Wales The New Cornwall

Llys Meddyg is quite possibly one of the nicest places to stay in Wales. A one time Georgian coaching Inn, this stylish and down to earth restaurant & rooms is nestled under the Carningli Mountain Of The Angels and a very short jog away from Newport's ever-so stunning Y Parog beach.

Coastal walks, coastal cycles, coastal rambles and coastal drives, Wales has it all.

Why bother budging up amongst the Cornwall crowds when you can come to this beautiful idyllic stretch of unpopulated Welsh coastline. Newport is perfectly small and big enough to find. The mouth of the River Nervern forms two beaches with curiosity rock pools and miles of empty beaches to explore with your dog, fly a kite or challenge your partner to a razor clam haul.

Llys Meddyg also has a cute cosy cottage tucked around the back which was our abode for 3 days, we felt so at home and snug we didn't fancy the very kind offer of an upgrade. The food which is this blog's raison d'ĂȘtre, is locally and seasonally sourced, with a provenance and  quality you would find in any michelin star restaurant. The proprietors Ed and Lou and head chef James Oakely have already established a lasting reputation. The LM Welsh Breakfast was equally memorable, a treat that hit the spot.

We made an after-breakfast climb high up the Carningli mountain with its amazing 360 degree views around the Pembrokshire tundra and coastline, stretching out to the sea and around to the National Park.  Cairns are dotted about all over the Mountain and the strong Welsh breeze flaps your tail feathers, making you feel alive as you observe the fell runners and local bird habitat glide and soar ...

From Newport, we took a day trip to The National Wool Museum Of Wales and discovered the beautiful weaving of Melin Teifi who also produce a wonderful range of clothing inspired by traditional Welsh workwear and Melin Trefin weaving from the village of Trefin, whose hand loom work is equally beautiful.

When we bring our friends back to Wales, we will definitely invite them to stay with us at the Llys Meddyg, a quiet gem of style and comfort, deep in Wales.
