Its Sunday this morning stayed in bed longer than usual here on the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate Lit both of the inglenook fires, on at each end of the house, and settled down for breakfast on the huge comfortable sofa pulled up in front of the woodburner in the old kitchen. This is the oldest room in the house and it is also my favourite room for Sunday mornings. it is the original house on the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate. Stone built and dating from the 16th century, it has a massive 3 tier fireplace and a cathedral ceiling. Just settled down with a glass of home made blackcurrant juice made with fruit picked from down in the orchard and about to put a spoon in the porridge when Trevor, the neighbouring farmer from Tre Banau arrived, so quickly finished eating and put the kettle on for him. Trevor keeps us up to speed with the local news as he knows everyone and usually runs by on on his quad bike on Sunday morning for a yarn and a cuppa.

Wales for Scenery

Life on the farm and you holiday cottage

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. While you are enjoying relaxing in your great holiday cottage life on the farm goes on.

Life in Wales


Its a beautiful day here on the Bwlchtrebanau Estate, the birds are singing, nest building and sitting on eggs so there will soon be hatchlings out trying to fly. Seeds planted in the garden are poking there noses up and last night we sneaked into the greenhouse and pinched a few new potatoes for dinner which I must say went down very well. Last night we got our 2 doe’s nesting boxes ready so hopefully we will soon have some little baby rabbits. The Goslings are now out running around in the field loving the freedom and the fresh grass. To see all these why not come stay for a few days and enjoy our lovely countryside, please see Wales Holiday Cottages
