Colin’s review of Scentral Bark: 10/10, would fling sand again. 🐾 # #

🐾 Colin came to stay 🐾

Some dogs walk through the Scentral Bark gate and have a polite look round. Colin read the sign, sized up the field, and got straight to business!!!

The XL Pit Ball - not one ball left unturned 🟢🟡🟣

Bone-di Beach? Zoomies at full sand-flinging speed, twice round the tree for good measure 😂

The nest swing? Occupied. Mine - the end!! 💕

And then, when the valley went pink, he stood at the gate and watched the sun go down like he’d booked it himself.

This is the bit that makes the labour of love worth it — the tyres, the sand, the balls we’re still finding in odd corners weeks later. All of it for a face like this.

Come back soon, Colin. The pit’s not the same without you. 🧡🐾 (watch our reel for Colin’s full adventure!)

❤️🐾 GORGEOUS GUNNER & IDA 🐾❤️

Just look at these two beauties enjoying their holiday in The Old Bike Shed 😍 Judging by these photos, they settled into Brechfa life rather nicely! 🌳🐾

There’s something very special about seeing our four-legged guests out exploring, sniffing, posing and generally looking like they own the place. 😂❤️

With 18,000 acres of Brechfa Forest right on the doorstep, there are certainly plenty of adventures to be had before heading back to their own secure garden and private dog park for a well-earned snooze.

And can we just take a moment for that pose?! 📸😍

Gunner & Ida — you are absolutely gorgeous! ❤️🐾

Who else has a dog that suddenly becomes a professional model the minute they go on holiday? 😂📸

Well, this bank holiday weekend certainly living up to its reputation ☔ grey skies, washed-out walks, the whole works. So instead we’re throwing it back to last week, when the sun was actually doing its job!!!

Wendy and her self-confessed “rabble” rocked up to stay in the Bike Shed, and honestly it was smiles all round — we are in love with rabble leader Connie’s cheeky grin! 😄 Sunsets were doing their absolute best too.

Sometimes you just have to laugh through gritted teeth, and hope for a proper Indian summer! 🍂🐾

🐾 A little belated, but some things are worth celebrating a day late — Happy International Dog Day to our Bowie! 🐾

To you he’s the face of Brechfa Forest Barns, but to us he’s just our beautiful, kind-souled gentle boy who makes every single day better 💕

The best thing about Bowie? Those adoring looks he gives us. There’s one captured perfectly in the photos… It’s the kind of unconditional love only a dog can give, and we don’t take it for granted.

So in his honour (a day late, but he’s forgiven us 🐶), we want to know — what’s the one thing about your dog that melts you every time? Tell us in the comments — we’d love to hear about your four-legged loves! 👇

☕️🍳 URGENT DISPUTE FROM THE BREAKFAST TABLE 🍳☕️

We're currently sat in the wonderful The Forest Arms Brechfa plates in front of us, and what should have been a peaceful forest breakfast has turned into a full-blown debate. Drock and I cannot agree on what actually makes an excellent Full English, and it's got heated enough that we need YOU, our fellow Brechfa foresters, to settle it once and for all.

The questions on the table:
🥓 Crispy bacon or chewy bacon?
🍳 Fried egg, poached, or scrambled?
🍅 Grilled tomato — essential or optional extra?
🫘 Beans touching the toast, or a total no-go?
🥔 Hash browns or fried bread — pick a side
🍄 And the big one... black pudding: must-have or absolute deal-breaker?

Drock has Opinions. I have Correct Opinions. Bowie think 100% sausages and nothing else. We need a neutral jury!

Drop your must-haves in the comments 👇 Loser buys the next round of coffees! Also give a hi five if you agree this place does THE BEST breakfast! 🤤
