No-meat week on a Welsh sheep farm

We've been staying at a cottage on a Welsh sheep farm for best part of twenty years - this past week we returned. Another faboulus week away from it all. Despite the primary purpose of the farm being the raising of sheep and lambs, knowing the farmers well and how they treat their stock, we feel comfortable continuing to stay there.

Locally we found a couple of great non-meat eateries. Trecastle Tea Rooms is an offshoot of a nearby organic farm - on the day we visited, great organic local veg-based soup and pasta and organic local cheese - scrummy.

And the tea rooms at Newton House, Dinefwr Park and Castle (National Trust although the team rooms aren't NT). A fantasic bean casserole and rice.
