After a hectic few months – finishing work after 10pm most evenings and then finding ourselves too tired to do anything other than flop, zombie-like, onto the sofa – Chris and I started May longing for a break. So, when Dorian Bowen of The Welsh House asked if we’d like to spend a weekend at Bryncyn, one of his three remote Carmarthenshire holiday cottages, we leapt at the chance. Last Friday . . .
Swain House | Somerset
A few weeks ago Chris and I spent a night at swish Somerset B&B Swain House - a handy stopover on a weekend-long, West-Country-wide hunt for our perfect wedding venue.
