Exploring the Best of Penmaenmawr: Coastal Adventures and Mountain Escapes
Mountain View does exactly what it promises. It sits at the foot of the northern Eryri hills, looking out over the Irish Sea. If you’re booking this for fifty people, you’ve essentially chosen a location that says, “Everyone gets a view, but no one gets it for free.” Penmaenmawr is built in layers, and it’s ideal for a group that needs to be periodically sent outside to reset. The “Mountain” Part of the Deal If you can persuade part of the group to head up toward the Druid’s

Ultimate Guide to Adventuring in Dolgellau: Hiking, River Fun, and Local Delights
If you’re visiting Southern Eryri (Snowdonia), you’ve chosen a town built from grey slate and surrounded by mountains that spend most of the year wearing cloud like a hat.

Discovering Coastal Treasures: Exploring Old Colwyn and Its Hidden Gems
Old Colwyn is often overshadowed by its more theatrical neighbour, Llandudno, but it has a solid, unpretentious character that’s quietly appealing. The Ship Inn sits on Abergele Road, a classic seaside building that doesn’t feel the need to perform. It’s for people who want to be near the sea without committing to full exposure. The Seaside, Refined The promenade is a short walk away. In winter, the Irish Sea settles into a range of menacing pewter shades, which is far more i
