in such delightful and peaceful surroundings in which to tour and
explore. We also appreciated all consideration and without any disruption
from the neighboring farmer. Refreshing and good to see the long
awaited normality returning to the farming area. The Dylan Thomas
poster (displayed in the hallway) with his reminiscence of his past
is conveyed to all and 'speaks' for itself for lovers of the countryside.
We hope to return again to enjoy" Frank and Betty from Shropshire

"So we end our weeks contraction,
Where everything gave satisfaction,
We knew for certain, it was no illusion,
The cottage's quiet and seclusion,
These are the memories we'll take away,
Of Gower, Oxwich and Rhossili Bay,
Of surging falls on foam flecked river,
Of mountain moorland where shorn-sheep shiver,
O f castle ruins in sudden rain -
We forgive you Wales - we'll come again!"
by Cynthia and Ernest from Portsmouth

and although we don't live very far we found the countryside of
the Vale of Neath was far more beautiful than we had realised. The
cottage was a perfect base and the maps, walks, tourist information
and Richard's book were very much appreciated. The selection of
books, videos and games was excellent and Huw especially enjoyed
them. The blackberries were a bonus, we have been eating them all
week and we have some to take home to save for Christmas Day. We
will think of you when we are eating our blackberry and apple tart,
no doubt wishing we were at Bwthyn Y Saer and we are looking forward

pilgrimage to visit relatives - weather dreadful most of the time
