Ideally located in the heart of Snowdonia, the hotel has been welcoming guests for over one hundred years. After a busy day exploring, it’s time to kick off your boots and spruce up in one of the 104 fully equipped, en-suite rooms, most of which have shower over bath. All rooms offer tea & coffee making facilities, telephone, TV with Freeview channels, toiletries, hairdryer and a lift serves all floors. Spend your evening enjoying a taste of Wales in the Padarn Restaurant or Eryri Bar & Lounge.

Monday

Greeted by your door-to-door taxi service who will take you to meet the main coach and your tour driver. We depart Boston mid-morning and travel to Wales, making appropriate comfort stops en route. We aim to arrive mid-afternoon, with time to check into our hotel and begin exploring the local area should you wish.

Tuesday

Drive through Snowdonia's spectacular mountains to the Royal town of Caernarfon, on the shores of the Menai Strait, where HM The King was invested as Prince of Wales back in 1969. We then head over the Menai Straits and on to the Isle of Anglesey, where we have a little time in picturesque Beaumaris. The castle is an unfinished masterpiece, built in 1295. This afternoon we board the all-weather cruiser to Puffin Island - home to many species of birds and wildlife. The 1½ hour cruise, with live commentary, takes you right round the island with regular sightings of puffins, grey seals, and dolphins.

To the town of Porthmadog and included entrance to Portmeirion, the unique Italian style village, Portmeirion has served as the location for numerous films and television shows, most famously as "The Village" in the 1960s television show The Prisoner.

Thursday

Today we enjoy the highlight of the holiday: At 3560ft, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is the highest mountain in England and Wales. We take a diesel train ride on the Snowdon Mountain Railway for a journey to the "rooftop of Wales", and weather permitting, we will have spectacular views. We enjoy the rest of the day at leisure in Llanberis with the National Slate Museum, Llanberis Lake Railway and the Quarry Mans Hospital within walking distance of the hotel.

Friday

We stop in Chester, A cathedral city that siting on the River Dee in the county of Cheshire, Chester has a lot to offer. It is the second largest settlement in Cheshire and was founded in the Roman era and carries a great deal of historic and cultural history due to its heritage. We depart mid-afternoon and return to Boston, to your awaiting door to door taxis.
