Modern life can be a little overwhelming. The workload can pile up without you even knowing, the bills coming through the letterbox can almost be like an omen of doom and looking at your bank balance towards the end of the month only fills you with a sense of dread. You really ought to take a break and what better way to do this than by visiting North Wales?
Tranquil surroundings and a calm atmosphere abound in the region as there’s a fraction of the congestion that you’re familiar with from city life. Gone are the 8am naps at the wheel as the traffic refuses to budge and instead you can cruise along and take in the beauty of the area at your convenience.
One of the best places to be, which is synonymous with the North Wales way of life is the gorgeous coastal town of Llandudno. Equally known for its sights as it is its history, its host to many great places of accommodation but for that home-from-home feeling, you’d be hard pressed to find the kind of comfort that The Queen’s Head offers.
Situated in one of the most idyllic parts of the area which sees little traffic, you can stay tucked up in one of their cottages which offers self catering in Llandudno. But why should you go for this option in the first place instead of playing it safe with somewhere like a Travelodge?
Sometimes a chain accommodation service can feel a little impersonal and sterile, something which anybody who’s ever had to stay in a Premier Inn or somewhere similar can no doubt attest to. However, you have all the home luxuries to make you feel really comfortable with a cottage in Llandudno.
There will be no interfering room service or a rush to get you out of your room; self-caterers usually go for an extended break. If you’re tired of the same old surroundings and want a change of scene, taking a short break away either by yourself or with a loved one in a rustic setting is one of the most cathartic experiences around.
If you don’t want to completely let go of your home life, that’s where choosing self catering comes into its own. You have to do your own shopping and washing, except without all the constant distractions, and it’s essentially like living in someone else’s house for a week! Much better than holing up in a room with an uncomfortable bed and a grainy television.
The Queen’s Head offers their brilliant storehouse cottage to those interested in enjoying a break away in style. Find out all about it by emailing them on [email protected] or calling 01492 546570.
