Powys holiday home named as one of the best in the UK
Pool View in Meifod, near Welshpool, was one of the Welsh holiday homes singled out for recognition as winners of the awards programme by Skyes Holiday Cottages.
The awards were handed out based on holiday homes that had received outstanding guest feedback, being named as among some of the best across the UK.
Pool View owners Sonia and David Hughes, both aged 61, created the holiday home after deciding to diversify the farmland that had been in David's family since the 1960s
Their son Phil built the home, designed to be a bespoke holiday let with sleek interiors surrounded by Powys countryside.
Sonia Hughes, co-owner of Pool View, said: 'David and I find it such a pleasure being able to share the fabulous area we live in with guests and we're so passionate about helping visitors to have a lovely holiday.
'It's the cherry on top of the cake to get such lovely feedback too, we're over the moon with our award.'
The Sykes Stars programme, now in its third year, aims to recognise holiday homeowners from across the UK that have achieved high feedback scores from guests over the last 12 months.
The owners of Pool View were among just 33 sets of holiday let owners to be awarded three Perfect 10 certificates from Sykes in the last year, making them Sykes Stars. To receive a Perfect 10 certificate, owners must have at least six reviews from guests each quarter giving them 100% feedback.
James Shaw, Managing Director of Sykes Holiday Cottages, said: 'We love celebrating the incredible variety of holiday lets across the UK, and our Sykes Stars represent some of the very best of what's on offer.
'It's a privilege to recognise owners like these in Wales who go above and beyond to deliver unforgettable experiences for their guests. Our winners play a vital role in shaping the UK holiday let market, especially as demand for unique, high-quality stays continues to grow.
'With Wales remaining a top choice for staycations, we're excited to see how our owners in the region continue to set new standards and inspire others in the industry.'

Indonesia to cut tariffs, non-tariff barriers in US trade deal, Trump official says
July 22 (Reuters) - Indonesia will drop tariffs to zero on more than 99% of its trade with the United States and will also eliminate all non-tariff barriers for American goods in a deal that cuts threatened U.S. tariffs on Indonesian products to 19% from an initial 32%, a senior Trump administration official said on Tuesday. Indonesia will immediately drop its plans to levy tariffs on internet data flows and will support renewal of a longstanding World Trade Organization moratorium on e-commerce duties, the official told reports on a conference call held a week after the deal was first announced on July 15. Indonesia also will remove recently enacted pre-shipment inspection and verifications of U.S. exports, which have posed problems for U.S. agricultural exports and contributed to a growing U.S. farm trade deficit, the official said. In a win for U.S. automakers, the official said that Indonesia has agreed to accept U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for vehicles exported from the United States to the growing country of 280 million people. Indonesia also has agreed to remove export restrictions on critical minerals and remove local content requirements products using these commodities shipped to the U.S. ((Reporting by Andrea Shalal and David Lawder in Washington; Editing by Dan Burns)) Keywords: USA TRUMP/TARIFFS INDONESIA

Wales' best hotel opens new pub where you can stay overnight and have your food cooked by an expert chef'
A new addition to the swish Palé estate, The Bryntirion Inn recently opened its doors at the gates of the five-star Palé Hall Hotel in Bala after a £1 million glow-up to inject a fresh feel while retaining its historic decor and vibe. Once a rustic village pub dating back to 1695, The Bryntirion promises a cosy stay where 'motoring heritage meets modern Welsh hospitality.' Owners Anthony and Donna Cooper-Barney have revamped the historic inn, creating a modern gastropub with rooms on the doorstep of the Eryri National Park. The pair also manage Palé Hall, which we recently ranked as top in our list of the best hotels in Wales. Our travel writer, Portia commends the Hall for "substance beneath the flair" and how the rooms "exuded understated elegance, perfectly complementing the panoramic views of the Dee Valley and its theatrically scenic surroundings." Plans are underway to add a spa and a second restaurant and potentially expand the historic hotel's number of bedrooms. They have also invested £200,000 to create exquisite Welsh art galleries. It shouldn't be a surprise, then, if The Bryntirion takes a leaf out of its sister venue's book. This latest village pub project is close to Anthony's heart. "We are thrilled to introduce The Bryntirion Inn as the latest part of the Palé Hall Estate." He adds that the new venture is "the perfect place to share my classic car collection, while creating a true village pub where locals can feel at home. The Bryntirion is about genuine hospitality, great food, and celebrating everything that makes this part of Wales so special." Forget five-star fuss. This is a proper village-style pub with sixty-cover dining room, good-looking bedrooms, and enough classic car memorabilia to keep the petrolheads happy. Decor-wise, despite the expensive revamp, there's still plenty of charm, with original stone walls, low timber beams, a roaring fireplace, and a bar stocked with real Welsh ales on tap and local spirits. While the bar remains a familiar spot for Bala regulars, the dining room has a more polished but still inviting feel and a creative menu shaped by the bountiful landscape around it. At the helm in the kitchen is Head Chef Tristan Fitt. His impressive CV includes heavyweights like Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, The Westbury in Mayfair and Wheeler's Oyster Bar in Whitstable. In these historic surroundings, Chef Tristan is crafting a solid menu rooted in local produce. Vegetables come from Ty Uchaf Farm just down the road, and eggs are collected from Caepant Eggs in nearby Llandderfel. Respected Bala butcher TJ Roberts supplies the pub's meat, including 28-day-aged Black Angus ribeye and pork chops destined for the grill. The result is a collection of elevated pub classics that feel honest and generous, with no unnecessary frills. The à la carte menu is seasonal and expressive. One dish pairs a delicate chicken liver parfait with plum gel, lemongrass and Japanese Umeboshi plums. There's a proper chicken pie made with baby vegetables, pomme purée infused with garlic and herbs, and a rich tarragon sauce that's hard to leave unfinished. Desserts include an elegant tiramisu in Opera cake form, complete with espresso ice cream and a Tia Maria gel. For something nostalgic, the Bryn Strawberry Trifle layers vanilla custard with sponge and sherry-soaked fruit and is beautifully plated. Sunday lunch here is already drawing a loyal following, and it's easy to see why. Plates arrive piled with crisp roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables. You can choose crispy pork belly served with apple, sage, and a pig in blanket or roast sirloin of Welsh beef with horseradish. For plant-based diners, there's also a nut roast pie that stands up to the meaty mains. The drinks list is worth lingering over. All of the beers, ciders and house spirits come from Welsh producers, handpicked with help from Stori, Bala's brilliant independent bottle shop and tap room. There's a thoughtful selection of low and no-alcohol options too. Overseeing the wine list is Palé Hall's Head Sommelier Garry Clark, who's balanced, reliable favourites with lesser-known pours, including some Welsh wines chosen to complement the food. Word is spreading fast, with early diners already singing its praises online. One TripAdvisor review wrote, "We were not expecting to find such amazing food in a little country pub ten minutes from our holiday cottage." Another posted, "Fantastic service, the tastes are sensational, and they welcome dogs as well as humans." Roasts are also a big hit, with one reviewer claiming, "His was the best Sunday lunch I've ever eaten." Staying the night? Upstairs, The Bryntirion has six rooms for overnight guests. Each is named after a Welsh mountain and features dramatic landscape photography of its namesake. The ambience is warm and simple, with wooden furniture, neutral tones, and thick, comfortable beds. Every room has a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making kit, and Penhaligon toiletries. Breakfast is served as a continental-style hamper delivered to your door, and there's a spacious family room available. Dogs are welcome, too, not just in the bedrooms but also in the bar and restaurant, making it a great choice for walkers, road trippers, and families travelling with their beloved pet. What's nearby Prominently positioned on the edge of Eryri National Park, the Bryntirion offers a relaxed base for walking, hiking, climbing, cycling, fishing, and water sports on Bala Lake.

Starmer's sanctions plan for people smugglers ‘far-fetched', say experts
Keir Starmer's plan to use sanctions to help 'smash the gangs' profiting from people-smuggling in the Channel seems 'far-fetched' and any success may be difficult to evaluate, security and immigration experts have said. David Lammy, the foreign secretary, announced plans on Tuesday to target corrupt police officers, fake passport dealers and firms supplying small boats for people-smuggling. The first measures are due to be announced on Wednesday along with the names of individuals and companies, and are seen as central to government plans to tackle criminal networks. But the plans have been met with scepticism from those who have previously examined the use of sanctions. Tom Keatinge, the director of the Centre for Finance and Security at the Royal United Services Institute, said the government must guard against 'overpromising'. 'I would caution against overpromising. Talk of freezing assets and using sanctions to 'smash the gangs' seems far-fetched and remains to be seen. History suggests that such assertions hold governments hostage to fortune,' he said. Lammy said the sanctions regime was 'the first of its kind anywhere on the planet' and a key step in ending 'the status quo' in which criminal gangs preyed on 'vulnerable people with impunity'. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, he said: 'We are leading; others will follow.' But Dr Peter Walsh, a senior researcher at the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, said a similar scheme had been set up last year by the EU and there was still little evidence that such schemes worked. He said: 'There is a lack of high-quality evidence on the impact of sanctions of this specific kind. An EU scheme launched in January last year also used sanctions to target people smugglers, gangs, and other criminals. 'For now, there is insufficient operational detail to be able to evaluate these sanctions' potential impact on cross-Channel smuggling. 'There are some difficult challenges in this area. For example, many smuggling networks operate outside the UK with minimal UK‑based assets or visibility, limiting the effectiveness of asset freezes. Moreover, smugglers often use informal money exchange mechanisms like the hawala system, which operates outside the formal financial system, making it difficult to trace and freeze funds. Worldwide, hawala has proven notoriously difficult to regulate.' The names of about two dozen people accused of facilitating the trade or profiting from it are expected to be released on Wednesday. A leading member of the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), which advises the government on immigration, said the impact could be limited. Dr Madeleine Sumption, the MAC's deputy chair, said she would be 'surprised' if the sanctions were a 'gamechanger for the industry as a whole, and for the existence of the small boats route'. 'There are so many people involved in the industry that targeting people individually is probably only going to have an impact around the margins,' she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. She added: 'The impact is dependent to an extent on the cooperation of other countries where smugglers are operating.' Further sanctions packages are expected to include corrupt public officials and police officers, while the initial list published on Wednesday is intended to signal the type of targets the UK is pursuing as part of longer-term efforts. The government is under growing pressure from opposition parties and its own backbenchers over irregular migration. Starmer made tackling illegal migration at source a key election pledge last year. Refugee charities have maintained that the only way to stop people from travelling in small boats to the UK is to open alternative routes for people to apply for asylum. Enver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, said sanctions may help disrupt some of the criminal networks but enforcement alone would not stop dangerous channel crossings. 'We know from our frontline services that the men, women and children risking their lives in small boats are often fleeing places like Sudan, where war has left them with nowhere else to turn. People do not cross the channel unless what lies behind them is more terrifying than what lies ahead,' he said.
