retreat perfect for the range of classes she expertly provides. I cant recommend both highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Attended my first ever yoga day retreat recently and had the most wonderful, relaxing day. Set in such a beautiful, tranquil place, with everyone at the centre being so friendly and welcoming and especially Gemma, our yoga teacher who shared so much of her knowledge and kindness with us on the day, I left feeling very uplifted.

Fantastic experience: Having recently moved to Wales I’m delighted to have found Stables Well-being to continue with Yoga and Pilates. The venue is beautifully situated and immaculately presented so you immediately feel peaceful and soothed. Gemma is an inspirational instructor who understands the balance in life and who constantly reaffirms the positives in life. She is always finding new ways to refresh her classes and has established regular day retreats. I went on a recent yoga day and came away feeling utterly wonderful! I wholeheartedly recommend Stables and Gemma to anyone.

Fantastic experience: After years of considering yoga but never finding one that seemed right for me, I feel really lucky to have come across Gemma on social media. The only way I can describe her classes is like finding something that was always missing. Her classes are a perfect mix of yoga practices and have helped my adhd/wellbeing more in the last few weeks than that of a long time of trying various things to help. Not only is it a beautiful space: Gemma has created a friendly, inclusive and welcoming class and group of people to share it with.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful family run retreat in West Wales. Yoga, Pilates, Mountain hikes, meditation in the Roundhouse, massages, amazing home grown food and lovely company. Gemma is an absolute inspiration and so giving and generous. I have also made some lovely new yogi friends.Will keep coming back for morexxx

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing experience at Stable Wellbeing. It was great to see a family working so well together to provide a varied programme. The food was amazing; so yummy. Walking in the fabulous surrounding countryside was a joy. Above all it’s people who matter; Phil, Veronica and Gemma all contributed to my state of wellbeing over the weekend. I enjoyed my morning chats with Veronica and walks with Phil. Gemma led yoga, Pilates and Tai chi. She is an excellent teacher and flexible to the needs of each group member. I really feel Gemma’s passion for wellbeing and appreciate her wisdom to help me think about life changes I might choose to make. Thanks for a great few days and the opportunity to have a Shiatsu treatment too.

Fantastic experience: Just what the doctor ordered! The retreat is the perfect combination of movement, healthy food and mindful meditation. It’s as structured or as laid back as you want it to be. The hosts are very accommodating and down to earth. I’d definitely recommend and plan to go again.

Fantastic experience: I’ve attended a few retreats at the Stables from a number of day sessions to residential ones and I plan to continue to attend. I can not recommend this place enough!! From possibly the best sleep I’ve ever had in the comfiest beds to some of the tastiest, nutritious food and not forgetting every single member of staff (who genuinely feel like friends/family when you leave). Each retreat has held something different as the people who attend also influence how they go but I can hand on heart say I’ve met some of the loveliest, like minded people. Gemma and the team are just amazing. Gemma is so knowledgable but never forceful or shoving information at you. She has always got alternatives available so effortlessly switches to provide what the retreat needs, ensuring that everyone gets the best from their time there. Even the dogs provide a wonderful welcome That’s not even mentioning the utterly stunning location for walks!

Fantastic experience: Excellent Pilates instructor encouraging,professional & motivating! Always really enjoy Gemma’s classes .

Fantastic experience: From arrival to the time you reluctantly leave you feel nothing but a sense of nurture and calm. My husband and I were the two unfit fatties in the group and with Gemma's patience and guidance we were both touching our toes in no time. Lunch was so delicious and freshly prepared that we could not get enough of it. Mercifully there was plenty. If only we didn't live so far I know I would be a very regular client. Thank you Gemma for the inspiration and kindness, you are a beautiful star in this sometimes not so shiny world.

Fantastic experience: Tranquil surroundings and beautiful accomodation. I attend yoga weekly and have improved significantly, Gemma really adapts the exercises to suit your needs, one to one attention.

Fantastic experience: Best retreat I've been on, lovely people, fantastic food, lots of activities but no pressure to do everything. Gemma, yoga teacher, adapted all the poses for my injured shoulder so I could do all the exercise classes, which really helped with my recovery. Thanks

Fantastic experience: I've just got back from the 4 day summer retreat and can highly recommend the experience. The accommodation is beautiful, Phil and Veronica are excellent hosts and made me feel completely at home. The food cooked by Kirsty was truly delicious. I had a lovely treatment with Heather which left me feeling refreshed. The heart and soul of this experience came from the whole team but in particular Gemma with some wonderful (and not too difficult) yoga sessions, and some really great coaching and life guidance. I also really appreciated the guided meditations and sound bath, not to mention the beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside and the great company of the other guests. So much in one weekend but also plenty of time to rest (and nap!!) I have come home feeling energised and ready to tackle life again, thank you all.

Fantastic experience: From as soon as I arrived (alone and around 45-minutes earlier than others) to when I left, I was made to feel unbelievably welcome and as comfortable as I would of been at home. The extremely well-organised weekend was filled with planned activities to ease both our physical and mental wellbeing - yoga, pilates (twice daily), a Brecon Becon hike and paddleboarding -; time alone if we wanted, conversations with people I'd only just met but by the end felt like I'd known for far longer, and an optional massage and nutritionist consultation (which were both way worth the extra charge). Even my health-related dietary requirements were no bother for the talented chef that came in daily to cook us meals - I'm still dreaming of every bit of food served. I came home feeling fitter and telling family and friends I'd highly recommend the family-run Stables Wellbeing Energising retreat to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and plenty of fantastic food provided by the chef in a relaxing space with ample picturesque walks nearby!

Fantastic experience: Great place and a lovely stay. Comfy with great food and amazing walks right on your doorstep. Will be back!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at the retreat! A great place to unwind with friends, catch up, play some board games and eat so, so well! The food was the highlight, which is saying something when it's surrounded by picturesque views and walks.

Fantastic experience: Lovely peaceful setting, fantastic catered food and very comfy rooms. Great for group getaways

Fantastic experience: A very special experience. Yoga, countryside, amazing food and high quality accommodation. A lot of love and passion has gone into this establishment

Fantastic experience: I went on a retreat in September. After spending most of the year on wellness retreats and trying to obtain clarity on my life I have some authority to recommend this to all. This is a family run centre in the beautiful countryside of Wales, benefitting from its location adjacent to some spiritual ancient areas. The agenda was just right, with activities carefully created to give a warm and inviting few days of fitness, nutrition and the opportunity to connect with other individuals attending the retreat. The package offered in my opinion is very good value for money and offers a well earned space to unwind, regroup and recoup from the busy stresses and strains of life Thank you to all at Stables Wellbeing

Fantastic experience: A wonderful retreat centre in a glorious setting with warm and welcoming hosts. The centre is clean, well thought out with lots of attention to detail ensuring a comfortable stay.

Fantastic experience: This retreat was exactly what I was looking for: just the right length, full of activities but with enough free time for me to relax fully. All the activities were SOOO well guided and supported that they were suitable for all levels. The cooking was fantastic and the treatments were of the highest standard. The atmosphere was very friendly and conducive to restoring one's life to balance. All the facilities were light, clean and the care taken in the choices (furnishings, etc.) visible everywhere. I congratulate Phil, Veronica, Gemma and Kirsty for this achievement! I am still feeling the "glow" of my fantastic treatments. I would highly recommend it!!! And to finish, the landscape is awesome.

Fantastic experience: Arrived stressed and tired and left relaxed and well fed (food excellent). Very enjoyable few days in beautiful location; super hosts, looking forward to next time.

Fantastic experience: Had a fabulous experience here. Went solo and felt at ease as soon as I arrived. Lovely clean modern accommodation. Excellent yoga and country walks in stunning scenery. Delicious organic vegan food. Met some amazing people. We loved it so much we’ve booked again for next year. Got home feeling focused and refreshed. Absolutely highly recommend this experience ❤️

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, simply wonderful If your thinking of getting away, then this is the place. Your body and mind will thank you for it! Mine did and still does. Already booking to return

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful stay at Stables Wellbeing on my Wellness retreat. Phil, Veronica and Gemma were perfect hosts, the accommodation was 5 star and the food was delicious. All the retreat activities were well planned and suitable for all levels. Therapies were offered at additional but competitive costs. I made some wonderful friends during my stay and we have all decided to rebook for next year. Well worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time at The Stables. Phil Veronica and Gemma host a beautiful space to really recharge. Stunning scenery on the walks, wonderful tasty vegan food, amazing range of treatments, yoga, Pilates and interesting, informative workshops. I went to recharge and came away with so much more! Highly recommend a visit!

Fantastic experience: My Mum and I went on a 5 day retreat at Stables Wellbeing in July. It's a really wonderful place in such a beautiful setting. Everything was brilliant from the food to the workshops, walks and yoga. We left feeling fully refreshed and will hopefully be back! Thanks to the whole team for a wonderful experience

Fantastic experience: A wonderful retreat set within beautiful surroundings. Stunning accommodation, wonderful hosts, amazing food and a truly nurturing experience. I would highly recommend. I have already re-booked!

Fantastic experience: Very relaxing , professional but made everyone feel at ease .A truly wonderful few days with genuine people who understood everyone's needs . Highly recommend a visit

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience on the 5 day retreat. The location and accomodation is fantastic, the plant based food cooked with love by Kirsty every day was wonderful and delicious! Every activity we did was amazing - from the walks, the yoga and Pilates, the sound baths and the workshops. Phil, Gemma, Nat, Kirsty and Veronica and the dogs were all lovely and brilliant and I enjoyed every single minute of the retreat! I also met some fab people that I hope to keep in touch with and I hope I can stay there again very soon! ☺️ Diolch/Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Came from the U.S. and was seeking a re-set; some rest and rejuvenation, and I got that and so much more! The space and environment are so inviting and peaceful. The surrounding land draws you in and calms, while at the same time is raw and wild. The hosts (family) were so in tune with what people wanted/needed and are lovely- felt like friends with all at the outset. Great yoga, Pilates, hikes, meditations, treatments, discussions etc :) The food was AMAZING- clean, satisfying and delectable. Thank you Gemma et al!! Will be back!

Fantastic experience: My recent stay at at Stables Wellbeing went far far beyond my expectations. Its location with such beautiful surrounding countryside is amazing with great walks to be found in all directions. The delicious, healthy food was a delight to the senses. Christy, our conscientious and inventive chef produced meal after meal from scratch with much LOVE and creativity. I highly recommend a stay here to rejuvenate your senses and to find a calm haven to retreat to.

Fantastic experience: Stayed at Stables for a few days with our own yoga teacher. Absolutely loved the place. Everything was a really high standard. The accommodation was very comfortable and Veronica and Phil, the owners, could not have been more helpful. We did a guided walk with them which was very informative. We had dogs for company and even their lovely grandson and daughter. Kirsty cooked our meals which were all really delicious. She was really helpful explaining the nutritional benefits of everything she made. All in all a five star experience

Fantastic experience: I had such a great time and came back fully recharged. Everything was amazing: location, accommodations, teachers, hosts, food and the classes & activities. Cannot wait to go back !

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Nat and Gem run the retreats but there are others who contribute to making sure your stay is as perfect as it can be. The thing I really like is Nat and Gem believe 100% in what they do. The first time I went I assumed they would tell me about their perfect lives and how I could work towards that but they didn't, they are actually human, very honest and always willing to help. They make you feel that it's okay to be in a rut and are honest about being on their own journey through things. I can't recommend this place enough. Excellent people, excellent walks, excellent classes, great price, what more could you want? x

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed the retreat the first time so went back for a second time a few months later. Wonderful accommodation. Well run event with great Pilates & Yoga teachers, self development work and amazing food. Looking forward to my third one

Fantastic experience: I attended the paddleboarding retreat and loved it. The team are so lovely and do whatever they can to aid your well-being. The atmosphere is so calm and chilled with options to do as much or little as you want. Retreats are intimate so you get to know eachother well. Also the vegetarian meals are absolutely amazing! Will definitely come back xx

Fantastic experience: Lovely Retreat Centre. In the heart of beautiful Carmarthenshire. Vegan food provided by fantastic chef. Friendly and experienced team running the retreat. Great atmosphere amongst all attendees. Deliberately small numbers helped achieve this. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs space in there lives to recharge.
