We had a very adventurous couple staying at Sutton Mawr. They have been travelling around European for the last 5 weeks. Paris, Venice, Rome and last but not least Barry Island!!! they love Gavin and Stacey so they had to come, and check it out.




Matt Ashley and his partner had a farm tour, learnt how to hold a chicken, and collected a stack of eggs. They go back to Australian tomorrow, have a good trip..

Really sorry about the lack of blogs this week, but there has been a problem with uploading new blogs.





We had the Rider family staying from Milton Keynes. The two boys Jo and Mathew were great to have about. They played all the games tennis, pool and "Smite" which is a new game to Sutton Mawr. Great fun, fortunately I won.  They were fully trained by the end of their first day, and were collecting the eggs twice a day and even locking them up at night.  Thanks chaps!


Did a farm tour today most the guest wanted to see the animals. We were very international, we  had people from South Africa, Australia, and Germany. Managed to do the tour without getting wet!

Jubilee weekend and as expected the weather has been awful.





Vicci baked a few cakes to cheer everyone up. This chocolate cake was a big hit.
