So here we are. Another year in a global pandemic and another staycation. Seeing as we had already done Scotland last year and hadnt been to Wales we chose to go to Snowdonia for our holiday this year!

Liam and I had been to a wedding the day before – for which I was bridesmaid so the start of our holiday began in a whirlwind of hugs, tears and a couple of delicate heads / bellies.

However, three (ish) hours of driving, two stops, 1 coffee and lots of snacks later we arrived in Wales!

First thoughts:

1. Wales is a beauty!

2. Welsh on the other hand is utter madness 😂

Liam and I arrived a little too early to get into our cabin so we headed into the nearest town. We found ourselves in a delightful little seaside town called Aberdovey.

We soaked up the sunshine and grabbed some chips with cheese and gravy (apparently called sludge?!) and checked out what there was to do in the area. We noticed there was a variety of water sports available and crabbing with some cute shops. We agreed to come back another day, scoffed our chips and headed over to our cabin.

By the time we made it there Nick and Danielle had arrived and so we unpacked and got ourselves acquainted with our….quirky cabin. When we booked we had limited choice due to so many people booking staycations so we opted for this wooden cabin which has an amazing view of the estuary.

But it also has footprints on the ceiling so…ups and downs.

The road that leads up to the cabin is also very steep and very bumpy…thankfully though the Asda van made it up and our snack cupboard was soon full!

We spent out first evening catching up vaguely planning our week ahead and munching on snacks!
