Court Coleman Manor Bridgend --break away!

We had a wonderful time away at Court Coleman Manor, Bridgend earlier in the week. there was so much lovely scenery to see--this lovely waterfall was just by the entrance.

everywhere you looked in the manor there was something beautiful to see--such character!

beautiful sweeping staircase..

huge old bellows served as tables in the bar..

all the ceilings were stunning with ornate plaster..

we had a lovely meal in the award winning restaurant..

the kitchen was open so you could see your meal being cooked..

the wine list was a bit different--when it was closed up it looked just like a bottle of wine!

There was a hall of fame full of celebrities who have stayed there..

Good ole David Dickinson....

Casualty has been filmed there. and one of Bills favourite shows-- Stella

couldn't let little ones near the staircase --there is a huge gap between the posts!

very imposing building...

there was a  lovely king size 4 poster bed..

a super jacuzzi bath..

a desk--and free wi-fi... very important to me to be able to keep a watch on my emails/on-line bookings etc when I'm away!

the TV was hidden away in this cupboard..

beautiful view from our room-could see for miles..

the lovely tulip tree was in full bloom..

looks like I was caught trying out the jacuzzi !!

there is a lovely fountain in the grounds--some lovely fish in there-and also saw some frog spawn and tadpoles in there too.. we had a lovely time--and will be going back there later in the year..all the staff were just lovely ! Worth the 2 hour journey to get there!
