Located in Cwmdauddwr, Glamorgan, The Dreaming is a remarkable retreat set on 47 acres of ancient land, offering a serene escape in the heart of Wales. Originally a 15th-century Cistercian monastery, this property has a rich history, passing through the hands of aristocratic families before being revitalized by designer Laura Ashley and later reimagined by Charlotte Church in 2020. Accommodating up to sixteen guests across eight uniquely decorated bedroom suites, The Dreaming is an ideal venue for special occasions, family gatherings, or corporate retreats. The property features enchanting gardens designed with RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist Juliet Sargeant, which include waterfalls, natural plunge pools, and scenic walking paths, creating a truly tranquil environment for guests to explore and enjoy.
The interiors of The Dreaming are a blend of luxury and creativity, showcasing natural materials and thoughtful design. Guests can unwind in spacious living areas such as the Print Room, where Ashley once created her iconic prints, or the charming Cwtch, perfect for cozy gatherings. The Refectory, adorned with dried flowers and rustic decor, serves as a central gathering spot with breathtaking countryside views. Each bedroom suite is designed with its own character, offering luxurious amenities and unique themes, such as The Wanderer suite, which features international decor and stunning views, and The Moon, designed for relaxation with its serene fabrics and moon-shaped bath overlooking the Moon Garden.
Beyond the luxurious accommodations, The Dreaming is perfectly situated to explore the natural beauty and historic charm of the surrounding region. Just a short distance away, the Elan Valley offers picturesque reservoirs and hiking trails, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers. Visitors can also discover the quaint village of Llanwrthwl and the historic town of Builth Wells, known for its annual Royal Welsh Show and riverside walks. The nearby River Wye provides opportunities for various water activities, while the Gilfach Nature Reserve offers a peaceful setting for wildlife spotting and family walks, showcasing the area's rich biodiversity.
The Dreaming not only serves as a luxurious getaway but also as a gateway to the enchanting Welsh countryside. With its stunning landscapes, charming villages, and diverse activities, visitors can immerse themselves in the region's natural beauty and cultural heritage. From exploring the historic Devil’s Bridge to stargazing in the Cambrian Mountains, The Dreaming provides an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, history buffs, and families alike.
