There are few places better in which to wake up, roll out of bed and greet the day than in stunning 
North Wales and anyone who’s stayed before will surely agree. How about waking up and feeling like you’re in your own home from home?
That’s exactly why so many people a year go for self catering in Blaenau Ffestiniog as you have no distractions like those you get in hotels – it’s your own little rustic getaway where the only people you have to see are the loved ones. It’s far removed from chain accommodation and is a kind of tourism that’s on the up throughout the region.
One of the many reasons for its rise in popularity is that it feels a lot like having a second home. The owners of many self catering properties attempt to make it feel as homely as possible for guests and to distance it from the sterile and sometimes unwelcoming atmosphere found Travelodges and places across the country.
Once you set your bags down, you are on your own and in the best possible way. There are no staff around which makes it feel congenially a lot like home, meaning that you have to gather your own food and stock up on essentials. Though this may seem like a negative to some, independence is the main reason why people go for self catering as its an altogether different experience.
Another of the great reasons which give people cause to snap up a self catering cottage for the weekend is that they can house a number of people. If you would like to reconnect with friends, celebrate in peace and relaxation or simply want somewhere to stay that’s a little different, these places are perfect and especially so in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Situated in Snowdonia, Blaenau is one of those true hark backs to a simpler time that has to be seen to be believed. Everything moves at a (much welcome)slower pace but there’s plenty to see and do in the area, thanks to it being situated in the middle of a national park. The Oakeley Arms offer a fine choice in self catering cottages in Blaenau Ffestiniog and should be the first port of call for anyone looking to stay in luxury in North Wales.
