Originally from the Midlands we have lived in Wales for 45+ years. As well as Mick being a builder we have spent a lot of time running a bed and breakfast business from various homes that we have built/renovated. We are both retired and moved into our present home at the end of April 2019. We wanted to downsize but love where we live so our son and daughter in law bought our house and we have built this 2 bedroom lodge in the large garden. Our exchangers are free to use the garden, sit in the gazebo where you may be joined by the Border Collie, Dyfi.
We both enjoy travelling and meeting new people. We have done a lot of exchanges over the past 25+ years, mainly to the USA which is where we discovered the sport of Pickleball that we are now trying to introduce to our village. We haven't exchanged over the last few years as we've been looking after our almost 4 year old grandson while Mum and Dad are at work as well as Mick working as a builder. He has now retired, Theo is at school and suddenly we have the freedom to start exchanging again.
We do a lot with our local village hall, both of us are on the committee and we run a short mat bowling club, boccia as well as pickleball. As well as that Jane enjoys walking, line dancing and swimming. Mick is a member of the local snooker club. It will usually be just the two of us travelling although we may occasionally be joined by friends

Beschrijving van het huis dat wij aanbieden voor ruil
Home is a recently built (April 2019) lodge set in the grounds of our sons home. It has a modern open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with large bath and shower, utility room and toilet/washbasin. The lodge is really well insulated and warm with underfloor heating. The master bedroom has a 6ft bed, wardrobes on one wall, tv. and at the other end of the lodge is the
guest room with double divan, wardrobe, chest of drawers, tv. Sea views from all rooms.
It is situated in the friendly coastal village of Dyffryn Ardudwy on the southern edge of the Snowdonia national Park. We are 34 miles from the historic town of Caernarfon with its Edwardian castle, 15 miles from the harbour town of Porthmadoc home of the Ffestiniog railway and 13 miles from the famous Italianate village of Portmeirion. Harlech castle is 5 miles to the North and the picturesque town of Barmouth, with its famous 150 year old railway bridge is 5 miles to the South. The Cambrian coast railway is said to be one of the most scenic railways in the UK.

Dyffryn Ardudwy is a typical small welsh village. It is a bi lingual area with an even mix of English and Welsh. We have an excellent male voice choir (Cor Meibion Ardudwy) in the area and visitors are always welcome at the weekly Sunday night practices. We are about 5 mins easy walk from the centre of the village where there is a newsagents/post office and a Spar supermarket with an excellent butcher ( not at all biased, one of the butchers is 1 of Micks brothers). Just a couple of minutes further on, set back in the fields are the Neolithic Burial Chambers, a popular tourist attraction. The village hall has an excellent café attached that caters for vegetarian, vegan, lactose and
gluten free diets. For larger supermarkets there is a co op in Barmouth and Tesco, Lidl and Aldi in Porthmadog. The beach is about a 30 min walk down peaceful lanes and through the sand dunes. The railway station is 15 mins walk and bus stop 2 mins. The famous Royal St Davids Golf club is 5 miles away in Harlech.

Steepest street in world.
Fford Pen Llech, a street in the town of Harlech, Wales, dethroned streets that were previously thought to be the world's steepest in 2019 when it reported an incline of 37.45%. This makes the street more narrow than the others on this list by a small margin.
