✨ Great news for Mid Wales!

Two of our members - Nyth Robin near Aberdovey and Ffynnonwen near Llangrannog - have been featured in The Times and The Sunday Times list of the UK’s most stylish glamping sites.

It’s always a pleasure to see our members recognised on the national stage. At MWT Cymru, part of our role is responding to press enquiries and putting forward opportunities to showcase the brilliant independent businesses that make Mid Wales so special.

👏 Huge congratulations to both businesses - and diolch to our whole community of members who help keep Mid Wales firmly on the map.
