September has been divine at the Bwlch Tre Estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ the pale morning sunlight illuminates the view down over the hillside to the valley below and out to the Black Mountains on the far horizon. Down in the orchad it is full of apples, pears, damsons and plums. Fat, juicy yellow and red raspberries are growing in profusion. Guests staying in Wheatsheaf Cottage, Barley Cottage and Meadow barn are invited to pick some for their supper

The English Riviera is equally enjoying some superb weather. You can rent the west wing of a beautiful 1923 Lutyens influenced mansion house right on the seafront with half an acre of elegant private lawns gardens for your own use http://www.torquay.uk.com/

Over on Anna Maria Island the beaches are peaceful, the pelicans are diving gracefully into the Gulf, and the sandpipers run in and out of the gentle surf that laps the sands.

No blogs recently as we have had a really busy Summer here in the beautiful Bwlch Tre Banau Estate. Guests have enjoyed the cottages and left some lovely comments in the visitor books - it is really helpful to have feedback and find out what they have particularly enjoyed during their visit. The main comment is that they love the cottages and are absolutely amazed at the beauty of the situation and the views.

The property West Wing Cottage http://www.torquay.uk.com/ is also receiving rave reviews - again the situation and views are unsurpassed, albeit this time of the calm waters of Torbay on the English Riviera.

On the Carmarthenshire estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ the apples and pears are ripening in the orchard, the blackberries in the hedgerows are plump and juicy and the plums have been made into some delicious preserves. The new geese in the meadow are growing rapidly, they are only 5 weeks old and already are larger than the chickens. Hillsides are dotted with this Spring's lambs, now grown fat and happy on the summer grasses.

Anytime now is mushroom gathering season, so we will be searching all the meadows for field mushrooms.

http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ Summer is here! The infrequency of the blogs has been caused by some marvellous weather here in Carmarthenshire. I have been out and about on the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate enjoying the scenery and the sunshine. Yesterday we relaxed in the garden and were serenaded by the birds, the distant lazy hum of the bees in the Catoniasta by the pond and the smell of new mown grass - there is nothing better in this world. A few clouds drifted by the the azure blue skies and Stripe and Spot lazed in the shade.

Love the West Country? If you enjoy Devon and in particular the incredibly beautiful South Hams area try http://www.torquay.uk.com/ our newly opened West Wing of a 1923 mansion house. Half an acre of private garden to enjoy perched on the top of a cliff on the edge of the crystal waters of Torbay.

What a superb morning, the sun is streaming in through the window. Guests arrived at Wheatsheaf Cottage yesterday and I took them over some new laid eggs for their breakfast this morning. Today Ann & Robbie are travelling up from the westcountry for a little R & R. If the weather stays like this there is nowhere better in the world than The Bwlch Tre Banau Estate in Carmarthenshire.

We came back from Devon last weekend and spent time working on the grounds, the orangery and the greenhouses. Everything is growing -shrubs are bursting into flower, the roses and the grapevines are in leaf and climbing and there were two beautiful black & white wagtails cavorting in the courtyard in the sunshine yesterday. What a terrific place, it never fails to amaze me.

Talking of Devon, down in Torquay http://www.torquay.uk.com/ the weather was sunny and warm and the sea sparkled in the bay. Sailboats and tiny fishing boats dot the water. Although I say Carmarthenshire is divine, the South Hams area of Devon also enjoys superb scenery and the views from the West Wing Cottage are panoramic - looking out over the crystal blue waters of the bay from the seafront gardens is an experience not be be missed.

Over in Florida hibiscus are starting to bloom in the gardens http://www.amisland.com/ the pool heating will be switched off and the weather is really starting to warm up. Pelicans and white cranes are seen on the beaches and soon will be the start of the loggerhead turtle seasons. Nature really is amazing on the island - sea grapes, palms and sea grasses fringe the beach and boaters are out in the intercoastal and the Gulf of Mexico enjoying the sunshine.

The carp pond is fed by spring water and at this time of year the water iris are starting to grow around the edge, protecting the fish from the heron. They should be starting to come to the surface soon to feed. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ The pond is also home to a myriad of wildlife including a couple of frogs who languish in the shallows enjoying the spring sunshine. When you walk by they hide under the nearest stone or just freeze, thinking that you can't see them if they don't move, floating suspended in the water.

Down at Torquay http://www.torquay.uk.com/ the driveway has just been repaved with brindle pavers and it is lined with daffodils, shrubs and trees emerging from Winter into Spring. The lawns are greening and the flowers in the borders appearing. I never fail to be bowled over by the expansive view of the water that unfolds as you walk through the French windows onto the terrace.

On Anna Maria Island in Florida http://www.amisland.com/ it is time for the white flamingos to arrive in the bay. They don't stay around for long and the flock is an incredible sight to see. Take aboat trip with Captain Don Meilmer out around the island and explore the intracoastal waterway. Ask him to take along a barbeque grill and cookout on a sandy beach or small island. Just pick up a few steaks, a salad and some crusty white mountain bread and you have a feast to enjoy in the sunshine. Washed down with a cold beer or a glass of Californian wine, this is outdoor dining at its best. Anna Maria Island is all about the sunshine and the water.

Choosing a holiday by the sea or in the countyside need not be an issue. Spend some time in both places http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ Carmarthenshire is home to 3 holiday rental cottages near the Brecon Beacons is South Wales. Easy access from the motway and set in stunning countryside with unsurpassed views.

For unrivalled sunshine and a relaxed and friendly environment http://www.amisland.com/ you cannot beat Anna Maria Island on Florida's west coast. Fly direct to Tampa. The island lies in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico just off the coast and is accessed by either of 2 bridges from the mainland.

Torquay's premier vacation rental, The West Wing Cottage http://www.torquay.uk.com/ has one of the best positions on the South Devon coastline.

http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ Our guests have been enjoying some really good weather recently. All the trees and shrubs have been bursing into bud and house sparrows are nesting in the eaves. I thought the swallows had arrived early but on closer inspection it turned out to be the sparrows. We have been clearing out the wood store and I sorted out some chunks of oak that had been trimmed off when making large beams. We used them on the fire last night and the heat they throw out is enormous. Nothing like relaxing in front of a glowing wood fire at the end of a busy working day.

For your holdiay in Wales

The sun is shining on the swathe of golden daffodils that line the driveway. Yesterday we sorted out the raspberry canes and weeded around the gooseberry and blackcurrants. The grass is growing in the parkland to whizzed around with the large drive on mower. There is nowhere prettier in the UK than Bwlch Tre Banau and its great holiday cottages - glorious to be out in the sunshine.

http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

This morning the sun is shining so it is a great morning to take a look at the gardens to see what needs doing after the winter. I still have some snowdrops in the large stone trough by the back door, although it is pretty shady there because of the year round clematis growing over the pergola. The first show of daffodils lines the drive and, when they are over, a second wave will emerge taking us right through to April.

The ducks, chickens and eggs that roam in the meadow have started laying. It seems a bit early but it must be the result of the fantastic couple of weeks of bright and sunny weather we have just experienced, getting nature off to a quick start this year. During Spring at Bwlch Tre Banau it is fun to watch everything spring to life - birds starting to nest in the hedgerows and trees and fullsome pink blossom on the peach trees in the greenhouse.

The orangery http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/the-orangery.html is the perfect place to unwind at the weekend with the newspapers, a good book or some sudoko. For computer buffs we now have really fast satellite broadband in the cottages so while on holiday you can keep in touch with friends, family and business. Isn't modern life great, you can be in a haven of peace and tranquility but still make sure everything in your life runs smoothly and efficiently while you are away. Real freedom.

When you make a reservation at The Bwlch Tre Banau Estate near the Brecon Beacons in one of Listed Heritage's delightful cottages http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ don't miss a visit to nearby Llandeilo. I was there yesterday and its winding streets are dotted with an eclectic collection of small shops, restaurants, coffee shops and galleries. One of Wales prettiest towns by far with a far reaching history, Llandeilo is a great place to splend a few hours. Stroll down to see the river, visit National Trust properties, enjoy a first class lunch and take home some naughty chocolate treats from the little chocolate boutique on the main street. Explore the back streets to find more very small individual shops of every type and description. Its rare to find such a gem. Don' miss it when you stay at Wheatsheaf Cottage, Meadow Barn or Barley Cottage http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/the-properties.html

At the moment we have primroses, daffodils, snowdrops and crocus emerging around the estate. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/the-estate-views.html The pink heather on the rockery is in flower. The sunshine over the past couple of weeks has signalled the start of spring, but a sharp frost will nip it back a bit if it occurs. Wales is beautiful in the Spring. Lambs gambol in the fields and hillsides, the hawks, kestrels and red kites swoop overhead in the sky and the verdant rolling hills stretch out towards the Brecon Beacons. Often the very highest peaks in the Beacons have a light dusting of snow. We have been really busy preparing another delightful holiday cottage right on the bayfront at south Devon’s beautiful and elegant resort of Torquay http://www.torquay.uk.com/

The sun is shining, yesterday we cut the grass in February. The Bwlch Tre Estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ is the place to stay in Carmarthenshire to enjoy the rural idyll. Superb views and planty of places to visit. Try the National Trust properties at Dinfawr and Dolacothi, visit castles of legend, drive down to the Mumbles on South Wales gorgeous coastline.

We have been away for a while. Arriving at Bwlch Tre Banau is always such a pleasure. The first wave of daffodils are out at the top of the drive - Wordsworth would have been impressed, we have a swathe of daffodils that stretches from the top to the bottom of the main entranceway.

Guests staying in Wheatsheaf Cottage have a delightful little dog named Frank that Spot and Stripe are completely besotted with. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

We have been very busy finishing our new property down on Devon's beautiful coast. It is direct seafront on a headland and has a huge south facing garden overlooking the water. Steps lead down to the waters edge and it has a lookout! Amazing, it is going to be so popular with our guests. Check it out at http://www.torquay.uk.com/
Although it is brand new, the design and atmosphere of The West Wing Cottage is reminiscent of the languid atmosphere of the gorgeously decadent 1920s. Oak trim from the owner's private estate in Carmarthenshire, quarter sawn American oak wide plant flooring in the living area, blonde maplewood flooring specially imported from Canada in the bedrooms together with bathrooms courtesy of Sanitan, purveyors of some of the finest fixtures available in the world today, combine to make this a property a seafront delight.
Combined with the serenely peaceful position, gardens and lawns extending out towards the sea, the attention to detail in West Wing Cottage will make you want to return again and again. Long lazy summer days gazing out over the water, croquet on the lawn, picnics on th waters edge and fishing off the rocks. Sit out on the lookout at sunset with a glass of wine and watch the sky and the sea light up with spectacular colours..

Another scattering of snow this morning, followed by plenty of sunshine. The sky was so blue and clear it reminded us of Switzerland up on top of the banc this afternoon. Stripe and Spot played in the snow as we sat on the bench at the top of the scenic overlook enjoying the panoramic views out towards the snow covered Brecon Beacons that stretch the length of the horizon to the south. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

The weather forecast is for a blanket of snow over the country in the next couple of days. We have plenty of firewood and food and intend to hunker down for a couple of days and really enjoy it. Hot chocolate by the fire, walks through the snow with the dogs along the many paths around the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate. We aim to take some photos for the web site - Carmarthenshire is divine at this time of year, with the backdrop of the really high ground of the Brecon Beans dusted with snow in the distance the landscape cannot be beaten. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

Received a postcard from Al on Anna Maria Island, Florida - he says the weather is warm and he has been sailing in Anna Maria Sound. http://www.amisland.com/

The forecast says that we are in for some bright sunny spells today. The orangery is looking wonderful, we have lightly pruned the citrus trees and so they do not grow too large and all the plants are thriving. Last night we had a feast of oranges by the fireside - freshly picked oranges have a far more delicate texture than those in the shops. The guests in Barley Cottage arrived yesterday afternoon and said that they think it is beautiful - it's really rewarding to hear that others love the place as much as we do. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

Yesterday morning we went round to the log shed with the RTV an stocked up on logs for the cottages. We stacked them under the stairs in each cottage with a liberal supply of lighting wood and firelights. Our guests love their fires. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ In the countryside, one of our real pleasures is going out for a walk in all weathers and then getting back by the fireside for a warm up and a cup of our favourite hot chocolate, coffee or tea. Talking of coffee, we roast our own coffee beans and have an ancient coffee grinder that perfectly prepares the beans for expresso or cappuccino. Another indulgence, but a simple one that to us makes life here at Bwlch Tre Banau such a great experience. This morning we are off out to Orangery for a quick polish up (hopefully the Robin that resides in there has been not too messy. If you are lucky he will fly down and perch on a handrail and give you a stirring song - he is quite fascinating, not in the least shy.

Having put on a few pounds (or kilos) over the festive season, yesterday we set off to walk down through the orchard, into the woodland that lines the River Mynnidd. I have not been down on the tree lined riverbank walk for a while and had forgotten just how beautiful it is in Winter with its series of little waterfalls, soft bright green mosses, evergreen holly and multi-coloured fungi. Definitely a job for wellingtons as it is a little boggy in places. That is a job for the 2009 calendar - improving the access. We scampered up the bank half a mile further upstream where the so called "wicked witch" lives in a log cabin on the other side of the riverbank. Actually Stripe and Spot scampered and we lagged behind a little. Walking back through the meadows, chatting and revelling in the views out to the Brecon Beacons we decided that there is no place on this earth more beautiful than the 104 acres that make up the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/. We have more guests arriving this week in Barley Cottage and Wheatsheaf Cottage. Amanda has cleaned and polished them from top to bottom, made up the beds with fresh linens; Bob and I have stocked them up with firewood & lighting wood for the woodburners. I will just nip in to them today for a final check to make sure they are absolutely perfect.

Travelling down to Swansea for a meeting this morning so we will be going to Patrick's for lunch, a divine little restaurant on the seafront in The Mumbles. The food is delicious, innovative and a real treat for the senses, the views out over the bay divine and the service friendly and efficient. I never really want to leave the estate, so it takes something special to entice me away gracefully. We don't use the main roads, but turn off at Llangadog, through some beautiful countrysde and drive right over the top of the hills - great fun and a real change of scene. On the way back, we whizz home on the motorway via Crosshands, through Llandeilo and then Porthyrhyd and the much beloved Bwlch Tre Banau Estate. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

I was in the courtyard tidying after the wind blew some dead leaves around and the robin who has taken up residence perched on the end of the wheelbarrow and watched me for a while. He sings beautifully. I left him out some food as a reward, a little rolled barley from the hen house.

It is nearly 10am, the sun is shining, Spot and Stripe want to go for a walk over the Banc and I am on my computer catching up on my blog. Therefore this is going to be short - fresh air, plenty of walks and after the excesses of Christmas and New Year, simple good foods - Welsh lamb, free range poultry, eggs from chickens that roam in the meadow, loads of fresh fruit and vegetables. I will try not to bake fresh bread every day, although it is so good to come down the stairs in the morning to the aroma of a fresh baked loaf. Scenery over calories! http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

today I have been browsing through the internet, getting an update on all the things to do in the South Wales area, particularly Carmarthenshire. Here on the Bwlch Tre Banau estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/, we are so happy to be here that we rarely venture out on trips - so when we do it has to be pretty special. We did enjoy a day trip to Tenby recently and another to Dylan Thomas' boat house down on the coast.

Had to travel back to Torquay in Devon. On the way back up to the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate we took the turning off the M4 marked Cwmbran. This route takes you through spectacular scenery, passing through the delightful small town of Crickhowell and on toward Brecon and then Llandovery. The alternative route we take is the turning off the M4 marked Merthyr Tydfil, making towards Brecon and turning off at Defynogg towards Llandovery. That route presents you with another of Wales most stunning views out towards over the Brecon Beacons. Either way it is a memorable experience. It is jut amazing how when you leave the motorway the traffic just ceases and drifting along through tranquil roads is just such a great experience compared with the rest of the UK. We love Welsh hospitality, the peaceful existence and scenery second to none. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

The weather is due to start to warm up a little today




Temperatures are still down to 3 degrees today and it will be sunny and bright, so it will be great day to go down to Llandeilo. There is marvellous kitchen gadget shop down there and I need some new peelers and some replacements for the holiday cottages. We continually check that the cottages are fully stocked with everything our guests need in order to have a perfect vacation. Linens and the very best quality 100% cotton sateen with a thread count of over 400, the neatly folded piles of white towels are thick, fluffy and pillows are continually replaced. Our aim is to make guests feel comfortable and relaxed: we aim to spoil them a little while they are guests of the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate. They will then want to return again and again to experience Carmarthenshire's hospitality. Nestled on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, our views are to die for and with high standards and comfort as our priority it is definitely the perfect choice for a countryside sojourn. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

This morning yet another light snow, making the landscape look for all the world as if it has been dusted with icing sugar. Taking the trail to the top of the bank is rewarded by the most spectacular views; tiny cottages and patchwork quilts of farmsteads litter the landscape against the dramatic backdrop of the Brecon Beacons. The Bwlch Tre Banau Estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ is nestled high in the Carmarthenshire hills in a sheltered spot shielded by a high banc. Opening out into a courtyard, the cottages are warm and cosy and there is a plentiful supply of logs for the woodburners for crackling log firs to warm you on your return.

I spoke to Sarah last night to check that all was well during her stay at The Bwlch Tre Banau Estate. She said that the family really enjoyed their time at the cottage once again and that they will definitely be back. There was a slight sprinkling of snow on New Year's Eve which added to the enjoyment. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

It is snowing! Hope to wake up in the morning to a dusting of snow over the Carmarthenshire hills. The landscape as far as you can see covered with crisp white frosty crystals - stunning. Can't wait to see it tomorrow. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/

Yesterday was one of those clear, sparkling sunny days with a frosty start. The views are tremendous, looking out over the valley and over to the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons. Christmas and New Year passed in a flurry of country walks, huge log fires, plenty of festive food including a goose reared on the Estate that was cooked to perfection. Sarah and her family arrived for a last minute stay in Barley Cottage; the children loved the 4-poster bed. It also has a large master suite with a 6ft wide king size bed and a third bedroom with twin beds. Each bedroom has an en-suite and the open plan kitchen living area is beamed and has a wood burner for toasty evenings around the fire. http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/
