Have you been watching the Winter Olympics? I find the Winter Olympics much more exciting than the Olympics Games.

With the warmer days of spring and summer ahead, lots of us will be thinking of planning our self catering holiday in Wales in the coming months. But why wait until then to have a holiday?

Yes, we’re ringing in the new year at Best of Wales with some new holiday properties! Here at Best of Wales we are excited about 2014.

Overseas visitors to Britain would rather visit Wales’ historic castles to visitor attractions including Buckingham Palace and Stonehenge, as revealed in a new report by VisitBritain, who surveyed more than 10,000 foreign tourists.

“It was snowing. It was always snowing at Christmas; December, in my memory, is white as Lapland, though there were no reindeers.”

In the old days people in rural parts of Wales used to get up in the early hours of Christmas morning, not to check what Sion Corn (Santa) had left in their stockings, but to make their way to church to sing carols!

Believe it or not, unlike the words of the song, not everyone wants to stay home for Christmas.

With less than 4 weeks to go until Christmas Day Santa aka Sion Corn, Father Christmas or St Nicholas has signed an exclusive deal with Best of Wales Holiday Cottages.
