Another Packet of Crisps for Tea: The REAL Story Behind the Build

Blog /

Quabbs Cabin may look like the perfect romantic cabin retreat in the Welsh hills—with its woodfired hot tub, copper bath, and candlelit charm—but the real story is one of grit, graft, and love. Built by hand on a working sheep farm, this off-grid eco stay in Wales rose from mud, mice, and misty evenings spent painting by torchlight. Between farming, teaching, and chasing escaped insulation, we created a soulful, handcrafted retreat full of rustic character. Guests now enjoy peace, stargazing, and stillness—but behind the reclaimed wood lies a tale of resilience, slow living, and, yes—another packet of crisps for tea.

Meet our Zwartbles Flock

Blog /

Meet our Zwartbles sheep—charming, chocolatey-black sheep with white faces—grazing peacefully in our mid Wales meadow near Offa’s Dyke. Originally Dutch dairy sheep, Zwartbles are now prized for their fleece, friendly nature, and gentle temperament. Guests at our eco-friendly cabin often spot them from the porch, grazing, pottering, or even welcoming new lambs. These sociable sheep add to the calm, countryside charm and slower rhythm of life here at Quabbs. From their striking looks to their curious personalities (especially biscuit-loving Kitty), they’re a vital part of our story and a highlight for guests seeking a truly relaxing rural retreat.
