The Life of Becca!: Wales Blog - Day 7! (Friday 2nd September)

Hi Guys!

So today was the last day of our holiday :( I wish we could stay here with Rob and Fiona forever, but I'm looking forward to seeing Luke and Freya, who have been kindly looking after the animals for us!

The weather wasn't great this morning, so we spent the morning on the farm before heading off to Dinefwr, our favourite national trust place, for lunch! It is just outside of Llandeilo, about 10 minutes away from us by car!

We went straight to the cafe for lunch when we got there, which is situated within the old house, which is also available to look round. The food choices aren't great there anymore, so if you have large appetites, I'd suggest you eat somewhere else or bring a picnic! We didn't look round the house today, but we have on previous visits, and it is a very interactive place - there is a lovely piano in one of the rooms which is available to play! The last time we were there, there was saying badminton net set up in one of the posh rooms, as they used to play badminton in the house! We spent ages playing, and it was great fun! This time, there were various badminton nets dotted around outside the house, and there was also a big room in the courtyard where there was inside badminton available! We played for about half an hour, and had a brilliant time!

The cute used book shop!

There is also a lovely shop which stocks a local artists work - Helen Elliot. Her work is beautiful, and I got one of her paintings for my 18 birthday - it just so happens to be a painting of the castle at Dinefwr!! We went there for the first time today, and the views from the top are incredible! However, if you are scared of heights I wouldn't recommend it!!

As well as going to the castle, we walked in the board walk, which is pretty cool! There is a lovely lake along it, and plenty of wildlife - when we have walked on it previously, we have seen deer!

After spending a few hours in Dinefwr, we went back to the cottage and got ready to go out for our last meal! We went to a place called "Y Polyn", which I have wanted to go to for ages! It was the most delicious meal I have ever tasted! It is an expensive place to eat, so I would suggest it for special occasions. However, it was completely worth the money, because it was INCREDIBLE food!! As well as this the service was wonderful - I had managed to burn my hand in my hair straighteners really badly right before we left for the restaurant, and they got me a huge dish of icy water for my to dip my hand in - they remained attentive throughout the time we were there, asking if they could get me more ice, and/or water for the table. It was a perfect last evening of the holiday...apart from me burning myself!!!
