Christmas boltholes for festive gatherings in North Wales
Some Christmas dreams deserve a grand entrance.
The whole gang arriving, arms full of gifts and bottles. Velvet, sequins, something gloriously overdressed for dinner. A table laid with candles, crackers and every excuse to linger.
Dream of gathering on Anglesey, with the Menai Strait as your winter backdrop, or taking over a bolthole on the Llŷn Peninsula for a Christmas with a little theatre. Fill the kitchen with good things: Welsh cheeses, something bubbling in the oven, a generous pinch of Halen Môn. Let lunch become an afternoon of stories, games and increasingly ambitious paper crowns.
Beyond the windows, North Wales supplies the scenery. Inside, you supply the sparkle. One more toast, someone’s favourite song, the pleasure of having everyone under the same roof.
For the hedonists, the feast-makers and those who believe Christmas calls for something fabulous: find a house worthy of the gathering.
Find the setting for your festive gathering.
