We have been blessed with some beautifully warm weather over the past week and North Wales has been basking in the spring sunshine. Layers of coats and hats have been shed and it has been wonderful to feel the warmth of the sun's golden rays and watch them sparkle on the tips of waves on the beach.

Splashes of true spring green are bursting into life as leaf buds unfurl and the blossom starts to break open on fruit trees. Daffodils are nodding in the breeze, tulips cracking open into bright colour and big bumblebees can be heard thrumming around, hungrily harvesting pollen from early flowers.

For those who know us well, several new cottages have joined our collection since the New Year, offering yet more lovely places to stay. Take a look at The Old Barn near Bodnant Garden, Hen Cymyran near Valley, Willow Cottage near Gaerwen, 2 Tyn Lon and Ty Pen just outside Beaumaris, The Old Tannery in Beaumaris and Lleiniog Cottage. And we've welcomed back both 10 Bunkers Hill in Beaumaris and Ty'r Ardd near Red Wharf Bay, both of which are under new ownership.

Make the most of this beautiful time of year with a short break or week away - spend a few days in one of our hand-picked holiday cottages on Anglesey or across North Wales.

Here's some quick links to breaks on Anglesey and across North Wales arriving later this week:
