Holiday Cottage

 Guess by now many of you know that hubby & I went away for our 7th wedding anniversary to a cottage in North Wales.  This blog post is simply about the cottage, the gorgeous cottage :)  It sleeps 6 people so I'm sure you can imagine how much 2 people enjoyed all that space.  It was beautifully decorated & so peaceful, the only 2 noises you could hear all day long was birds singing and a few sheep in the farm at the back. There were many games, DVDs and CDs available to use & to my delight there was a Christmas CD & "It's a Wonderful Life".  We had a lovely time using the hot tub, watching films, playing board games and visiting the local area.  We had never been to North Wales & had never really hired a cottage before. It's always hotels or B&Bs. I loved how you could smell the fire in the living room as you came into the room everytime & kept imagining Christmas lights all over it. The cottage was an up side down cottage so you could reall take in the breathtaking views.

I had to share some the photos with you guys, hope you like them :)
