A Proper Catch Up With Your Bestie
Some weeks run on lists and lifts and late-night texts. You keep meaning to have a proper catch up, but life gets in the way. A couple of nights with your best friend in Mid Wales can reset everything. No big plans needed, just time together in a quiet place with wide skies and birds singing overhead.
Why a few days away with a friend helps
Time stretches when you step away from the lists and the school runs.
You make a brew and actually drink it hot.
You can talk about the serious stuff and the silly bits, with no one interrupting.
The belly laughs do you good.
A short break with a friend is simple, real, and kind to your head and your heart.
What it feels like at Coety Bach
Think wood-fired hot tub outside and a big bath inside. Steam, stars, no rush. The log burner is on, slippers by the door, kettle ready. It is a two-person, adults-only cabin, calm and private. There is no wifi and no TV, and there is good mobile signal, so you can keep in touch with family if you need to, or switch your phone off and settle into the peace. You are in Wales, with open views, bird song in the mornings, and that easy feeling that comes when you slow down.
Easy ideas for your friend time
Bring a favourite bottle, bubbles in the tub, chats till the steam fades.
Read the same book, then swap thoughts by the fire.
Keep food easy, something you can pop in the oven while you put the world to rights.
Slow mornings. Robes, coffee, no alarms, just the birds.
Gentle things to do nearby
Potter in Llandrindod Wells or Builth Wells, then head back for the fire.
Take a slow drive to the Elan Valley for big skies and a simple picnic.
On a clear night, stargaze from the warmth of the hot tub.
When life is busy, family and work are full on. Time with friends slips. Planning a little friends’ getaway, even two nights, brings that friendship back to the centre. It is not indulgent. It is care.
Good to know
Coety Bach is a two-person, adults-only cabin just outside Llandrindod Wells, Powys. It suits a friends’ catch up as much as a couple’s escape. Pack comfy layers and shoes you can walk in if you fancy venturing out into the hills.
