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.”

Expert says prenups aren't just for the rich and famous

Legal experts at Richard Nelson LLP are urging Brits to rethink who prenups are really for. While often seen as something reserved for high-profile couples, data suggests they remain largely overlooked in everyday relationships. Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.

Pre-wedding nerves, relationship advice and the secrets to a long, happy marriage

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting seasons in a couple's life. It is also one of the most emotionally revealing. As someone who has coached over 1,300 women into healthy, committed relationships and marriages through my Love Success Framework, I can tell you this: the way you handle wedding planning is often a preview of how you will handle marriage.

A marriage is an energetic ecosystem.

Wales Perfumery has announced the launch of The Celts Collection

Wales Perfumery has announced the launch of The Celts, a collection of five artisanal fragrances inspired by the distinct Celtic tribes of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, and Brittany. The range represents three years of historical research and olfactory innovation by perfumer Louise Smith.

Departing from traditional fragrance development, The Celts began with in-depth research into how Celtic peoples lived – what they traded, ate, and celebrated. Each scent features bespoke accords created exclusively for the collection, resulting in compositions that push the boundaries of fragrance creation and offer something truly distinctive for couples seeking a meaningful and unconventional scent for their big day.
