PLAN YOUR VISIT

Enjoy stunning Mid-Wales

There is lots more to do in the area than just coming for a tattoo! If you’re looking to make your visit into a stay then you can read all about our luxury Shepherds Hut and Hot Tub and book online too here.

If it’s already booked out then your next best option is to search Airbnb for places close to Cilmery or Llanafanfawr to be as close as possible to us for your visit

Below are some suggestions of my favourite things to do in the area, where to eat and also a map to help you plan your journey. If you are booked in then I will email you a precise Google map link before your visit

We are not easily accessible by public transport and if you’re having a tattoo then I can not guarantee timing so I strongly recommend travelling to us by car only

 

Things to do

  • Explore the Welsh Lavender Farm - 20 minutes away (where the toiletries in the hut are made) pretty lavender fields nestled in the hills with a sweet cafe and gift shop and a wild swimming pond www.welshlavender.com

  • Take a walk around the Elan Valley - sometimes called the ‘Welsh Lake District’ a vast area of beautiful reservoirs and dams

  • Wild swim at Washpool - stunning wild swimming spot in Abergwesyn about 15 minutes away with crystal water and waterfalls

  • Lake Country House Hotel & Spa - (10 mins drive) Lovely quiet spa set next to a lake with a full menu of spa treatments, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, steam and sauna and a restaurant

  • Hay-On-Wye (45 min drive) - the UK’s literary capital full of gorgeous independent books shops, lovely boutiques, a weekly market and loads of nice cafes and restaurants

  • Llandeilo (1 hr drive) - beautiful little town with a few great cafes (Pitchfork and Provision is my favourite) and lots of lovely shops including Toast’s original flagship store

I suggest googling any of these you plan to visit to check opening times and book ahead if possible:

  • The Prince Llewelyn Pub, Cilmery (5 mins drive) - easy pub grub

  • Cwtch Cafe, Builth Wells (15 mins drive) - loads of breakfast and lunch options and a nice deli shop inside too

  • Cosy Corner, Builth Wells(15 mins drive) - dinner bistro open Wednesday to Saturday, booking probably a good idea
