I live in North Wales and moved here to live between the beautiful, wild and rugged mountains and the sea, with its endless sandy beaches and rocky coves. It's a big change and hard work, but I love it up here, and I want to tell the world about this magical corner of North Wales. I really enjoy sharing the gorgeous holiday cottage I have created in Harlech, enabling people to have a lovely holiday in a welcoming and relaxing space. You will be able to contact me by mobile phone or email before and during your stay and I'm happy to answer questions and make recommendations.
