New ‘Glamping’ Domes on the LLyn Peninsula

New ‘Glamping’ Domes on the LLyn Peninsula

As you know, most of our cottages are 5 star type accommodation and luxuries like hot and cold running water are taken for granted. So these new ‘glamping’ domes are a bit of a break from the norm for us. But I think it’s good to leap into the unknown sometimes. While I’m confident you’ll have a lovely time in these domes, I hope you’ll feel little apprehensive when you book. After... [Read more]

The building has of course been lovingly restored into a great little holiday cottage. A big oak front door leads you straight into the living area. A high lofted oak beamed ceiling provides a sense of space and light. A large inglenook complete with the original baking ovens... [Read more]

Tan-Y-Wenallt | Self Catering in Llanbedr | log fire and large garden with BBQ

Tan-Y-Wenallt is a ‘ty unnos’ or ‘one night house’. An ancient and well known tradition here in Wales. During the 18th century, a time of rapidly expanding population and poverty, it was generally agreed that a property could be built by squatters on common land so long as it was built within 24hrs, one day and one night. The test being that smoke had to emerge from the chimney before sunrise... [Read more]

5 Things To Do in and Around Dolgellau

A small and beautiful town, Dolgellau’s story is said to date back to the 11th or early 12th century when it was believed a settlement was created by Cadwgan ap Bleddyn for a town to be created to serve as a ‘serf village’. Later in mid 12th century, Dolgellau was more recognised for its importance when the area was the location of a council of chiefs led by Glyndwr. In the 18th century, the... [Read more]

Stabal-March | Ground floor holiday cottage in Abersoch, seaside location

Stabal-March | Ground floor holiday cottage in Abersoch, seaside location

Admittedly we were lucky with the weather. The morning sun was reflecting off the blue sea as we enjoyed our breakfast out on the patio. But the cottage complemented the weather wonderfully. Stabal-March is a one story converted stable block, so no stairs to worry about. And perfect of course if you can persuade Grandma and Grandpa to come along too. Facing south over Abersoch Bay and the mountains... [Read more]

Gorwel-March | 5 star log cabin with sea views in Abersoch

Gorwel-March | 5 star log cabin with sea views in Abersoch

I was a bit worried when we visited Gorwel-March in Abersoch for the first time. We don’t usually take on log cabins and I was worried it wouldn’t match up the high standards our regular self catering guests have come to expect. But all my concerns vanished the minute we stepped inside. Perched on the side of a hill, it’s a bit of a climb up to the property, over 30 steps in total, but well... [Read more]

Bryncaled | Ground Floor 2 Bedroom Barn Conversion nr Pwllheli Llyn Peninsula

Bryncaled is a two bedroom barn conversion near Chwilog a beautiful and rural part of the Llyn peninsula.

Recently renovated this old stone cottage has been well designed and laid out. Its original stone exterior belies the up to date facilities within. A large bright... [Read more]

Eco-Dome | Unique Glamping Pods on the Llyn Peninsula North Wales

Eco-Dome | Unique Glamping Pods on the Llyn Peninsula North Wales

Glamping seems to be the in thing at the moment. And after visiting these Eco Domes on the Llyn Peninsula here in North Wales I can totally understand why. I loved camping when I was a little girl. Mucking around in streams, grass stains on my trousers, hot chocolate from a tin cup and burnt sausages with beans for tea. Unfortunately I’ve become too used to my creature comforts. Glamping! (Why didn’t... [Read more]
