Wellness and Walking Holidays Reviews 22

Thank you so much to Anna and her team or a wonderful yoga and mindfulness weekend . Four of us booked the weekend as a long overdue get together It was very well organised. We had a wonderfully calm and patient yoga coach in Paula, who was so encouraging. Sunday’s mindfulness walk was expertly led by Belinda, who took us through some great mindfulness practices . Anna was always on hand for support and advice In all a memorable weekend . We’re looking forward to booking our next reunion with Wellness and Walking very soon. Thanks again!

Just returned from my second visit to Llandudno with ’WellnessandWalking’ (wellnessandwalking.com) which is testament to how much my dog & I enjoyed the first visit earlier this year.
Anna our host attends to every detail according to the group needs & size with a varied agenda from serious walking to yoga with dogs. The accommodation in the Stella B&B is just delightful offering a quiet location within easy reach for exploring the town facilities…… after a delicious breakfast.

I really enjoyed my Yoga and Wellness September weekend break in Llandudno. I joined with three other friends and the group was a mix of solo travellers and other friends. The group size was small enough to allow everyone to settle together and Anna was really welcoming.

The hotel (with excellent breakfasts) was practically on the front at Llandudno and just a couple of minutes from the lovely yoga studio. The three yoga sessions, led by the really knowledgeable Paula, were all different and focused so well on our wellbeing. The final one on the Saturday evening, which was a restorative session (extremely relaxing and very slow moving), helped me to totally unwind. The mini pamper session afterwards was a nice follow up. Sunday’s mindfulness walk on The Great Orme, provided well-guided opportunities for mindfulness reflection and, even though it was absolutely pouring with rain, I really enjoyed the walk.😀 Anna joined us for all of the activities and was a great host.

The break really did help me to unwind and switch off and, because the weekend was planned to allow free time inbetween sessions, it allowed my friends and I (who had arranged to get together from different parts of Wales), time together to catch up and explore.
We really enjoyed the break and are keeping our eyes open to see what’s coming next year. Thank you Anna and everyone! 👏🏻

An excellent dog friendly weekend in Llandudno for walking and yoga (with your dog). Everything was organised to perfection. I would highly recommend

Fabulous and relaxing break and the Hafren Forest Hideaway and a paddleboarding lesson, loved every minute of it and will be booking another break soon. Was lovely to meet Anna

Recently enjoyed the perfect weekend retreat through Wellness and Walking Holidays. Anna organised everything beautifully start to finish and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I met with some amazing ladies who I hadn’t met before but soon felt as if I had known them forever. We stayed at the wonderful Hafren Forest Hideaway owned and hosted by Sarah and Darren who welcomed us and couldn’t have done enough for us. The Hideaway was very warm, clean and cosy with very comfortable beds - I slept like a log! We were treated to delicious home cooked food by Sarah and nothing was too much trouble. A 5 hour walk was organised through the beautiful Hafren Forest up to the source of the River Severn. Darren guided us and was very knowledgable about our surroundings, I learnt so much about the river and the forest. We also enjoyed a fun session of Archery. Thank you Anna, Sarah and Darren I can’t wait to meet up again next year!

Had an absolutely wonderful weekend staying at The Hideaway Hafren forest. We were so well taken care of, Sarah and Darren were incredible hosts.
The weekend from start to finish exceeded all my expectations.
Anna is a true inspiration and such a lovely warm welcoming person. Would not hesitate to book again!

I arrived for my wellness and walking holiday not having met a soul who was going. I was naturally, slightly apprehensive but wow I met an inspiring and funny group of amazing ladies!!!! We done a fabulous 5 hour walk to the source of the severn, we went fresh water swimming and played archery whilst staying at the most comfortable and thought out accomodation. (With the best home cooked food, cosy log fire and the warmest showers!) It was such the perfect location. The best part was that it was all organised, down to every last detail. The whole weekend was arranged by Anna. Alls i had to do was turn up!! It truly was an amazing weekend for me. I needed to switch off from real life for a bit and thats exactly what i got to do. I cant wait to go back xx

A fun and relaxing day. Anna and the Bryntysilio team were so accommodating and went above and beyond in making the day such a positive experience for us. Amazing value for money. Plenty of delicious homemade food provided throughout the day. Each activity was well organised and enjoyable; we canoed over the aquaduct, did archery and a yoga session followed by a sound bath.

A really enjoyable active day at Bryntysilio. Great activities and then relaxed by my first ever sound bath experience. Well organised and thought out with a lovely lunch too.

Adventure day, Brynticylio Outdoor Centre on Saturday. Canoeing, archery fun, yoga, sound bath and plenty of cake along with a lovely buffet lunch. Really enjoyed the activities as well as the company. Left feeling very relaxed.

I've been along to two of Anna's retreats now. Both were thoroughly planned out and organised perfectly. You can tell Anna really gets to know the accommodation and event organisers and plans everything with them to give clients the most relaxing time. It's so important to take time out for wellness and Anna has created the perfect events to be able to do this in an affordable way. Already looking forward to booking something else!

Anna was the perfect host for this Wellness and Walking holiday at Hafren Forest Hideway. She made sure everything ran smoothly and I felt that she was genuinely interested in making sure we were all happy. The accommodation she offered was perfect for a big group and was set in such an idyllic situation that I didn't want to go home. The owners of the Hideway, Sarah and Darren, were impeccable hosts and the food Sarah cooked for us was delicious. They sat with us at meal times and told us about the general area and life in Wales which added to the experience. The activities arranged for us included hiking and SUP and we had qualified guides and instructors which meant that I learnt some new skills whilst still having fun. And finally the girls in the group were very similar in their experience of the outdoors and they were so friendly and so chatty. I haven't had so much fun or laughed so much in ages. Well done all of you.

I absolutely loved every minute of the walking and wellness holiday. Sarah and Darren were so welcoming and such interesting people to talk to. I really loved getting to know them and to be able to enjoy Sarah's delicious home cooking! They have really thought of everything within their accommodation; the rooms are cosy, the beds comfortable, everywhere was absolutely spotless and the living room was a lovely place to relax in and read one of the numerous books available or just to sit around the fire.

I loved the guided hike with Darren and he was so knowledgable of the local area, often stopping to give us an insight into life in mid Wales. He led the group at a nice pace with plenty of opportunity to stop, take photos and enjoy the view. The source of the River Severn was interesting and the walk was really varied with the forest and open moorland. It was such a treat to have a campfire at night too!

The paddleboarding was fabulous and Richard our instructor was so patient and helpful. He even helped lots of us stand up even though it was our first time on the paddleboards. We played some fun games on the mega SUP before enjoying jumping off into the water. Such a fab session - I just wish it would last twice as long!

Thank you for a wonderful little mini break - I had the best time and really hope to return one day again soon!

The Walking and Wellness 2 day break at Hafren Forest was very enjoyable. The accommodation was roomy, the beds were comfortable and everything needed was available. The food provided was beautiful and the welcome we got from Darren and Sarah was lovely. The paddle boarding was a first for me and I was a bit nervous having never done it before. Nerves went out of the window and it was a very enjoyable experience. Lots of laughter and felt very ‘looked after’ for the whole time. Thank you Anna Sarah and Darren.

This holiday gave me the opportunity to escape from daily life and enjoy activities I found both relaxing and invigorating. Having time in nature with other like-minded people was invaluable and the experience has given me the reset I needed. For me the star of the experience was the accommodation, which was comfortable and relaxing but the stunning outdoor location of Hafren Forest as well as the warm welcome we received turned the event into a very special few days.

Anna kept in touch from initial enquiry, keeping me updated which I really appreciated. She organized evening meals too for everyone which helped get to know each other which was great if on your own. A very friendly and well organized weekend with free time and plenty of activities to join in on as a group. Great location. It was a real pleasure having Anna there all weekend.

The retreat was affordable and well planned. Gorgeous venue for the yoga couldn’t fault it, Paula the instructor was excellent, the pamper aspect was a lovely touch too. The walk was lovely and getting to know the other ladies was a pleasant experience. Anna who organised the weekend did such a fantastic job of finding a clean and comfortable hotel right in the heart of Llandudno literally 2 mins from the Yoga Studio, she mixed yoga sessions with a walk and a pamper evening over the 2 days so it was spaced out perfectly with the option of having some free time to explore Llandudno if we wished. It was very well planned and a peaceful, pleasant weekend getting to know some lovely ladies in the bargain!”

Had the pleasure of attending the first wellness and walking retreat in Rhos on Sea. It was wonderful. The qigong practices were wonderful, something that I was a complete novice to! The sound bath was blissful and the morning yoga was an absolute treat. The guided walk up Llandudno's little Orme was the highlight for me. All in all I couldn't recommend a retreat enough. A perfect chance to connect with wellbeing and check in with myself while enjoying wonderful activities in a beautiful place

I absolutely loved my Wellness and Walking holiday! I wish I was back there now. The itinerary was perfectly planned. The hotel we stayed at was immaculately clean, the receptionist was so friendly and it was in a brilliant quiet location close to the sea. I felt very comfortable there, like a home from home. The refreshments on offer was very generous and of good quality.

The qigong was so interesting, it was brilliant to learn and try something new and the instructor was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. We had Chinese tea and chatted as a group, which was so lovely.

The walk had incredible views, it was the perfect challenge with a huge reward of stunning panoramic views of mountains, the sea and the fields. We even saw wild seals on the way up!

We went for a lovely meal in Rhos on Sea in the evening, this wasn't included and it was lovely to have a few hours to discover some of the local area ourselves.

The gong bath in the evening finished our first day off perfectly. I floated to bed!

The next morning, we had a tasty breakfast with good coffee, then went for a relaxing yoga class. The instructor was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.

I can't wait to go on my next Wellness & Walking holiday in the new year!!
