Visit to the palace, wet & windy in Whitesands and Scrabble & Pool at The Farmers! (St. Davids Pembrokeshire PART 2)

View from bathroom at Cwtch Cottages

So part 2 of my visit to St. Davids Pembrokeshire is a little late but felt an urge to update you lovely folk on this beautiful part of the country.  Now many of you maybe thinking this time of the year a little 'holiday' should only be in the sun drinking sangria and San Miguels but you really do need to consider the beauty of this country.
Our little trip to St. Davids most certainly took us out of our comfort zone and made us do things we certainly wouldn't consider doing at home and not typical of a holiday abroad.

Here is what the rest of our weekend entailed:

Cwtch Cottages 'Best Home' in St. Davids, Pembrokeshire!

Well, where do I start!  A lovely weekend in St.Davids Pembrokeshire and I must say a BIG THANKYOU to Rachael of Cwtch Cottages for letting us use her beautiful cottages.  I'm probably going to have to write a few blogs to cover our weekend, the things we did and places we went to.  Considering it was a 2 night stay and the weather was a little on the wet & windy side we still managed to squeeze in lots!

So, let's start with this cottage that I've been going on about... firstly, the word cottage has always suggested 'old fashioned' to me - which, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with old fashioned but being a 'thirty something' a girl likes a few home luxuries, like a bit of Wi-fi to feed ye olde Facebook addiction!  How would I describe Cwtch Cottages?  Traditional, with a modern twist!  

Here is how our weekend started...

What a corker of a deal - Day 1 at Bluestone Resort, Wales

I couldn't believe my eyes back in December when I woke up to a Facebook post from Bluestone - the £99 Inclusive deal...  I read with what can only be described as astonishment as to what they were offering:

• 4 night stay in their 5* accommodation
• PLUS breakfast for 2 for the full stay
• PLUS dinner for 2 for the full stay
• PLUS half a bottle of wine each for the full stay
• PLUS free entry into the thermal rooms for the full duration

I honestly thought it was too good to be true as I've stayed at Bluestone twice before and would have easily paid £99 for just the accommodation.  I booked anyway and had confirmation of this amazing deal.  And to clarify, it was £99 for the BOTH of us and not a 'per person' price!!! Bargain!

Having my hair pulled & face slapped by a 6ft Spaniard has inspired me to start blogging again!

Firstly, welcome back to those of you who are already subscribed to my blog - it's been a while since I wrote here but as the title suggests I've been inspired.  

Secondly, welcome to all of my visitors.  I'm sure you're expecting something pretty normal from me?  I'll explain. But before I do...apologies to those of you who've seen the title of my blog on one of my social networks and clicked through to discover that my blog is somewhat different to what you may be thinking!!! (Got your attention though didn't it!)

Trip Advisor has worked for me...

I've been working with Tourism businesses for a little while now (in relation to their online presence) and one key theme has been how much they DON'T like Trip Advisor - negative reviews, fake reviews from competitors and pretty much a bad taste in most businesses mouths. 

So I decided to put it to the test. 

B is for Bluestone, Pembrokeshire March 2012

Paid a visit to Bluestone Resort in March 2012 after discovering a cracking deal on their Facebook page!

Highly recommended! And would certainly subscribe to their Facebook page too!
