| "We stayed in a lovely lodge over looking the river. The place was very easy to get to from the A55 and then the A5. We found the location great for days out in LLanberis where we went on a train ride around the lake. We also went to Anglessey Sea Zoo and Foel Farm. Great for a short break and even though our son is barely a year old we found quite a bit to do that interested him and us. We are thinking of taking a short break there next year as there is so much to see and do. " |
