The Olympic Torch is on its way to GB!

The Olympic Torch was lit in Greece on the 10th May in ancient Olympia, the home of the Olympic Games that were held in honour of the ancient god Zeus. A beautiful Greek ceremony where the Priestess dressed in traditional Greek attire lit the torch but unfortunately it had to be lit twice due to a gust of wind blowing the torch out! Apart from the slight hiccup – the torch was then successful handed over to begin the countdown to the Olympic Games. Today it will be flown from Athens to Lands End by a gold colour plane named Firefly with  celeb -tastic passengers David Beckham, Princess Anne and Lord Coe who bear the torch. A welcome ceremony will be held this evening … and for the next 70 days!

Availability in May – Events and activities near our luxury cottages to keep you entertained and active!

We all need a little cheering up after all this rain! Drenched by the drought? It has been reported to be the wettest April for 100 years!

We’ve been investigating May events near our cottages that could be just the distraction and escape you need.  Take time away in May, it will probably still be raining but cosy up in one of our beautiful cottages. Choose to stay in either a cosy romantic hideaway at Hafod Glan Gwy or round-up the family and spend time at the fantastic Great House, an old Georgian manor house.

Escape and treat yourself to time away in South Wales. There is plenty to do and see here in May both indoors and outdoors before you venture back to your Sheepskin cottage of choice and relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings…

Spotlight on Wayside, a superb property in Snowdonia Wales

A traditional, detached cottage in a stunning valley in Snowdonia makes a wonderful cosy place to escape to.

Wayside is a detached, traditional farm cottage on the side of a quiet lane running through a beautiful Welsh valley. Sitting snuggly amongst a patchwork of fields and with forests draping the slopes of this beautiful valley, the soft sounds of rural farmland drift reassuringly on the breeze. It ticks the boxes for those wanting some much needed R&R with your loved one or a holiday cottage that has lots of outside space for your children to run around in, Wayside in the Dyfi valley is just perfect.

What better way to hear about the highs and lows of this 3 bedroom charming property in Snowdonia than from a recent guest, we spoke to Laura Sellers who enjoyed her time there with her family.
