Wales for Scenery

Today I have been browsing through the internet and there is nothing like Wales for scenery so why not check out this site for your Holiday Cottage

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

Spring is nearly here with all new fresh green leaves appearing on the trees, apple blossom everywhere, birds nesting in fact in the bottom ponds we have some wild Canadian geese nesting along with some wild duck, our own ducks not having fared so well owing to a visit from a fox who managed to get past the electric fence. However we have some baby goslings, one duck, lots of chicken, baby rabbits and new arrivals 2 young piglets so plenty to see at this time of the year so visit and reserve now for a fabulous holiday cottage.

Pheasants and lunch

We have pheasant which roam the estate and some fresh sage languishing in the greenhouse - a perfect combination when roasted, to be served with some parsnip chips cooked in olive oil and carrot batons with a honey glaze, reserve your holiday cottage in Wales.

Florida Anna Maria Island My award for the best tasting locally caught fish on Anna Maria Island has to go to Sea Trout cooked outside on the grill by the pool and served with a crisp salad and some White Mountain bread from Publix grocery store.

Self Catering in Torquay. Local caught dabs fresh from the fishmonger on the high street in nearby Paignton are delicious cooked in a very hot oven for 6 minutes with a knob of butter and served with potatoes dauphinoise sprinkled with some finely chopped rosemary from the West Wing Cottage garden.

Thinking about Florida

The weather is warming up on Anna Maria island with of plenty of sunshine. Visitors will find a friendly welcome and there are some beautiful houses and condos to rent at http://www.amisland.com/

Our last minute visitors in West Wing Cottage enjoyed a weekend away from Stoke on Trent. I phoned in the morning to check they arrived OK as they did not get in until midnight. They say they love the cottage. Westwing Torquay Rental

Take a vacation down by the sea at West Wing Cottage in Torquay. We think it is the prettiest coastal cottage we have seen for a long time and the gardens are beautiful at any time of year.

Lovers of the countryside should stay in our lovely holiday cottages at the Bwlch Tre Banau Estate in glorious Carmarthenshire. Any time of year is good for a visit, but the winter months mean roaring log fires, country walks, lunches at the local pubs and restaurants and relaxation. Bring your dog along with you, it will love exploring the 104 acres of meadows, hillside, woodland and riverbank at your side.

Travelling to Florida from one of the Northern States and want to bring your dog along on the vacation? No problem, bring it along with you. Dogs are welcome at many of our properties. Just make sure you make sure at time of booking to choose a property that is dog friendly. http://www.amisland.com/
