Some days I want to walk in woodland, other days on a beach and sometimes just in open spaces. Luckily round here we're spoilt for choice with all of those options.

A ancient woodland that's close to us with fabulous trails through is Ty Canol where there is a nature reserve. It's not far from Pentre Ifan, the burial mound and you can easily include both in your walk.

Tbh, the first time we went to Ty Canol with friends and our dogs we were 2 hours longer than planned because we got lost 🤣🤣 It's not that difficult to navigate but we let the guys decide where to go! 🤦‍♀️🤣

It's not a hardship though to spend extra time in this beautiful, mystical place and in the weather we've been having it's nice to be somewhere shaded with streams for the dogs to cool off in.

What's your favourite? Beach, Woodland or Open sky? 🌊 🌳 🌞

Are you glad that things have cooled down a bit? and that it's finally rained?

I've heard some people feeling sorry about the disappearance of the guaranteed sunshine but moody weather brings it's own attractions.

I took Ruby for a quiet walk at the beach today and we were given a fabulous show by these three guys kite surfing.

These photo's don't do them justice but I had to keep focusing on throwing a yellow frisbee to entertain Ruby so missed getting images of quite a few jumps.

I love a blustery day at the beach and watching other people enjoy it like this is a real bonus.

It's been a milestone week for the Tinky coffee truck this week as this was the 4th year anniversary of their morning get togethers in the Nag's Head car park at Abercych.

The lovely ladies from Bluestones Coffee don't just make fabulous coffee but they've created a regular event here that has the most amazing energy. It doesn't matter if you're a visitor who knows nobody or a local who turns up on your tractor every week, everyone is welcomed so warmly, both by Sas and Ailsa but also by everyone else who's there.

There's also a lovely dog walk that starts next to the car park so you can walk your dogs and then pop over for a lovely coffee and piece of cake afterwards.

We put a sachet of Bluestones Coffee in our cottage welcome pack and we get a lot of comments about how lovely it is. I recently got told it was the best coffee they'd ever tasted.

If you've enjoyed the coffee while staying with us you can always buy more online direct from Bluestones Coffee or ask us for some before you check out.

Having the grandchildren to stay is a great opportunity to visit places we wouldn't go on our own... being grown ups and all that! 🤣

This week we visited a place I've passed many times and didn't know what was down the very posh, fancy looking drive. Turns out its a lovely hotel with a caravan park in a really nice setting.

But most importantly, it has a Feud Hall! So if your kids are bickering constantly, set them against each other for a showdown! 🤣

You can pick 4 options from a range of activities and they've got 2 hours to complete them and compete against each other. There's crazy golf, corn hole, duckpin bowling, American pool, Shuffle board, augmented reality darts, table tennis or b**r pong! That last one might be just for the grown ups, although you could use a soft drink in the cups instead of b**r.

Alternatively you can just pick one activity which is what we did. Our lot are far too competitive already! So we stuck with crazy golf and it was a lovely, well looked after course with a nice seating area, not too far from the bar, for anyone not joining in.

Do you have an EV? Is managing to charge it when you're on holiday a worry?

We've always had an EV charger at Cysgod Y Llan that guests are welcome to use but we're about to make it so much easier.

Up til now it's been a case of, you charge your car, we'll then tell you how much that cost and you can settle up. But we've recently signed up with GuestCharge which means you don't need any input from us at all. Other than me to move my car if it's in the way! 🤣

As a guest you scan a QR code, pay a deposit with your bank card and then charge your car. Once the charge is finished the balance of the deposit is returned to you.

It even automatically handles the different prices between day time charging and nighttime cheap rate charging.

In an age when some many things seem over complicated, don't you love it when something is made as easy as possible?

If, after scrolling through our guide book and checking out our page you still can't decide what to do when you're staying with us then just have a look round the cottage.

There are photos of lots of local spots that are really worth seeing during your stay. Every image is labelled so you can quickly decide what appeals the most.

If, after staying, you've got photo's you think should be up then please let me know, send me a copy and I'll get on it right away 😁

Do you paddleboard? Kayak? Swim in the sea?

Newport Sands, which is 30 mins from the cottage is a great place to do any of these activities.

The car park is right next to the beach so you don't have to carry any equipment over the headland or down lots of steps to get on the beach. Always a bonus! 😁

Do you need a freezer when you travel?

Most of our guests bring their gorgeous dogs on holiday with them and many of them now raw feed their dogs so we've decided to make the counter top freezer a permanent feature in the cottage.

This means you don't have to worry about whether you'll be able to store your dog food. There's a freezer for it.

And if you don't want to travel with the food then bring enough for the first night and then pop into Dog Food Dave's in Cilgerran and pick up some more there. You'll end up getting more than just food though because it's an Aladdin's cave for pet owners! 😁

If you've ever been on holiday in Wales where is your favourite place?

I was just asked if I had to recommend one place that people should visit where would it be and it's definitely Bosherston Lily Ponds and Broad Haven South beach. Ok, that's two places but they're on the same estate so I think they count as one 😁

What's now Stackpole estate was once described as "a perfect bog" but it was transformed by the Cawdor family, wealthy Pembrokeshire landowners into productive farmland and landscaped parkland.

They flooded two river valleys to create the ornamental lakes for the ladies of their impressive mansion to walk around. In summer, the ponds are covered with beautiful water lilies. The lakes are now a nature reserve and we've often seen otters there.

Sadly the mansion was demolished in 1976 to avoid crippling taxes but the estate is now owned by the National Trust so luckily we can all enjoy it.

It's about an hour from the cottage but you can easily spend the whole day there. The walks are lovely, the beaches rival any in the world and there's a cafe at Stackpole Quay, a tea room in Bosherston village and the Stackpole Inn for something a bit more substantial.

Honestly, if you come to Pembrokeshire, put it on your list. 💚

So where's your must go place?
