“In the night silence of the Tywi Valley, I’ve found my place…”<\/font><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Author, journalist and blogger Rebecca Lees stayed at Gablebach in April and instantly found home. Rebecca, who currently lives near Cardiff but is planning a move back to west Wales, felt a real connection to the Llangadog landscape and its proximity to the Black Mountain footpaths she knows so well, while Gablebach soothed and offered sanctuary at a time of real need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s Rebecca\u2019s review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am wrapped inside a reassuringly heavy towelling robe, inhaling silence. Until dusk, birds in neighbouring fields called intermittently, but they have now retreated into the unseasonably cold late April night settling around the valley. I am in a former stable, parts of which date back to the 17th century. I have driven for less than 90 minutes to arrive here and I am worlds away from home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m at Gablebach, a bijou, luxury renovation in my favourite corner of Carmarthenshire. The village of Llangadog rests beneath Mynydd Du \u2013 the Black Mountain \u2013 at the most westerly tip of Bannau Brycheiniog, and the lovely town of Llandovery is a few miles north. I\u2019ve long been forming a plan to move west, and in the night silence of the Tywi Valley I think I\u2019ve found my place\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
