Take a look below at recent retreats held here at Cwm Connell, the Yoga Shala, Hay Loft & Retreat Kitchen as well as some of the delicious catered food we offer.
🍁Autumn naturally invites us to slow down, turn inward and create a little more space for ourselves. Away from the busyness of everyday life, a few days on retreat can be an opportunity to pause, reconnect and restore.
This autumn, we're welcoming a selection of retreats to Cwm Connell — offering time for yoga, movement, meditation, nourishing food, fresh air and deep rest, all surrounded by the wild beauty of the Pembrokeshire coast.
Imagine waking to the sounds of nature, beginning the morning with yoga, walking along quiet coastal paths, sharing delicious meals and ending the day beside the fire as the evenings draw in.
Our secluded setting makes Cwm Connell a very special place to step away from the outside world for a while.
Come for the yoga. Stay for the stillness. Return home renewed.
Whether you're looking to deepen your practice, reconnect with yourself or simply take some much-needed time out, our autumn retreats offer the space to do just that.

Cwm Connell has been filled with the sounds of happy children and dogs, beach days, water sports and summer sun ☀️ Now there is a sense of peace and calm as our season of yoga retreats commences. Our guests comment on how quiet it is here, just the sound of nature, the sea and the breeze. There is perhaps no sound more closely associated with yoga than Om. It is both sound and silence. It begins as vibration and ends in stillness. Discover more - read Alex's blog on Om: The Sacred Sound of Yoga. https://www.cwmconnell.co.uk/om/#yogaretreat#yogalife
It is exactly 5 years since Alex and I moved to the Pembrokeshire Coast and we still pinch ourselves as we are overwhelmed by the beauty, infinite space, awesome nature, warm community, and elemental seasons. Waking up to sea views, walking the dogs from our door through woods to the coast path, visiting beautiful sandy beaches up and down the coast, swimming in the sea - we have found our perfect life. We love welcoming our cottage guests and yoga retreat visitors and sharing with them this beautiful tranquil paradise and are grateful every day for our flourishing business which keeps us here. #gratefuleveryday#ParadiseFound#PembrokeshireCoast Visit Pembrokeshire

Fantastic rural location close to the coastal path, beaches and sea. Very comfortable cottage with all required amenities. The hot tub and sauna were a hit after walking, swimming and kayaking. Great set up for dogs and the kids loved it too. Many thanks to Emma and Alex for being so welcoming and helpful, will definitely recommend!

We have just returned from a delightful stay at Cwm Connell. The cottage was exceptional: superbly comfortable, well-equipped, and beautifully presented. The welcome basket of remarkably good bread and other delicious items from the local bakery was very much appreciated. Our hosts Emma and Alex were equally welcoming and made our stay all the more enjoyable with their warmth and wealth of local information. The Cwm Connell website was so helpful, with recommendations for walks, fantastic nearby beaches (we loved Mwnt beach), and local restaurants. It took all the effort out of finding the best places to go. We thoroughly enjoyed a wildlife walk with Steve Halton on our first morning, a yoga session with Alex, and relaxing in the hot tub while taking in the beautiful views. We had a splendid time and will definitely be returning.

Yr Ffald is lovely cottage as and described online. It has ramped access to the front door (although the concrete at the bottom is broken and there is a small lip/step at the top which makes it tricky to navigate for those in a wheelchair). The kitchen is well equipped with the basics and the beds are comfy. The hot tub was a big hit with the boys! Sarah is a fabulous host and was attentive, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The area is great for exploring - we recommend coastering at Ceibwr bay, Ffynone Waterfall (especially for those in search of fairies!), New Port Beach for paddle-boarding, Llys-y-fran reservoir (for a walk or bike-ride), Whitesands Bay for surfing and the Blue Lagoon for the fearless!

Wonderful setting, beautifully decorated cottage and friendly hosts. Just 20min to walk down to a pebble beach. Ideal for dog owners! There is a paddock where dogs can run free while you enjoy a fabulous sunset.

A beautiful holiday cottage, relaxing, welcoming and everything you need. The dog paddock was perfect and the walk through the woods to the bay was lovely, highly recommended

Amazing location, views are beautiful. Superbly dog friendly and lots of amenities including barbecues, washer and drier for guests to use. Short 20 mins walk to a pebble beach. We had the nicest time staying here. Would definitely recommend to dog owners looking for a nice holiday in the Welsh coast countryside.

We had the most wonderful stay here on our dog walking holiday in South Wales. From the moment we arrived, Alex and Emma made us feel so welcome. They are such lovely, thoughtful hosts who genuinely care about their guests and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. The cottages themselves are absolutely picture-perfect. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed with incredible style and taste, while still feeling cosy and authentic. Set within beautifully restored old farm buildings that have been part of this landscape for generations, the cottages and gardens blend naturally into the surrounding hills and woodland, preserving the character of the area. The location is simply spectacular. With the Pembrokeshire Coast Path within walking distance, you're surrounded by miles of beautiful walking trails, rolling green hills, peaceful woodland, dramatic sea cliffs, and breathtaking coastal views. It really is a paradise for anyone who loves nature, hiking, and exploring with their dogs. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would recommend it wholeheartedly. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already looking forward to returning.

Had the most lovely stay! Emma and Alex were so kind and communicative and the cottages are beautiful. We loved how environmentally conscious the cottages are and all the access to nature (Ceibwr Bay, the coastal path, etc.). If you’re in the area, absolutely worth a stay!

WOW! From start to finish this was the best place we’ve discovered from years of travelling to “dog friendly” places. This is the first place we’ve ever found to have covered literally everything you could possibly need / want during a stay. From the moment of arrival we were greeted and shown around the land and where to find anything and if we had any questions where to find someone to help during our stay. The cottage itself was very clean and very modern with amazing facility’s. The most impressive part was the attention to detail to everything inside, from small tags for the dogs collars to let people know where they are staying and contact information if they become lost, the goodie bag of treats and towels available with more being available within the grounds, the information packs inside with all the best beach locations and local vet information etc. The fresh bread, local honey/butter and milk that was left out for us was a very nice touch that we very much enjoyed! You can even use BBQ’s they have on site We had almost not booked this because of the “shared” hot tub and sauna facility’s, I’m so glad we did because even though it’s “shared” you can book an hour time slot and it’s very private and located with a stunning view across the fields. Overall I could probably write over 1000 words of how amazing this place is! If you love your pooch and want to go away somewhere that’s quiet, well thought out for both humans and pooches this is the place for you! This has now set the standard for our holidays away and can’t wait to go back in the future!
