The history of our cottage |

History | Accommodation
The cottage first belonged to my grandparents in the 1920's; my
children are the 4th generation to have lived there.
Originally
it was only two rooms with an earth floor and the mountain road
was only a track. They used it as a holiday retreat, which must
make it one of the first holiday cottages. They travelled to Fishguard
on the Great Western and from there by pony and trap. |
|
It has always been a place of harmony and relaxation and country
adventures and pursuits. As children my father and aunt would be
off up the mountain for hours, sometimes taking a picnic or sausages
and a frying pan, which tradition, I, in my time and my children
in theirs, have continued: or else spending hours damming up the
stream or making up other imaginary water games. |
