Travel Lightbulb

I get the feeling that 'stay-cations' are something we're all going to be doing for many months to come, so if you need some inspiration for a UK trip, then how about this for an idea - luxury boutique accommodation in Wales.  Ffynnon (which means spring or well in Welsh) is a chic guest-house located in Dolgellau in the Snowdonia National Park. Converted from a Gothic Victorian rectory, there are six individually designed rooms that are in keeping with the property, while also managing to be contemporary.  The rooms are all different styles, shapes and sizes. I stayed in a beautiful, spacious oriental style room called Annis. It had a beautiful high ceiling; all the mod-cons that you'd expect, and beautiful views. The bedding is of fabulous quality, and the best bit was the peace and quiet - I slept so well here! The bathrooms have big windows, luxurious bath products and come with waffle bathrobes.  Breakfast is served in a lovely dining room - and they don't hold...

The enthusiasm for Airstreams has surged in recent times; and now it's not only cool surfers that want them, but there are also millionaire owners such as Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks.
