    Lake Country House

    July 29, 2017 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Took a bit of finding but we arrived at The Lake Country House just after 3 o'clock. Having had a cup of tea in our room we set out to walk around the extensive grounds and lake. It's a beautiful setting with woodland walks around the lake and the grounds include tennis courts, a putting green and croquet lawn.Read more

  • A day of heavy thundry showers or not

    July 30, 2017 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    As the Met Office app predicted heavy thundery showers for today we decided that it would not be sensible to do a walk (wimps 😀). So we set out to explore some of the local towns instead, although as it turn out the heavy thundery showers never materialised and we were left with a day of sunny spell's and light rain.Read more

  • Builth Wells

    July 30, 2017 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Builth Wells is the nearest town to the hotel, a small market town with local shops, painted mural, interesting buildings, numerous churches and a pleasant walk along the river Wye from the bridge.

  • Llandrindod Wells

    July 30, 2017 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Having walked from Llandrindod Wells a number of times we new of the lake and the tea shop which looks over it. So we headed for the tea shop and enjoyed a pot of tea (made with Welsh water) on the balcony.

    Llandrindod Wells is famous for the toads which cross the road from the forest to their breeding grounds in the lake around March time. Toads don't hop and so this is very hazardous journey.

  • Llandovery

    July 30, 2017 in Wales ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    Having never been to Llandovery we ventured a bit further afield to see what was there. Besides the castle and it's history there was not much to see so we decided to have a late lunch in the Castle Inn before setting off back to the hotel.Read more
