Reconnect, recharge and rediscover the joy of simple things
If your idea of the perfect getaway includes switching off (literally), then welcome to Erwain Escapes— glamping cabin tucked away in a private river fronted wildflower meadow in rural Carmarthenshire. There’s no WiFi here, no signal bars either—just four acres of nature and all the time in the world.
Whether you’re craving an escape in rural West Wales or simply curious about a screen-free getaway, here are 10 simple ways to relax, unwind and unplug —no scrolling required.
Journal in the Hammock
There’s something calming about writing things down, especially with the sound of the river nearby. Bring a special notebook and use the quiet time to reflect, make plans, or simply jot down whatever comes to mind.
Cooking without the Clock
With no emails to answer or schedules to juggle, cooking becomes a pleasure—not a task. Whip up a leisurely breakfast in the kitchen, try that recipe you’ve been meaning to make, or fire up the BBQ for something simple and satisfying. Then head out to the deck—or the Nook—relax, and savour every bite.
Go Barefoot in the Meadow
Kick off your shoes and feel the grass between your toes. Our wildflower meadow is made for slow moments and sensory resets—no screens, just green.
Board Games by Candlelight
Curl up in the cabin with our collection of classic board games waiting to be enjoyed. Add a glass of local wine and a cosy fire, and you’re set for a relaxed, old-school evening full of laughter.
Stretch and Breathe Outdoors
With yoga mats ready for you, simply arrive with an open mind. Flow gently on the decking or find a quiet spot by the river to move and breathe, letting nature’s peaceful rhythm restore your balance.
Bathing Under Open Skies
Our sunken outdoor bath is a guest favourite for a reason. Whether it’s soaking under the stars at night, enjoying a peaceful sunrise, or unwinding during a glowing sunset, you’ll be surrounded by the meadow’s calming sounds and stunning skies. It’s relaxation at its most indulgent and an experience that feels truly special, any time of day.
Unplug with a Good Book
You’ll find a thoughtful selection of books in the cabin—nature inspired, local interest as well as easy reads. Or bring one you’ve been meaning to start. Whether it’s a lazy morning in bed, curled up by the wood burner or stretched out in the hammock, it’s a gentle way to unwind and sink into the stillness of the meadow.
Wander at Your Own Pace
Step straight into the meadow and let your feet—and curiosity—lead the way. Whether it’s a barefoot stroll through the wildflowers or setting off on one of Carmarthenshire’s walking trails there’s no need for plans or pace—just the joy of being outside.
Make Time for a Creative Pause
Let your mind wander and your hands follow. Whether it’s a quick doodle, a few mindful brushstrokes, or unwinding with our “Happiness & Contentment” colouring book and pencils, there’s something meditative about making art just for the joy of it. You’ll find quiet corners perfect for settling in—at the table, on the deck, or by the river. No pressure, no performance, just the pleasure of being in the moment, surrounded by inspiration.
Savour a Morning Brew on the Deck
With only birdsong for company, your morning cuppa becomes a mindful ritual. Sit back, sip slow, and let the soft light and hillside mist ease you gently into the day. Sometimes the most powerful way to unwind is to do nothing at all and just be.
