Pen Pynfarch Centre for Workshops, Retreats and Green Holidays in West Wales

House with marigolds Annie-Mary & The Druke Gwyddil stream

Pen Pynfarch is an ideal setting for people to take some time out from the routine of everyday life. The quiet, the beautiful natural surroundings, the simple style of the old farm buildings and uncluttered, warm accommodation and work space make it a place you can quickly feel at ease in.

"Is it warm & open-hearted hospitality and stunning surroundings or is it stunning hospitality and warm and open-hearted surroundings..... Whatever.... It's a sure winner.
Maynard.

At Pen Pynfarch, above all, what we have to offer is space. There's space to rest or replenish yourself, to take stock or clarify a new direction in work or life; there's space to learn something new or deepen understanding in a particular field; there's space to explore creative processes, spend time with new ideas, to read, write, research, stand on one leg, go for a walk or just be.

"Pen Pynfarch is an important place for me, and I hope to return many more times. Under the imaginative and dedicated guardianship of Eeva-Maria and Andy, it is a refuge and a sanctuary providing space for a deeper exploration of life and engagement with its creative processes."
Clare Henderson Davies

A place to make contact

Conversations

At Pen Pynfarch we also aim to offer a place for people to meet, exchange ideas and energies, share good food, and generally keep company in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The relatively small scale of the site give the place an intimacy that is ideally suited to work with small groups.

"Thank you for a lovely time, great company, delicious food and for reminding us what's really important in life." Poppy, Daisy, Charlotte & Simon
