Looking for dog friendly Mid Wales ideas? Discover scenic walks, relaxed cafés, welcoming pubs and dog-friendly places to visit across Mid Wales, including Knighton and Offa’s Dyke. Perfect inspiration for a countryside break where your dog is part of the adventure.
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.
At Quabbs, we believe in creating spaces that soothe the soul and honour the land. Our latest project — a Moon Garden nestled around the rustic Sauna Shack — is designed to do just that. This gentle, sensory space will feature silvery foliage, night-blooming flowers, and soft places to sit and unwind after a sauna and cold woodland shower. But it’s not just about beauty — it’s also about supporting nature.
Moon gardens attract nighttime pollinators like moths and bats, offer shelter to wildlife, and encourage slow, sustainable gardening. It’s a space to breathe deeply, walk barefoot, and watch the stars emerge — and we’re building it slowly, thoughtfully, and with love.
Read on to discover what we’re planting, how it helps the local ecosystem, and why moonlight, meadows, and moths make such good companions.

At Quabbs, our Zwartbles sheep aren’t just livestock—they’re part of the family. With their black wool, white blazes, and big personalities, they add charm to the hills and heart to the farm. There’s Rose, our wise matriarch; Lagatha, the fierce protector; Porky Pearl, always first to the feed bucket; Kitty, our biscuit-loving buddy; and Harmony, the gentlest soul. These striking Dutch ladies are known for being friendly and fabulous mums—but also a tad greedy! Life with them is noisy, warm, and wonderfully woolly. Come meet the flock and fall in love with the magic of the meadow.
