Welsh Shepherds Hut
Gets Five Stars
A Shepherd’s Hut in
Welshpool has been given a
top five star rating by Visit
Wales in its first ever
glamping category.
The award recognises
businesses that offer the
highest standards of quality,
comfort and hospitality and the assessors gave the shepherd’s hut
98% and told the owners, Gary and Ros Thomas it was the best
example of shepherd’s hut accommodation they had ever seen.
Ceridwen Shortlisted
in RBA Awards
The Ceridwen Centre Ltd, a glamping holiday business based
in Carmarthenshire, has made it through to the Rural Business
Awards (RBA – in partnership with CLA & Amazon) Tourism
category final alongside four other UK based businesses. The
overall winners set to be announced on the 5th of October at
the Denbies Wine Estate, Surrey. The Ceridwen Centre is one
of only three Welsh businesses, which were shortlisted over all
categories.
The Thomas’ use local tradesmen and artisan makers of food,
toiletries and decorative items for the home wherever possible. To
promote their business, Gary and Ros have joined MWT Cymru,
an independent organisation that represents around 600 tourism
and hospitality businesses across Mid Wales.
MWT Cymru’s chief executive Val Hawkins congratulated the
couple on their five star gold grading and commended their
commitment to provide top quality accommodation for visitors.
“Gary and Ros typify the new wave of high quality tourism
businesses that we have welcomed to Mid Wales in recent years,”
she said. “Their success is great news for the region as a whole
because it reflects the excellent standards being achieved by our
tourism operators.”

Cheshire Farmer Launches
Pitch & Canvas
Suzanne Miller and her husband Drew have set up a new glamping
business in Tattenhall offering pods, bell tents and regular tent pitches
with breathtaking views of the Sandstone Ridge.
The Millers have a working dairy farm – Broad Oak on the Bolesworth
Estate and guests will be able to see the day to day running of the farm
during their stay.
Suzanne, who originally created Pitch & Canvas to diversify Broad Oak
Farm, said: “
“Broad Oak offers the perfect opportunity to marry nature and business
together, and create a unique offering which not only supports the
growth of the farm but opens us up to a completely new market and
audience.”
Suzanne added: “Broad Oak Farm will remain a fully functioning dairy
farm. So, as a unique experience, we will have the opportunity to allow
our guests and visitors to see some of the daily duties that come with
running a dairy farm. The can observe milking time in the parlour and
if they are lucky enough may even get to see a new calf being born.”
