“Over the past decade, everyone from designer Martin Brudnizki to writer Alain de Botton has escaped to Bryn Eglur to recharge their batteries. Just a 15-minute drive from the west Wales coast, this restored ruin marries fully detached privacy with tradition you can feel (many of the interior details date back to 1755). Owner Dorian Bowen jokes that while he offers guests bountiful guides to the local area, their feedback at the end is often the same – most rarely leave the site, instead choosing to laze around with the doors open listening to the birds, meditating in the secret gardens and nuzzling their happy dogs.”

Selfie of the day!

Phil and Linda are staying in the showman’s wagon at Trehilyn, and who restored the wagon popped in to say Hi. Thanks Griff for the 'selfie'!

The renovation of the wagon was a 'job and a half', involving a structural rebuild and restoration. To protect it from the elements the vehicle now sits in a huge timberframe shed, with glazed doors looking across the farmyard and gardens.

Griff and family have restored the whole Trehilyn farm - see all the properties at http://www.underthethatch.co.uk/trehilyn

Y Bragdy. At first glance one might be forgiven for wondering why the ‘A frame’ in the kids’ bedroom at Y Bragdy hasn’t been cut or modified to add headroom. But the story here is that it’s the original oak cruck from the house – dendrochronologically dated, so we know for sure that the tree was felled in 1498. Adults have to duck to get under as they enter the room, but Ned and Sophie have added a linen cushion to soften any occasional accidents. The history of the building hasn’t been compromised for modern convenience – that’s why it says Under the Thatch.

Twlch moch yn Sain Ffagan, ail-adeladwyd tu ôl ffermdy Kennixton.

A traditional Welsh pigsty with drystone corbelled roof, structurally akin to early medieval buildings seen in Wales and Ireland
