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:

We'll be back, it's written in (blue) stone!

What a truly brilliant week at Bluestone, Pembrokeshire!   Even though this has been my third visit in 3 years this was definitely the best so far!  As you might have seen in my post earlier in the week I was astonished by the bargain I'd managed to bag myself as a result of a Facebook post.  And I'll be honest, I really couldn't understand how they could offer so much for so little.... I now do!  I've had a taste of what a Bluestone Inclusive package is like, I'm hooked and we'll def be wanted to do that next time.  There will most definitely be a next time as it's written in blue stone (credit to my partner for coming up with that one - yep, he made me write that bit!)

I've been wanting to get a picture like this for 3 years now!
Here are my recommendations for visiting Bluestone for us Thirty Somethings:

Bluestone, boobies & takeaways! Day 2

It's now approaching the end of my stay at Bluestone but still feel the need to update you folk with the rest of my stay which continued to offer lots of little surprises.  Bit of a disclaimer here, for those of you that know me you'll know I get excited about the most basic of things, so for those newbies, if you're expecting fireworks then I suggest you leave now!!! ;-) ( Mind you, I do mention 'Boobies' 6 times hence the reason I've included it in my blog title - although it does sound more like a Carry On film with Barbara Windsor)


The Well Spa
So, after one of the best sleeps at the lodge I was very much looking forward to my trip to the spa for a relaxing day!  Something which, on my previous 2 occasions didn't go so well.  From those experiences, my main advice is to book in advance to avoid disappointment - luckily I booked well in advance for a nice leisurely 90 minute massage! (Whilst I've hopefully still got everyone's attention, I must add that after visiting numerous spas around Wales this really is my favourite as there are plenty of choices at the spa - treatments, areas & menu! - skip to the end for my top tips)

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!
