Only 2 hours from London by train, a group of Queenagers will be walking, eating delicious food, enjoying activities both energising and relaxing whilst soaking up the beauty of this extraordinary place.

Wern-y-Cwm is a Grade II-listed ancient Welsh homestead which has been lovingly renovated by a super successful Queenager who sold her business and ploughed her passion into the place where she grew up. Every room is like an art exhibit – one is constructed around an incredible pair of glittery silver heels, another takes a peacock theme with a stunning silver head-board and turquoise and blue furnishings.

So quiet & chilled is this beautiful spot that when NOON Founder Eleanor first visited, she sat down for what was supposed to be 5 minutes on an extraordinary comfy bed and fell asleep for an hour

Owner Laura is a world-renowned designer and it shows wherever you look. She is passionate about recycling, upcycling and bringing things of beauty back to life. We are taking over the whole farm and all its buildings and cottages including the stunning restored barn with its huge fire, beams and stone floor which will be the centre-piece of our retreat. The farmhouse and surrounding buildings have been renovated to an impeccably high standard and beautifully combine all the conveniences of modern life with the roots and history of the land on which it is situated.

The price of our NOON Escapes to the Country retreat includes your stunning room, all food at the farm and a great roster of activities and access to the facilities, including:

• Daily Hatha Yoga with Christine (individual sessions available upon request) – suitable for all levels including beginners
• A relaxing Gong Bath
• A chance to spend 5 days chilling in serenity and beauty, enjoying stunning views and cosy evenings

• Stargazing in the hot tubs
• Meal out at the local Pub, including food**

Wern-y-Cwm is a truly special place, and we know you will fall in love with it as we have. We know that many of you Queenagers are juggling or processing so much – this is a chance to invest in yourself, give yourself a proper break and meet some wonderful Queenagers who will become your friends. The camaraderie and support our in-person events create is unparalleled. By hanging out with other women who are going through similar midlife experiences you will gain so much.
