Mid Wales is where wild hills meet hidden stories and stars spill across ink-dark skies. From walking Offa’s Dyke to standing with a foot in two countries, every day brings quiet adventure. And when the exploring ends, there’s always the deep, slow exhale of the cabin at the edge home.

Happy November (already!) As the last golden leaves tumble from the trees and the hills don their winter coats, life at Quabbs shifts into a slower, cosier rhythm. The air turns crisp, the nights draw in, and everything seems to settle into a contented hush. But before we tuck ourselves in for the season, there’s plenty to do to make sure the farm, the cabin, and ourselves are ready for winter’s arrival.

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.

This is a place where the greatest skill you can hone is the art of doing absolutely nothing—and doing it well. If that sounds easy, let me assure you, it’s an underrated, highly refined practice. Slowing down, switching off, and fully embracing a day with zero obligations? That takes real dedication.
There’s something about the night sky here. Maybe it’s the lack of light pollution, maybe it’s the way the stars seem to hum in the stillness, or maybe it’s just the fact that you’re finally sitting still with nothing to do but look up. Whatever it is, stargazing at the cabin is a little bit magic. Stargazing is awesome here.

There is something about the satisfying stomp of a wellington boot that just makes sense to me. Perhaps it’s the reassuring grip on the muddy ground, the feeling of being properly shod for the great outdoors, or the sheer necessity of them when your daily life involves both farming and dodging the British weather. Whatever it is, my wellies are not just footwear; they are a symbol of everything I love—countryside, peace, quiet, and the sheer rugged beauty of the land I call home.
