THE
HOSTS: The owners/hosts reside on the on the
cottage’s upper floor. They take an active interest in their guests. The host is a
recognized Mountain Leader in Snowdonia who leads organized hikes and can provide some
outdoor gear if needed. The heavy stone building structure affords guests complete
privacy. The owners’ close proximity provides the comfort of a helping hand whether
needed for questions about your accommodation, or some local event or destination you may
find of interest. THE REGION: Northwestern Wales is perhaps the most rugged of any destination in the UK
south of the Scottish Highlands. With wild streams, and high mountains, the area has held
on to the Welsh language and traditions more than most other areas in Wales.
While providing stunning scenery and history that
extends back to prehistory, Snowdonia also has a well-developed tourist
trade. As a destination for English wanting a mountain retreat, or
Europeans |
coming for outdoor sport since
the 18th century, the area has a long history of knowing how to make
visitors welcome.
Throughout the
region clean, prosperous villages and towns provide restaurant, shopping, information and
touring facilities. Unspoiled and pristine, Snowdonia combines British sophistication with
the intriguing character of an ancient Celtic culture.
