We road the Route 8 cycle route from the top (Holyhead) to the bottom (Cardiff) of Wales. The roads around North Wales were fantastic, we hardly saw anyone, the scenery was beautiful, the food was tasty, the route was well signposted and the roads and cycle paths were smooth and pot hole free. There were things to see along the way like visting Caenarfon and the Centre for Alternative Energy. It's a cyclists dream, you can't ask for a better place to cycle in the UK and Europe for that matter!

We celebrated our anniversary at Plas Dinas which is a 400-year-old country house where the Armstong Jones family used to live - it still has lots of photos and portraits of Antony and Princess Margaret and is really interesting.

Rarely have we been somewhere that not only oozes character and is set in a lovely location with great views but also manages to deliver on service too. The hosts were really chatty and friendly and we had a great meal in their restaurant.

It was a beautiful weekend and we took the opportunity to walk round the grounds. They have benches strategically placed so you can sit and enjoy the view - we took our books out there to read with a glass of wine.

Our room was imaculately clean, came with a really comfy super king bed and a great bonus for me was the fresh milk for my tea in the morning.

I can't fault dinner (great cheese from the local delicatessan - we were given the details to go and buy some to take home) and breakfast was great too.

If you are looking for a relaxing break I can't reccommend this place more - we had a great time and will definitely be back.
