Have a family wedding (so bugglet warmly welcome) to attend just outside of Cardiff in July, planning on driving back the night of the wedding as the next day is my birthday, plus hoping journey back'll be quicker/Bugglet'll sleep.


But, this means our plan is to head down the day before so I'm not stuck doing both legs in one day & to give us chance to break the journey up a bit & I can't find anything that really fits the bill accommodation wise. Don't think I'm being that fussy - want a room for the 3 of us in a b&b or hotel which also has somewhere Mr Buggie & I can go to once bugglet settled so we don't all end up in bed @ 8pm!!


Have tried googling but nothing much coming up/inspiring :(

The Vale is meant to be a 'family friendly' place. I've not stayed, but nearly booked a break on the the way back home in west wales.


It is the type of place the welsh football team stay? But it may, may be okay? There is lots and lots of sports facilities. I was feeling very tapped by having two kids and wanted to go a gym....!

Had a look at the website & looks good. As Bugglet's only 1.5yrs and we're only needing it for the one night, it's more the baby listening service that appeals rather than the sporting activities (might have yo take swimming things though!). Thank you v much for the suggestion Echo x

we stay in an apartment in the bay when we go. it's around the same price as an hotel, but gives you the luxury of being able to cook yourself and have a bedroom to put little ones to bed while you relax in the living room. we use this website

    • Looks great! but could it be possible to pinch the frames a bit tighter with some long nose pliers and add more struts to stop the tree rats getting inside? Also, the only issue with a mesh base is that it could attract rats towards your property.
    • I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour.  I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing.  Then the pigeons managed to do the same.  I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest.  Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform.  So that's what I did!  Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside.  Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside.  I get all the small birds, plus starlings.  Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in.  The squirrels do!  It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps.  I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like.  It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up.  I even added a birdcam.  
    • Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok.  The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.  The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain.  Sorry, what was your point again?
    • Leon came this evening and did a small job.  He was able to fit me, which I’m grateful for.  He arrived when he said he would. Very professional & friendly guy, offered great advice and very reasonable prices.  Highly recommend Leon! 👍
