When we built and decorated our cabin, we were given plenty of well-meaning advice – keep it minimal, make everything match, don’t personalise too much, We chose a different path. This is the story of building a cabin with character, soul and quiet confidence that guests genuinely connect with.
Whilst the benefits of a copper bath are awesome. The copper bath at Quabbs Cabin is the heart of our luxury romantic retreat in Mid Wales. Set inside a generous large bathroom with a rainfall double shower, it offers guests a truly indulgent, spa-style experience in complete seclusion.

Paired with our new Sauna Shack, cold plunge vintage sherry barrel and woodland rainfall shower, it creates a private wellness escape designed for rest, reconnection, and slowing down. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply escaping the everyday, the copper bath at Quabbs Cabin is the soak you didn’t know you needed.
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.

A sea of blue, a moment of magic
each spring, our hidden corners of Mid Wales come alive with a spellbinding shimmer of bluebells. Winding woodland paths and quiet dells near the cabin are transformed into carpets of violet-blue — nature’s own hush falling over the land. Whether you’re wandering hand in hand, snapping photos, or just breathing in that earthy-sweet scent, it’s a fleeting, fairytale season that reminds us to slow down and soak it all in. At Quabbs, the bluebells aren’t just flowers — they’re little messengers of wonder and we love them.

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.
Imagine a place where time slows down, where the only sounds you hear are birdsong, the crackle of a wood fire, and the gentle rustle of the breeze through the trees. Quabbs Cabin isn’t just a getaway—it’s an experience, a retreat from the everyday, a little slice of heaven in the heart of the Mid

It’s the season of slowing down, snuggling up, and embracing all things warm, golden, and gloriously cosy.

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.
