West Farm Southerndown Coastal Retreat

West Farm Southerndown Coastal Retreat, formally The Barn at West Farm, is set to open in June 2021. All set within the converted barn which sits on the cliff tops between Dunraven Bay and Ogmore-by-Sea, the venue will include a café that will be open all year round, offering light lunches, snacks and cakes made from local ingredients. The retreat will also feature three luxury self-catering properties, including a renovated farmhouse and two high-end apartments, all set on the cliff-top next to some of the best beaches in Wales.

“West Farm sits in one of the most enviable locations in South Wales,” says Katie Phillips, the project director. “It’s on one of the most popular routes for walkers and cyclists, a short walk to some of the best beaches in Wales and has some incredible views over the sea. Everyone in the area knows and loves the property, so we wanted to create something that Southerndown could be proud of and rely on, including a great quality local café where everyone feels welcome from cyclists and dog walkers to local families and tourists visiting our beautiful coast. As restrictions lift in Wales, we also hope to hold lots of exciting events at West Farm, including live music, art exhibitions and family events. We are proud to be breathing new life into this local treasure and supporting the region’s economy wherever we can. We know that there are so many couples who would love to have a beautiful coastal wedding here. However, until we can offer our couples the very best experience, without strict restrictions, for now, we will only be taking names to be added to our waiting list for next year.”

Bye Bye Sweet Caroline: The Classic Anthems BANNED From UK Weddings

The era of the predictable wedding singalong is officially dead, according to new data from entertainment agency Jonny Ross Music. New figures have revealed that Britain's couples are ruthlessly blacklisting the nation's favourite party anthems from their big days. A shocking analysis of playlist requests shows that legendary floor-fillers are being banished to the 'Do Not Play' list. Modern couples are ordering DJs to completely snub overplayed staples like 'Uptown Funk' and 'Mr Brightside'. But Brits are not turning their backs on the dancefloor. Instead of relying on default reception cheese, millennial newlyweds are demanding authentic club vibes that replicate a proper night out.

Swansea has been named one of the best food destinations in the UK

Swansea has been named one of the best food destinations in the UK

Swansea has been named the UK's fifth best food destination outside London, putting it ahead of Worcester, Newport, Wrexham, Perth and Brighton & Hove in a new city-break ranking. The Welsh city was placed inside the top five after analysis by travel specialists at Ski Vertigo which compared recent restaurant rankings, review data and current dining guide credentials across more than 60 UK cities. Birmingham took the overall crown, but Swansea's position gives the city a clear food-led break hook for travellers who want a cheaper and easier alternative to the capital. London dominates the UK for sheer restaurant volume and high-end dining, but the ranking looked beyond size alone, comparing the ratio of five-star rated food spots to total venues alongside wider guide recognition.
