We had some heavy rain on Thursday which turned what was previously a trickling stream into a pool of water. For a Black Labrador that can mean only one thing ...

We love dogs and they are welcome at our Dog Friendly cottages in North Wales.

One of our delighted guests sent us this lovely picture of "Alfie" relaxing on the dog bed we supply for our canine guests. We love dogs and guests are welcome to bring up to 2 furry friends with them to stay in each cottage. https://caernarfoncottages.co.uk

This plaque is mounted on the Memorial Hall next to the War Memorial in Penygroes, Caernarfon next to our holidat cottages. It says in Welsh 'Yma y daeth 2,000 o ferched ar y 27 mai 1926 i gychwyn y Bererindod Heddwch dan y faner "HEDD NID CLEDD"' which translates as 'Here 2,000 women came on 27 May 1926 to start the Peace Pilgrimage under the banner "PEACE NOT SWORD"' in English.

Two thousand women from a number of villages in the hills around the local area gathered in the Market Square outside the Memorial Hall. They were led by peace activists Gwladys Thoday and Silyn Roberts and they set off on a 150 mile peace pilgrimage to Chester before 28 of them continued on to a national demonstration in Hyde Park, London where Mrs Thoday and Mrs Roberts addressed the crowd.

This was a turbulent period in history, two years before the suffragette movement had won the right for women to vote and the peace protesters were angry that they had no say in the running of the country or whether the nation went to war or not.

Many of the women carried the blue flag of peace. They would continue the Peacemakers Pilgrimage, some walking, others travelling by charabanc towards Chester.

It is incredible to think that a march which started outside the innocuous Conservative Club in the middle of the small village of Penygroes played a significant role in the suffragette movement’s struggle to win the vote for all women in this country.

Did you know there is a beautiful Italianate village in North Wales? It's called Portmeirion and Patrick McGoohan made it famous when he filmed his cult series "The Prisoner" there in the 1960's. Fans of the series might appreciate the framed memorabilia we have on display in the Old Labour Exchange. .Cottages

We are looking forward to welcoming guests to our luxury cottages in April 2023. For now the builders are finishing the job of converting this building which was formerly a Conservative Club and subsequently a Labour Exchange into two stunning, dog friendly holiday cottages. We will post regular updates as the work nears completion.
