In our customers' own words
—
"Keith so liked the views from the living room
that I though
he would suffer withdrawal pains after we pack up! The cottage was
walker friendly, with easy access to restaurants, a small grocery, and
the post
office."

HOME AT FIRST’s
Northwestern Wales cottages are surrounded by the superb scenery of
Snowdonia National Park, a scenic Welsh wilderness with Britain's
highest mountains south of Scotland. The northwestern corner of Wales
rises sharply from the sea. Its folded landscape is home to great
mountains with great hiking, expansive beaches,
challenging
seaside golf courses, impenetrable
medieval castles, and friendly villages with unpronounceable names. |

The
great little trains of Wales
reach into the heights of Snowdonia, into the misty vales of legend and myth, into
tortured landscapes of slate and coal. Little trains aren't the only big surprises in
Britain's smallest countryWales is proof that good things come in little packages.

...and Home to Kings &
Visitors.
Northwestern Wales has had a long and often
contentious history with invaders from the east. The Welsh and the English built great
fortified castles here. Eventually,
the English monarchy honored the Welsh by naming their crown heirs
Princes of Wales. The great English castles at
Caernarfon,
Conwy, Beaumaris, and
Harlech
stand today as a combined World Heritage Site listed by the United Nations. |

In our customers' own words

"Can you send us another catalogue? We just returned from
Wales last night and had
such a good vacation that we want to start planning next year's vacation with you.
Thanks!"

Family-friendly Northwest
Wales.
Should we bring the kids along? Are
you kidding?! There are national parks
for hiking,
and steam train rides better than in any amusement park. Want
history to come alive for your kids? Why not take them where so
much history has been made? Wales has more castles of all
kinds per square mile than anyplace in the British Isles. Worried about being away from McDonald's and TV? Don't be.
Kids of all ages can get their burgers, fries and CNN all over
Wales. Your kids like the
water? Wales has three coasts lined with sandy beaches, plus some of
Britain's largest mountain lakes and cleanest, wildest rivers.
Ride a kayak or go white water rafting. Rather go biking? Wales has many
of Britain's top mountain biking trails and marked, quiet, scenic road
routes.
