About the host
Hosted by Joanna
I'm a busy working parent who doesn't enjoy being on screens too much.. Why mention this? To explain why I'm sometimes slow to respond to requests... I do get there eventually though.. I hope that you will see from my reviews that I'm friendly and helpful - just not always online.
St. Dogmaels will always be 'home' to me - I grew up in the village and although moved away, come back regularly to visit my mum who still lives in the village. I hope you will find Brynhyfryd as relaxing and peaceful as I do...
