We absolutely loved The Yard, beautiful, quaint, super clean and it had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the patio doors opening onto the beautiful sea view in the living area and bedroom were just perfect.. The location was stunning, just a few metres from the most beautiful beach with Mountain View’s. Our host Kirsty was so friendly and so knowledgeable about north Wales and gave us many many options of places to visit and things to see and do. This is the best by far of all of the places we have stayed and we will revisit as soon as we can. If you want sea, mountains, peace and quiet and the best host then you really should book The Yard. ##### I Widdowson ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Portmeirion & Castell Deudraeth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrhyndeudraeth-Hotels-Hotel-Portmeirion-Castell-Deudraeth.h10075714.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaufort Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Beaufort-Park-Hotel.h912336.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Aberavon Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels-Best-Western-Aberavon-Beach-Hotel.h865770.Hotel-Information) > > [Blanco's Hotel Port Talbot](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Talbot-Hotels-Blancos-Hotel-Port-Talbot.h31632244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Towers Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Neath-Hotels-The-Towers-Hotel-And-Spa.h2305564.Hotel-Information) > > [Ty Afon, River House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Bryn-Eglwys-Hotel.h77966545.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Cabin Sleeps 5 Glan Gwna Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Stunning-2-Bed-Chalet-In-Caernarfon.h58060470.Hotel-Information) > > [Seiont Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Seiont-Manor-Hotel.h486288.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Plas Talgarth Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machynlleth-Hotels-Macdonald-Plas-Talgarth-Holiday-Resort.h13232286.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel St David's, Nr Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deeside-Hotels-Village-Hotel-St-Davids.h903462.Hotel-Information) > > [Château Rhianfa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menai-Bridge-Hotels-Chateau-Rhianfa.h5103718.Hotel-Information) > > [Quay Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conwy-Hotels-Quay-Hotel-And-Spa.h1517268.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-St-Pierre-Marriott-Hotel-Country-Club.h65879.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Goat Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Royal-Goat-Hotel.h24315685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-The-Royal-Victoria-Hotel.h1831174.Hotel-Information) > > [Plas Maenan Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanrwst-Hotels-Plas-Maenan-Country-House.h41741536.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Snowdon Pen-Y-Pass - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-YHA-Snowdon-Pen-Y-Pass-Hostel.h11886846.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Newport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Newport-Hotel.h46182979.Hotel-Information) > > [Plas Dinas Country House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Plas-Dinas-Country-House.h2026253.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliff Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardigan-Hotels-The-Cliff-Hotel-Spa.h11900793.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Magor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel.h3928584.Hotel-Information) > > [Tre-Ysgawen Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangefni-Hotels-Tre-Ysgawen-Hall.h3499549.Hotel-Information) > > [Bryn Mor Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Bryn-Mor-Beach-Hotel.h33462000.Hotel-Information) > > [Lion Quays Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oswestry-Hotels-Lion-Quays-Hotel-Spa.h1379396.Hotel-Information) > > [Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Merthyr-Tydfil-Hotels-Nant-Ddu-Lodge-Hotel.h15447245.Hotel-Information) > > [Trearddur Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holyhead-Hotels-Trearddur-Bay-Hotel.h15717627.Hotel-Information) > > [Rose Cottage Beddgelert Set on the Banks of the River Colwyn Snowdonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Rose-Cottage-Beddgelert-Set-On-The-Banks-Of-The-River-Colwyn-Snowdonia.h66021152.Hotel-Information) > > [Herons Lake Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Herons-Lake-Retreat.h33266089.Hotel-Information)
