Bing maps says 1.5hrs travelling time?

Have just noticed that the B&B doesn't seem to be taking bookings for May anyway - maybe Bob is at his villa in the Cayman Islands at that time of year?

You are welcome to visit in May - but I'm afraid it is about 1 1/2 hrs to Pontypool.

Yes - I will probably be away on my tropical island then - but my butler will be at the b & b to look after you.

I need somewhere to stay next May bank holiday for a week but unfortunately you're the wrong side of the Brecon Beacons- I need somewhere nearer Pontypool!

(So if anyone has any recommendations for family and dog friendly self catering accommodation in that area, please let me know!)

[quote user="Michael Woodhouse"]Maybe take your own cutlery and crockery. Have you seen his version of the automatic dishwasher in the other thread? [/quote]

Aw bugger - I knew that would come back to haunt me. If the H & S bods see that we're dead in the water.

Anyway Michael - should you ever visit I can promise you a nice bit of rabbit from the cat's daily left-overs.

I'm also a big fan of Carmarthenshire.

Certainly lots to do for outdoory types. Beacons has some great hill-walking, just along the M4 the Valleys have some of the best mountain bike tracks in the UK, also not far from the Gower if you like surfing, coastal walks etc and also not far from Swansea or Cardiff if cities are more your thing.

Sorry Bob, I won't be taking you up on your offer though - my in-laws live down there! Your B&B looks lovely though!

The full monty of wildlife available in the New Forest too but sounds a fantastic place to holiday! Rather an excess of Buzzards & Kites here and they sit on our telegraph pole!

Do you get a cast iron guarantee that the rain will occasionally stop?
