Stunning North Wales holiday lets with their own swimming pools
The coronavirus pandemic has forced many holidaymakers to rethink their plans this year.
Thousands of travellers have had to reschedule or cancel their trips abroad and in the UK due to lockdown restrictions around the world resulting in travel bans, cancelled flights and accommodation closing.
But just because you’re staying close to home doesn’t mean you have to lose out on those holiday benefits - including a pool.
All of these North Wales holiday homes have pools – some are indoor, outdoor and one is even a natural swimming pool.
Traffic update
No major delays on the roads to report.
'We are screaming out for help but no one is listening' say mum and daughter who fear losing home and business
A desperate mother and daughter who fear they could lose their hotel business and home this autumn say they are “screaming out for help” but that no one is listening.
Laura Murphy runs Ty’n Rhos Country House Hotel, in Seion, near Caernarfon with her mum Hilary, who bought the business nine years ago - putting time, money, and passion into creating a five star destination.
They were on course for an incredible year but like everyone in the sector closed down in March as the Covid pandemic hit.
