The cottage stands back a little from a country
road, next to our own house. We have furnished and equipped it to
a standard that we would be delighted to find if
we were searching for really special holiday accommodation.
An inventory of contents will reassure you that we have thought
of everything to ensure that your stay is a happy one. If you don't
wish to be out and about every minute of every day, there are four
colour televisions, video player / recorder with library of tapes,
two music centres, chess, Monopoly, Scrabble, jigsaws, interesting
books and magazines, plenty of novels and good maps and guide books
to the locality (one wall is covered by a huge 1:25,000 Ordnance
Survey map of the whole of North Wales!). Should you return from
the hills
cold or wet, then enjoy a hot power shower or bath and central heating.
Snuggle down in front of the open log fire with a hot drink and
good music, with soft lighting from oil lamps and candles if you
prefer.
You will enjoy lovely mountain views across wooded hillsides and
sheep pastures. The river Glaslyn, with salmon and trout fishing
and summer swimming flows from Snowdon just a couple of hundred
metres away. Walk from the door into remote
and beautiful hills , or take the Sherpa minibus that serves
the Snowdon massif and catch a ride back to the door. Great castles
- Harlech, Caernarfon
and Cricieth are all within thirty minutes drive. A 'toy' railway
steams into the hills to the biggest slate caverns in the world.
The amazing Italianate village of Portmeirion is close by, and the
sandy beaches and rocky coves of Cardigan Bay. There are ancient
copper mines in the hills behind us; one, Sygun, can be entered
safely with a guide. We have riding stables down the lane, and you
can explore forgotten bridleways and woodland paths on horseback,
lunching perhaps at a country pub. Or - you can sit quietly and
just read or doze by a beautiful tumbling mountain stream behind
the cottage.
If you decide on a change from cooking in the well-equipped kitchen,
we offer impartial advice on good eating places ranging from the
Best Fish & Chip Shop in Wales (really!) to special places for celebration
meals. The bustling, award-winning village of Beddgelert is close
by, five minutes drive or twenty five-minutes adventurous walk by
the river, and offers a wide choice of eating venues catering to
the thousands of visitors attracted by its beautiful location, and
fame as winning village in the Wales-in-Bloom, Britain-in-Bloom
and Europe-in-Bloom competitions!
It is difficult to know where to stop. We have lived here for thirty
five years and have climbed, walked, cycled, driven, camped and
barbecued just about everywhere. We know and love Snowdonia better
than most. We will be delighted to share our enthusiasm and knowledge
with you. If you ask.
We
look forward to meeting you.
Best
Wishes,
Anne
and Alan Heason
