The drive to get here is fantastic and the approach truly beautiful - The Old Rectory waits for you on the other side of the lake. The owners are full of enthusiasm for their fabulous B&B and spoil guests rotten - comfy beds with smooth Egyptian cotton sheets, binoculars for bird spotting and luxurious baths. Fabulous photos of mountains and lake decorate the dining room, there are views from every window to the luminous lake, and you can climb Cadair Idris from the front door. Return, weak-limbed, to a delicious, home-cooked meal and a bit of cossetting... maybe a wallow in the hot tub under the stars. Read the full write up here »
We have made the May edition of The Professional Builder!!! Thanks to the sterling work of the builders who constructed our Orangery last Easter it has been now featured again in a national trade magazine – this has already elicited various comments from previous guests around the country who have called to say that they had read it! (Click HERE to read the article.) When we were building this great addition to our home last year talented photographer, Adam from Hungary, took a picture of the Welsh workers enjoying their lunch break sitting on one of the oak beams – Adam was replicating that iconic black and white still taken during the construction of the Rockefellar in New York. The photograph was taken by Charles C Ebbets in September 1932 and entitled Lunch atop a Skyscraper. It showed eleven men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling hundreds of feet above the city. Mercifully the men from DRJ Builders were not as high!
