Went on the Wales.com walk and we ended up in a bog, laughed till we nearly wet ourselves. Cam back and had the best Xmas dinner ever. Oh, and Paige really pleased as Santa did come. Day III. Started off at Black Mountain in Brecon Beacons after a cooked breakfast. Went to see and stand under Henrhyd Falls (Big Waterfall). That was amazing. Had a traditional Boxing Day dinner and slept like logs. Day IV Went to the Mumbles and Langland Bay where Julie stayed on a school trip some twenty years ago. We are so sad we have to go home tomorrow. It has been a fantastic Christmas in Wales. Hope we have reated your home with respect as we love it.x” Hazel, Julie, Paige & Teddy from London

“That’s it! Done the four holiday cottages at last and Y Stabl is our favourite. Very comfortable as ever. Walked to Sgwd Gwladys near Pntneddfechan again and over the dunes from Kenfig to Sker Beach – lovely. Took Mum shopping in Lampeter – nothing much left there. Much better in Llandeilo. Treid the Cardamon in Herbert Street, Pontardawe, but the Indian Cottage is better al round so went there too! Also visited Carreg Cennen (again) in a howling gale, unmissable for the prospect, hospitality and bird watching – woodpecker and skylarks. We love your cottages and will be back many times. P.S. Ospreys are rubbish, still stick to Aberavon!” Cath, Keith & Christopher, Port Talbot and Northampton
