Wales

A newly refurbished, modernist farmhouse in Pen-y-Clip is set on the hillside overlooking the Menai Strait with views across to the Snowdonia Mountain Range.  Wales - a country often overlooked as a holiday destination for holiday makers offers a staggering amount. It is a truly beautiful place, and not just the rugged coastlines, sheer mountains and lush valleys, but the culture, tranquillity and pace of life too.

Pen y Clip is perfectly placed as a base for exploring not only Menai Bridge, but the whole region: from the Snowdonia National Park to Anglesey's great variety of beaches and those of the Llyn Peninsula. Being less than five minutes off the main A55 expressway Pen y Clip is easily accessible, but feels a world away from the stresses of everyday life.  What follows is just a taste of what Pen y Clip has to offer.

Snowdonia is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Snowdonia National Park is known as one of the most beautiful in Britain, and includes both mountains and coastline. It is also an area famed for the number and nature of outdoor activities on offer. A Welsh holiday cottage in Snowdonia will certainly not allow you simply to sit and enjoy the view!

Champery

Champery is located in the Swiss part of the Portes du Soleil ski area and offers excellent skiing facilities as well as breathtaking scenery for visitors and ski enthusiasts. Champéry's local slopes are very sunny and are ideally suited for intermediates and its biggest pull is its cosy and friendly ambience, which compensates for the less-than-convenient slope accessibility. The tourist facilities include activities such as horse-riding, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, etc in the summer.

Kalkan

Kalkan is an enchanting place and one of the most beautiful locations along Turkey's gorgeous Lycian Coast.  With the absence of mass tourism, Kalkan remains a charming and unspoiled haven of lush nature, brilliant blue crystal-clear sea, historic architecture, ancient history and warm traditional Turkish hospitality. 

A small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast of Turkey, Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism.  More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travellers looking for more than a "sun and sea" holiday. According to the Sunday Times, Kalkan attracts the kind of visitor who would also enjoy Tuscany or the Dordogne.  The Guardian likens the town to "the Italian Riviera minus the poseurs."

Besides the famous "Kalkan Style" historic architecture, the many excellent restaurants of Kalkan contribute to the special atmosphere within Kalkan.  Good dining has always been the way of life in Kalkan and continues today.  In fact, Kalkan is said to have the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant or square meter on the Turkish coast (over 100 of them!).  Additionally, Kalkan is especially renowned in Turkey for its numerous roof terrace restaurants and bars which offer a wonderful view of the town, sea and stars.  It's also nice to sit at one of the many fine harbour-side restaurants and watch the pleasure boats and fishermen leave early in the morning as you eat your breakfast, or see the fishing boats return with the day's catch in the evening.
Because of its great charm, Kalkan has a growing number of perennial visitors who say the town is the only holiday destination they would choose to visit repeatedly.  There is simply no other town quite like Kalkan along Turkey's coast.

It is near Dartmouth, Devon. It has steep rocky sides. At low tide there is a stony beach with some small rockpools.  The creek was home to Dartmouth Pottery, a local landmark building which has had many uses over 400 years, now converted to residential and holiday apartments.  Dartmouth is a great town to walk and you don't have to walk far to see some lovely architecture. Many houses and cottages in the town have views of the river and you'll find this one on the left as you take a stroll out to Warfleet Creek.

Start Bay lines the Eastern Coast of the South Hams.  Start Bay benefits from a magnificent coastline of high, sweeping clifts, interspaced with long beaches and ancient fishing villages now awash with colour and serving the needs of a modern society, with cafes, shops and old-fashioned country pubs. The area is popular with families, as it is within easy reach of both Kingsbridge and Dartmouth but offers many beaches, though these are mostly of coarse sand.
