Betwys-y-coed

On the way back from Deganwy, we stopped off at Betwys-y-coed for a walk around. We managed to buy a couple of new coats...Jack Wolfskin and really warm...

I also managed to get a good pic of the falls that run through the town. I've been playing around with SJ's SLR and I think am finally starting to get the hang of it!

Deganwy

For SJ's birthday, I decided to book us a weekend away...I had a look online and came up with The Quay Hotel in Deganwy in North Wales. I wanted somewhere that was a nice hotel, with spa facilities and decent surroundings so we could explore. SJ has always liked North Wales and so I picked Deganwy, just outside Conwy.

The Quay hotel is relatively new, being part of a redevelopment of the marina in Deganwy. It's quite an extensive development but I think is in keeping with the area...

I'd actually booked us a suite and it was fantastic...if anything, it was a little too big for the furniture contained within...still a minor complaint considering...

The colours in the trees were amazing, really vivid, however I have to say that the view from our (private) garden was simply spectacular...it really couldn't be beaten...

We had a meal at a beautiful fish restaurant in Llandudno followed by a few drinks in the Queen Vic pub (not the Eastenders one)...

Simply a great weekend...definitely would go back.
