The North Wales / Snowdonia/Gwynedd region
Famous for its choirs, stunning mountain ranges and beautiful valleys, this wonderful country has something for everyone. Snowdonia National Park, situated in North Wales, boasts breathtaking mountain scenery, crystal clear lakes and cascading waterfalls. Climb Snowdon, which at 1085m is Wales’ highest mountain, or travel to the summit in style on the charming Mountain Railway. Alternatively, why not sample the beautiful green valley of Llangollen by steam train or from a leisurely horse-drawn canal boat. In July, the annual Llangollen Eisteddfod transforms the town into a unique centre of international music and dance, attracting musicians and singers from across the globe.You could also explore the beautiful coastline, safe sandy beaches and watersports of the Lleyn Peninsula, as well as Colwyn Bay, historic Conwy, Victorian Llandudno or the Isle of Anglesey on the north coast. To the south, there’s the lovely Brecon Beacons National Park, a haven of rugged moorland, forests and mountains that’s just perfect for nature lovers and walkers. Finally, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is renowned for its wildlife, stunning coastal scenery, superb beaches and as the home of Britain’s smallest city, the City of St David’s.
The Llan Ffestiniog area
Set in amidst the impressive Manod and Moelwyn Mountains and close to the centre of Snowdonia National Park, the old slate quarrying village of Llan Ffestiniog is an ideal holiday spot for walkers, cyclists and ramblers. This lovely little village is close to Blaenau Ffestiniog – a town that was known as the 'City of Slate' during the 18th Century. The Llechwedd Slate Cavern is close by and makes a fascinating place to visit, as does the famous Ffestiniog Railway. Visitors can also enjoy the stunning mountainous views available from the numerous trails throughout the area – this is excellent countryside for walking, mountain biking and cycling. The region also offers wonderful sandy beaches, great fishing as well as a wealth of delightful towns and villages.

Beautiful 'away from it all' location.
Mrs Rowe, Clevedon, Somerset

,The location is excellent; remote and very quiet.
Mr Shawley, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

,We loved the seclusion, the fab views and all of the walks. We also enjoyed being without the TV and our phones for a week!
Mr Duffy, Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire

,Quiet location & great cottage which is completely detached and not overlooked by anyone. Dog friendly, beautiful surroundings, a decent bed so you'll sleep well. There is a private stream and if you follow the stream up the hill at the back of the house you can see for miles and get some great pictures. There is a log fire for cosy evenings and shops are 10/15mins away by car.
