Over the Rainbow Wales – Vegetarian Country Retreat

A Secluded Vegetarian & Vegan country house retreat, Cardigan Bay

A restored Georgian mansion tucked away down a long farm track. Three miles from the pristine west Wales coast, nestled amongst acres of woodland and gardens with idyllic views across the rolling Welsh countryside. A warm welcome awaits you at Over the Rainbow.

What do we offer?

You can stay B&B for some well earned time out, or hire the venue exclusively for small group holidays, residential retreats, family celebrations and wedding receptions.  Enjoy a relaxed stay in a country house, where you can completely unwind and relax just watching the stars and listening to the silence.

We offer well appointed, sumptuous centrally heated bedroom accommodation including single, double or twin ensuite rooms, with décor reflecting influences of female myths & legends from around the world. Guests also have use of a communal guest lounge / library and large dining room.

We also offer space for retreats and groups. The seclusion and peace of the house lends itself well to retreats, courses and workshops. An inspiring and creative space, practical for movement workshops. An intimate, cosy yet spacious house, homely and practical whilst retaining the quirks of a bygone age.

The retreat is run on ethical and environmentally responsible principles. We use renewable sources for heating, hot water and electricity; we also source much of our produce locally and from our own garden and polytunnels. We are members of Green Key Global, Greentraveller, endorsed by the Vegetarian Society and have been awarded Gold standard by Green Tourism Association.

We also offer a number of events, retreats and themed weekends each year. Check out our Events page, you can also sign up for our e-newsletter to keep up to date with forthcoming events. (Your contact details are kept secureley and never shared them with any third parties. You can un-subscribe at any time.)

Over the Rainbow is normally open for B&B from 1st April to late October each year, but 2024 will be our last year of operating as a B&B so will not be taking any bookings for  2025.

Oh gosh loves ♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️every blessing on your new venture wherever it takes you both. This place is so extraordinary and special & you’ve poured love into it….it will surely continue to flourish xxxx

Gosh. The end of an era is coming. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Michael Burton 🤔 we must go here before it sells. Didn't realise it was still open 🙈

Love this beautiful place ❤️

Oh, this sounds like the end of an era! I have such good memories of belly dance weekends.

I need to pay a last visit! Such a beautiful place, you have worked so hard to get it to what it is today, I have said to Ali that we should come down, the problem is getting a time when you are there and we can both make it! We need to do this Ali! Xx

I have such wonderful memories of belly dance workshops and weekends here . Met some wonderful people and made friends. Cherry Walker ...we met here... remember? Xx

Oh wow. I would be sorely tempted to consider moving back across the pond and consider a career change depending on the price. Not sure we could make it back for a visit before you put it up for sale. Hopefully you are staying close and retiring gracefully.

Oh nooo Marie and Rose, I can’t believe it ! You have done incredible things this special place xxx Diane Smith xx 😙

Those of you who have stayed here at Over the Rainbow will no doubt remember the beautiful artwork by Gloria Ojulari Sule. The Black Angel series adorning the ballroom walls and the stunning mural of Goddess Oya in the bedroom of the same name.
As we say a heartfelt goodbye for now to our talented sister Glo, we are thankful for what she has left behind for us to enjoy.Image attachmentImage attachment+1Image attachment
