1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The views of the Welsh Hills - magnificent! Great location!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Brilliant for Mountain biking. Stock up on snacks/consumables for outdoor trips as there isn't much around for a few miles!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
I think so - the B&B was careful about the environment and we were all on managed MTB paths and using leg power so pretty green overall! We spent money on food and on bits and pieces so contributed to local economy.
4. Any other comments?
Friendly and helpful owners was a bonus. Good rooms, good breakfast.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The feeling that we all got at the top of Snowden after our four hour climb!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring a pair of flip-flops for using the shower, it just makes it easier to get dry and changed without standing on the floor that isn't dirty but it's not quite like the bathroom at home! Yes
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, we were very much aware of the environment; recycling facilities, eco washing up liquid, low voltage lights, and prompts and reminders regarding minimising wastage of consumables and energy. You were also surrounded by such beauty that you felt compelled to treat the area with respect. We ate in local pubs for our meals, the Farm that we stayed on had made a real effort to provide information regarding local facilities.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was great fun, good value for money, and we would recommend the Farm to others, in fact we already have!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Climbing Snowdon!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Go with the flow - there are lots of lovely places for you to see in the area which you can easily side-track yourself with... so just check them out as you please. We stopped for lunch at the Brigands Inn in Wallwyd which was lovely.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Other than the transport we took to get to Wales, (by car), yes because we walked everywhere!
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fantastic. The Bed & Breakfast was lovely, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The surroundings were beautiful and although a tranquil and relaxing village - there were pubs in the area with good food and facilities to keep us entertained for the evening. We also drove through some beautiful villages that we'd love to go back and visit.

This accommodation was a refreshing experience from our usual B&B weekends away. The room was lovely, the food was organically delicious (sourced locally) and the views were spectacular. The best part about our break was reaching to the top of Snowdon! We would definitely recommend this place to our friends, and may even go back ourselves.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The wonderful walking and hiking, the mountain biking and the seascapes. Wales has so much room and a breath of fresh air for us Cambridge people.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This B and B is ideally located to get to most places you might be interested in visiting or exploring in Snowdonia. The local region is fabulous for walking without using the car much at all. The farm is very pretty and a nice place to stay. ( we did have to remind the owner that the cleaner had not cleaned or tidied our room in two out of the eight nights, but I think it as a glitch and not normal practice but otherwise the rooms were kept spotless and very nicely presented). Plan your eating out carefully as eating out in Snowdonia can be expensive and very average. There were some great places to eat if you do your research or study the farmhouse notes. Don't go to the restaurant 2 mins away its really awful.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Organic food, great breakfast and, fair trade coffee which was wonderful and I noticed all energy saving lights. Recycling of items from the campsite users .Their facilities for bikes and cycling encourages a environmentally sustainable way of enjoying your time here.
4. Any other comments?
I am a keen photographer so here are 2 pictures from the farm. The rest are taken within short distance or within 20 mile drive of the B and B, on walks or from panorama viewpoints.
