Holiday Inn North Miami-Golden Glades, North Miami

Holidaying in North Wales

Advantages: Beautiful location, fantastic cottages with all amenities
Disadvantages: Just that you need some form of transport

My mum and her partner have spent a couple of holidays now at a location near Bala in North Wales - the location in question, Pen Cefn, boasts four properties for rent, each of differing proportions. This year, mum decided to treat me (because I reached the big 40) and my sister and her family to a week long holiday in one of the properties. Having had a superb time, I thought it was time to pass the news on to others. Address and location "Pen Cefn" Sarnau Bala Gwynedd LL23 7LG Tel: 01678 530481 or 530413 E-mail: bevianna@btinternet.com Website: www.pencefn.com Proprietors' names: Ian and Bev Moss, Anna Hayward The nearest town, about five miles away, is Bala (which is just inside the Snowdonia National Park), which is on the A494 road. Pen Cefn, which is a smallhold, plus the cottages, is just above a small hamlet ...

Review of Pen Cefn Cottage Holidays, North Wales

Wife in the north

Advantages: Some humour
Disadvantages: Not much happens

the journey up the A1 .It describes the many warning signs of how many people have been injured on this road in the past 3 years. I did laugh out loud at her comment that when she arrived in rural Northumberland-it could have been worse, she could have been dead! Judith clearly loves London and was very reluctant to move. However her husband had always loved Northumberland and as the family have a holiday cottage near Bamburgh, he persuades her to give living up north a year?s trial. Her husband is working in London so for a lot of the time Judith is left to cope with 2 young children and a baby. I could really relate to many of her entries concerning life with young children, such as when the baby hides the car keys in her toy box. There are also several very upsetting entries describing how her 5-year-old son is bullied at school. Judith ...

Review of Wife in the North - Judith O'Reilly

The North Pier, Blackpool

Advantages: Lots of fresh air, fully accessible by disabled visitors
Disadvantages: A small admission charge

visited here recently it was a lovely day and I can confirm that the pier is quite a sun trap. It was also not too overcrowded although I can imagine that at times during the peak holiday season that it can be. When you part with your 50p admission fee you are given a booklet with money off vouchers. These include a free ride on the carousel plus money off vouchers at the bar on selected drinks and also money off ice creams and coffee etc. Not one to turn down a freebie I persuaded my other half to accompany me on the carousel ride which is located next to the theatre at the far end of the pier. This was probably the first time I had been on a carousel since I was a child and we had a great time! I enjoyed visiting The North Pier and would certainly recommend it to anyone that is in Blackpool. The North Pier Theatre looks lovely from ...
