Gyles, Alison and their three children Jasmine, Bethan, Jacob and Ellie the golden retriever welcome you to their small holding in west Wales. They have spent many years holidaying in tents around the UK as well as Europe, Asia and Africa, with many day excursions exploring building camps in the woods, damming rivers and picnicing on remote beaches. It is with this passion, freedom and awe and wonder for the natural world combined with quality comfort and attention to detail that Naturesbase holidays was conceived.
When Gyles isn’t running the small holding and campsite he consults around the country training teachers about the natural world, sustainability and how to teach outside. As a landscape architect and teacher he has spent over 18 years engaging and inspiring pupils, students and teachers in the outdoor environment, designing and advising on the development of school grounds. He also leads groups on expeditions to the remote parts of the world which has influenced many of the ideas around the site.
Alison holds the fort, bakes bread and cakes to die for, is a classical violinist and enjoys adding the finishing touches to what we do. As the resident reflexologist with a fantastic technique she can ensure your relaxing holiday gets a little bit more relaxed.
Ellie our very friendly golden retriever has spent many of her days with large groups of primary school children and is very well-behaved. She is as trustworthy as dogs can be with children, and may visit you during your stay with us. Please do not feed her and if she is in the way please bring her back to the farmhouse or just say ‘basket’ which normally sends her home.
