History

Stables Wellbeing in Trap. Just 10mins from both Llandeilo and Ammanford.  Our new venue has had an interesting history. The name is taken from its original purpose, as a very grand stables for returning war horse heroes from the Crimean War 1853 -1856. The house opposite was the Estate managers residence. In more recent times it was a cottage industry for the bottling of natural spring water. The rights to this were subsequently sold to Brecon Carreg. After this, its use changed again to become the ‘Trap Arts & Craft Centre-that operated for many years until it closed in 2006. Since its closure it has remained dormant, but now it opens as Stables Wellbeing, where we have kept the character of the building and retained many features.

In the grounds of Llwyn Dewi there are the remains of medieval chapel dating back to circa 800 AD.

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 each other well. Also the vegetarian meals are absolutely amazing! Will definitely come back!”

Wonderful place, people, and time in general. Very relaxed atmosphere, the yoga the hikes, the treatments were just perfect for a much needed reconnection to self and re-set! The hosts Veronica and Phil were so welcoming, Gemma and Nat were lovely facilitators. And Kirsty’s food was delicious!

Highly recommend!

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!

I recently attended a retreat and it was so wonderful. The hosts are so friendly, knowledgeable and inspiring. the agenda was great with yoga and Pilates everyday, but if we needed to rest there was no pressure to attend.

the food was incredible – all plant based and delicious!

I came back feeling incredibly refreshed and rejuvenated. Would highly recommend!”
