Glyn & Corina Davies


Here’s one for foodies. Bodnant Welsh Food is one of the best showcases for … well, Welsh food. The centre, based at a beautifully renovated farm complex in the Conwy Valley, features a farm shop, restaurant, tea room and in-house cookery and wine schools. What’s more, you can stay here, enjoying not just the shopping and dining but also Bodnant’s luxury farmhouse accommodation. Eighteenth- century Furnace Farmhouse has been renovated to the same standards as the food centre. In fact, you’ll have difficulty believing that this was once a working farm. Stylish furnishings and Welsh handmade fabrics are much in evidence in the elegant, beautifully appointed rooms, and the views over the lush fields, hills and riverbanks of the Conwy Valley are as delicious as the breakfasts – which, Bodnant being Bodnant, are very tasty indeed (go for the classic Welsh breakfast, freshly prepared from home-sourced ingredients).


16 The Great Little Places Guide 2017


Your hosts Glyn and Corina have been friends of Great Little Places for many years. We met them when they were both managing very successful hotels, and we’re delighted to report that this hospitable, professional couple have now struck out on their own. Their gorgeous Georgian guest house is in the pretty southern Snowdonia village of Pennal between Aberdyfi and Machynlleth (it’s the ultimate coast and country location). It’s furnished and decorated in a contemporary, understated way, with soothing colours, artworks, lush fabrics and period features such as wooden shutters, wall panelling and cast-iron fireplaces. But that’s just half of the story. The enterprising couple also run Glan yr Afon/Riverside, a stylish – and very popular – restaurant based at the village’s 16th-century inn. Breakfast is served here (it’s just a two minute walk from Llety Brynawel) – and we’re confident that you’ll be back for lunch or dinner. Or both.
