Hello again everyone,
Well I was just about to write this blog on Friday, when one of our guests gave me the article below for me to include in the Amroth Community Newsletter, of which I am on the editorial team. It was so lovely and such high recommendation of Amroth that I have decided, with her permission, to share it with you. Our guest wrote:
Why is this our 9th visit to Amroth?
We never thought we’d be the sort of people who’d come to the same place year after year—but we do! We love Pembrokeshire and especially Amroth Cottages with its wonderful views over the sea. We love walking the Coastal Path and there are many interesting places to visit and things to do round about here.
We stayed in Amroth really by chance the first time but continue to come here because it has real charm for us. The village is a small place with an old fashioned feel to it. It is quiet and you don’t have the busy amusement arcades and so on that you find in many seaside resorts. The little gift shops have become like old friends to us over the years and we love the Pirate Restaurant with its good quality food and friendly service. There is a small food and convenience store and it’s great to be able to walk to everything from the lovely self catering cottage where we stay.
Most of all it’s the beach that we love. It is huge and there’s always loads of space on it. The tide completely covers it twice a day, so it is lovely and clean. This also makes the sand excellent for sandcastles and playing games. We love swimming in the sea and it is super in Amroth, as the beach is sandy (no nasty pebbles to walk on as you get in and out of the water) and it shelves very gradually, so it is very safe for swimmers and young children. One end of the beach has great rockpools and we always have at least one session searching for sea flora and fauna.
Another thing we enjoy is fresh sea food and we’ve found this in the Amroth area year on year. There are so many more things we enjoy about this place.
We have been coming here with friends since our children were 6 and 4, and they are now 14 and 12 and don’t want to stop coming. For us coming to Amroth Cottages and the area is true relaxation. We know what to expect and everthing we want is here. It’s like going on holiday, getting away from it all, and coming home all at the same time.
News from Me!
This is a lovely article and many many thanks to our guests, who don’t want to be named, for letting me share it with you. Might I add that they have watched our lovely retriever Wilson, mature from an excitable puppy to a mature old dog. Their one son has especially loved him and spent ages each time he visits just stroking and talking to him quietly. Wilson has really loved him.
Well, the last 5 days have been wonderful here, blue skies, warm sun and twinkling seas. Everyone at our self catering cottages has been enjoying the seaside and returning home for a barbecue or tea on their patios.
Thankfully, they have cut the grass in our fields, so now I hope they can bale it before we get more rain. I have been digging carrots, pulling beetroot and picking peas from my vegetable plot and the wonderful fresh flavour makes the effort all worthwhile. I have lots of tomatoes coming in the greenhouse, so we just need more sun for them to ripen. I have made some Beetroot and Orange Jam for the first time and it is delicious with a strong Welsh cheese.
There is lots going on in the area this week. Colby Woodland Gardens have a special day for children on Thursday learning about the Badger, Pembroke Castle have a Falconry display on Tuesday, Harry Potter is on at the cinema in Tenby and the village hall has several activities, but let’s hope the sun keeps shining and everyone can enjoy the beach. I hope to be in Saundersfoot on Tuesday helping to raise money for the Macmillan Nurses by selling Welsh Cakes. Let’s hope it’s not rained off again.!
Must away and oh yes, the animals are all fit and well
Regards to all
Ann (Amroth Cottages)
