Welsh singer-songwriter Charlotte Church's vision of opening a retreat called The Dreaming at Rhydoldog House has become a reality having now achieved full planning permission. Cardiff-born Charlotte fell in love with the Elan Valley property and its surrounding land that includes ancient woodland that was once the home of renown Welsh fashion and interior designer Laura Ashley.
She purchased the property, near Rhyadar, Powys, in 2020.
