The sun is coming out, the temperature is rising and we feel that Spring is on the horizon. People are starting to venture out again and we think its worth extolling the virtues of Llandovery as its a veritable hub of activity, increasingly attracting visitors due to its unique location right at the heart of the mountains, rivers and forests of South West Wales. The longer we spend here at The Castle, the more we keep uncovering, the more impressed we become.

This week's menu at The Castle is featuring oak roasted salmon, courtesy of our friends from the Black Mountain Smokery, Crickhowell. Smoked fish is a truly healthy option - full of good oils including Omega3, high in protein and minerals and very low in fat. Even better, it tastes amazing.

Taste Inn Wales are putting a 'team' together to compete in this years' Dragon Ride - the annual cycle in our backyard across South Wales and the Brecon Beacons. It'll be a family affair, with Taste Inn Wales co-owners Sean Gerrard and Jessica Bridgeman taking part. This fantastic charity ride where riders choose and ride various distances - 206km; 125km or 37km - up Wales' biggest mountain roads, is supported by Olympic champ and fellow Welshman Geraint Thomas.
We had an email this morning from Photographer Julian Fulton, a photographer that has done numerous weddings at both The Manor Hotel and Peterstone Court. The last time we saw him was in Mid-January when he kindly offered his services for our Taste Inn Wales staff party... HERE'S WHAT WE HAD BACK....

We bought some outstanding short horn beef from Marcus and Daniella Lampard’s Mandinam Farm recently – we then cured it ourselves and this week have made some salt beef. We think its so good, that it deserves to be more than just a filling in a gourmet sandwich. So we are making a heart warming cawl topped with the delicious beef this week. Come over and try it, I guarantee it’ll warm your soul.

The Brecon Beacons has been a long loved mountain bike destination for years, but recently has really moved up several gears to offer the complete package for weekend warriors. Upgraded trails and new routes, we've got outstanding facilities all set in the beautiful and wild Brecon hills. Its got the lot, ride open forests, bone shaking moorland, steep climbs and hairy descents.

Recently, we've had the Top Gear team staying at Peterstone Court, while they filmed a 'Help for Heroes' special with the army at the Sennybridge Training Centre. We've also had a BBC Drama crew staying with us at The Manor while they filmed a new Shakespeare period drama locally at the historic, medieval Tretower Court.
