Wellness and Walking HolidaysAnmeldelser 

I had a fantastic experience with Walking and Wellness Holidays on the West Highland Way. Everything was so well organised from start to finish, which meant we could simply enjoy the experience without worrying about the logistics.
Janire from Rays of Sun Adventures was an excellent guide throughout the hike, and behind the scenes Anna made everything run seamlessly. She was always friendly, organised and incredibly supportive, making sure transfers and all the practical details were taken care of smoothly. It made such a difference knowing everything was in safe hands.
The whole trip felt welcoming, professional and thoughtfully put together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Walking and Wellness Holidays to anyone looking for a well-organised walking adventure, and I hope to join another trip in the future!

Just had a fantastic weekend of activities put together by Anna at Wellness and Walking, working in conjunction with Janire from Ray Of Sun Adventures and Darren and Sarah from Hafren Forest Hideaway. A beautiful combination of escape to the Hafren Forest, exploring the local area walks and scenic points, connecting with nature and like minded people, learning new skills such as archery and just having fun. I’ve especially loved it because it is supporting small businesses and I want to see them thrive given the time and effort they invest in creating such amazing experiences. I could literally feel myself relaxing into the weekend each and everyday. Heavenly. Thank you.

I have had the pleasure of working with Anna on a number of retreats over the past couple of years and can honestly say she is one of the most hardworking and genuine people I have ever met.

The amount of time, effort and care she puts into creating a wonderful experience for her guests is incredible. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome, comfortable and looked after throughout their stay.

As a retreat organiser, Anna is organised, professional and passionate about what she does, but what really stands out is how much she genuinely cares about people. Her warmth, kindness and enthusiasm create a lovely atmosphere that guests immediately feel part of.

It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside Anna and seeing first-hand the dedication she brings to every retreat. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a well-organised, friendly and memorable holiday or retreat experience.

Thank you for everything you do, Anna – you’re amazing at what you do.

Anna along with Janire, the mountain leader created something truly special this weekend . Yes, we covered 27 miles over three days, but I came home feeling refreshed, relaxed, and inspired. Anna turned a simple hostel stay into a pampered retreat where she prepared amazing breakfasts, thoughtful touches for our lunches , and created an atmosphere that made every hike feel almost effortless. Janire and Anna compliment each other with their unique set of skills that make you feel as though you are in very safe hands.all we needed to do is getting ourselves up and ready to walk. I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you so much to Anna and her team or a wonderful yoga and mindfulness weekend . Four of us booked the weekend as a long overdue get together It was very well organised. We had a wonderfully calm and patient yoga coach in Paula, who was so encouraging. Sunday’s mindfulness walk was expertly led by Belinda, who took us through some great mindfulness practices . Anna was always on hand for support and advice In all a memorable weekend . We’re looking forward to booking our next reunion with Wellness and Walking very soon. Thanks again!

Just returned from my second visit to Llandudno with ’WellnessandWalking’ (wellnessandwalking.com) which is testament to how much my dog & I enjoyed the first visit earlier this year.
Anna our host attends to every detail according to the group needs & size with a varied agenda from serious walking to yoga with dogs. The accommodation in the Stella B&B is just delightful offering a quiet location within easy reach for exploring the town facilities…… after a delicious breakfast.

I really enjoyed my Yoga and Wellness September weekend break in Llandudno. I joined with three other friends and the group was a mix of solo travellers and other friends. The group size was small enough to allow everyone to settle together and Anna was really welcoming.

The hotel (with excellent breakfasts) was practically on the front at Llandudno and just a couple of minutes from the lovely yoga studio. The three yoga sessions, led by the really knowledgeable Paula, were all different and focused so well on our wellbeing. The final one on the Saturday evening, which was a restorative session (extremely relaxing and very slow moving), helped me to totally unwind. The mini pamper session afterwards was a nice follow up. Sunday’s mindfulness walk on The Great Orme, provided well-guided opportunities for mindfulness reflection and, even though it was absolutely pouring with rain, I really enjoyed the walk.😀 Anna joined us for all of the activities and was a great host.

The break really did help me to unwind and switch off and, because the weekend was planned to allow free time inbetween sessions, it allowed my friends and I (who had arranged to get together from different parts of Wales), time together to catch up and explore.
We really enjoyed the break and are keeping our eyes open to see what’s coming next year. Thank you Anna and everyone! 👏🏻

An excellent dog friendly weekend in Llandudno for walking and yoga (with your dog). Everything was organised to perfection. I would highly recommend

Fabulous and relaxing break and the Hafren Forest Hideaway and a paddleboarding lesson, loved every minute of it and will be booking another break soon. Was lovely to meet Anna

Recently enjoyed the perfect weekend retreat through Wellness and Walking Holidays. Anna organised everything beautifully start to finish and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I met with some amazing ladies who I hadn’t met before but soon felt as if I had known them forever. We stayed at the wonderful Hafren Forest Hideaway owned and hosted by Sarah and Darren who welcomed us and couldn’t have done enough for us. The Hideaway was very warm, clean and cosy with very comfortable beds - I slept like a log! We were treated to delicious home cooked food by Sarah and nothing was too much trouble. A 5 hour walk was organised through the beautiful Hafren Forest up to the source of the River Severn. Darren guided us and was very knowledgable about our surroundings, I learnt so much about the river and the forest. We also enjoyed a fun session of Archery. Thank you Anna, Sarah and Darren I can’t wait to meet up again next year!

Had an absolutely wonderful weekend staying at The Hideaway Hafren forest. We were so well taken care of, Sarah and Darren were incredible hosts.
The weekend from start to finish exceeded all my expectations.
Anna is a true inspiration and such a lovely warm welcoming person. Would not hesitate to book again!

I arrived for my wellness and walking holiday not having met a soul who was going. I was naturally, slightly apprehensive but wow I met an inspiring and funny group of amazing ladies!!!! We done a fabulous 5 hour walk to the source of the severn, we went fresh water swimming and played archery whilst staying at the most comfortable and thought out accomodation. (With the best home cooked food, cosy log fire and the warmest showers!) It was such the perfect location. The best part was that it was all organised, down to every last detail. The whole weekend was arranged by Anna. Alls i had to do was turn up!! It truly was an amazing weekend for me. I needed to switch off from real life for a bit and thats exactly what i got to do. I cant wait to go back xx

A fun and relaxing day. Anna and the Bryntysilio team were so accommodating and went above and beyond in making the day such a positive experience for us. Amazing value for money. Plenty of delicious homemade food provided throughout the day. Each activity was well organised and enjoyable; we canoed over the aquaduct, did archery and a yoga session followed by a sound bath.

A really enjoyable active day at Bryntysilio. Great activities and then relaxed by my first ever sound bath experience. Well organised and thought out with a lovely lunch too.

Adventure day, Brynticylio Outdoor Centre on Saturday. Canoeing, archery fun, yoga, sound bath and plenty of cake along with a lovely buffet lunch. Really enjoyed the activities as well as the company. Left feeling very relaxed.

I've been along to two of Anna's retreats now. Both were thoroughly planned out and organised perfectly. You can tell Anna really gets to know the accommodation and event organisers and plans everything with them to give clients the most relaxing time. It's so important to take time out for wellness and Anna has created the perfect events to be able to do this in an affordable way. Already looking forward to booking something else!

Anna was the perfect host for this Wellness and Walking holiday at Hafren Forest Hideway. She made sure everything ran smoothly and I felt that she was genuinely interested in making sure we were all happy. The accommodation she offered was perfect for a big group and was set in such an idyllic situation that I didn't want to go home. The owners of the Hideway, Sarah and Darren, were impeccable hosts and the food Sarah cooked for us was delicious. They sat with us at meal times and told us about the general area and life in Wales which added to the experience. The activities arranged for us included hiking and SUP and we had qualified guides and instructors which meant that I learnt some new skills whilst still having fun. And finally the girls in the group were very similar in their experience of the outdoors and they were so friendly and so chatty. I haven't had so much fun or laughed so much in ages. Well done all of you.

I absolutely loved every minute of the walking and wellness holiday. Sarah and Darren were so welcoming and such interesting people to talk to. I really loved getting to know them and to be able to enjoy Sarah's delicious home cooking! They have really thought of everything within their accommodation; the rooms are cosy, the beds comfortable, everywhere was absolutely spotless and the living room was a lovely place to relax in and read one of the numerous books available or just to sit around the fire.

I loved the guided hike with Darren and he was so knowledgable of the local area, often stopping to give us an insight into life in mid Wales. He led the group at a nice pace with plenty of opportunity to stop, take photos and enjoy the view. The source of the River Severn was interesting and the walk was really varied with the forest and open moorland. It was such a treat to have a campfire at night too!

The paddleboarding was fabulous and Richard our instructor was so patient and helpful. He even helped lots of us stand up even though it was our first time on the paddleboards. We played some fun games on the mega SUP before enjoying jumping off into the water. Such a fab session - I just wish it would last twice as long!

Thank you for a wonderful little mini break - I had the best time and really hope to return one day again soon!

The Walking and Wellness 2 day break at Hafren Forest was very enjoyable. The accommodation was roomy, the beds were comfortable and everything needed was available. The food provided was beautiful and the welcome we got from Darren and Sarah was lovely. The paddle boarding was a first for me and I was a bit nervous having never done it before. Nerves went out of the window and it was a very enjoyable experience. Lots of laughter and felt very ‘looked after’ for the whole time. Thank you Anna Sarah and Darren.

This holiday gave me the opportunity to escape from daily life and enjoy activities I found both relaxing and invigorating. Having time in nature with other like-minded people was invaluable and the experience has given me the reset I needed. For me the star of the experience was the accommodation, which was comfortable and relaxing but the stunning outdoor location of Hafren Forest as well as the warm welcome we received turned the event into a very special few days.
