Wild HavenÂ
Renew
September 2027
Three nights to pause. Space to breathe. Time to renew.
An opportunity to slow down, step outside the usual routines and reconnect with what matters to you.
The Retreat
As summer gives way to autumn, the equinox offers a natural moment to pause and take stock. Wild Haven | Renew is a luxurious, fully catered three-night retreat set in the beautiful surroundings of Eryri national park, created for those who need time away from the demands of work and everyday life.​ Over three nights, you'll have the chance to step away from the noise, breathe a little more deeply and gain some perspective. To replenish your energy, reconnect with yourself and others, and consider what you want to carry forward into the season ahead.
Set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings, your weekend will combine luxury accommodation, nourishing food, nature, gentle outdoor activity, creativity, coaching and quiet time.
The Venue
Set in the heart of Eryri National Park, Tan Llan is a beautifully restored Grade II listed country house surrounded by mountains, valleys and dramatic Welsh landscape.
​
The historic house combines original 18th-century character with stylish contemporary interiors and spacious, luxurious accommodation. Alongside the Main House, the beautifully converted Coach House provides further peaceful accommodation.
​
The house offers 8 bedrooms: a luxury master suite, 4 further double ensuite rooms (2 in the main building and 2 in the coach house annex, one of which is a small double), and 3 double rooms with shared house bathroom. One of these can be arranged as a twin if required eg if booking with a friend. All rooms are sold on a single occupancy basis unless requested otherwise.Â
​
The beautiful grounds include extensive lawns, mature woodland, and the river Mawddach runs at the end of the garden. There are multiple living areas, several with cosy fires, and plenty of nooks to snuggle with a book. Or perhaps you would prefer a dip in the river, time in the sauna with open views across the grounds, a stroll in the garden or to explore further afield. Â
​
​With Cader Idris rising beyond the gardens and nature quite literally on the doorstep, Tan Llan feels wonderfully secluded. As summer gives way to autumn, Tan Llan offers the perfect setting for Wild Haven | Renew: somewhere beautiful to settle into a restorative weekend away from everyday life.
The Location
Tucked away in the heart of Eryri National Park, Tan Llan is surrounded by mountains, valleys and beautiful Welsh countryside. Just two miles from the charming town of Dolgellau, it feels wonderfully secluded while still being easy to reach.
With Cader Idris rising dramatically beyond the gardens and the River Mawddach flowing at the end of the garden, the landscape is part of the experience from the moment you arrive. There are walks and outdoor adventures on the doorstep, but this retreat is designed to be enjoyed at a slower pace — and you won't need to go far.
Much of our time will be spent at Tan Llan itself: enjoying the beautiful house and gardens, sharing meals, spending time outdoors, relaxing by the fire, and making the most of the peaceful surroundings.
There will be opportunities to explore further afield for those who want to, but equally, you can spend the whole weekend simply settling into the house, enjoying the landscape and giving yourself permission to do very little.
It is a place where the pace naturally slows, the views invite you to look a little further, and there is space to breathe.
An opportunity to slow down, step outside the usual routines and reconnect with what matters to you.

Your host
My name is Emily Hurst. I have been an NHS doctor for over 15 years, and I understand both the rewards and challenges that can come with working in a caring profession.
​
Having experienced burnout, stress, anxiety, bereavement and periods of questioning my own sense of purpose, I understand how easy it can be to keep going while losing sight of what you need yourself. For me, nature became an important place to pause—a place where fresh air, movement and space helped me think more clearly and simply be.
​
These experiences have shaped my passion for creating Wild Haven—a space where people, particularly those working in caring professions, can step away from the pressures of the workplace and daily life to connect with others who understand. I am passionate about helping people navigate the challenges, changes and decisions that life and work can bring.
Â
You will often find me outdoors. Spending time in nature has become an important part of how I look after my own wellbeing. I love kayaking, canoeing, hiking, skiing, playing tennis and swimming. I'm a novice knitter and watercolour painter, and also a keen musician; I enjoy playing a variety of musical instruments—another way I find creativity, connection and space away from the demands of everyday life.
