Evening, folks. Peter Dive here. I’m currently sitting out on the porch of The Lodge House with a cold drink, watching the sun dip behind the Rhinogydd mountains. There’s a specific kind of quiet you only get here in Bronaber, broken only by the occasional sheep or...

Morning, everyone. Peter Dive here. I’m currently sat on the terrace of the Rhiw Goch Inn (LL41 4UY) with a mug of coffee that’s probably 40% caffeine and 60% optimism. It’s the first of June, the sun is actually peeking over the Rhinogydd mountains, and the air has...

There’s something about a North Wales sunset that just hits different. Maybe it’s the way the light catches the rugged peaks of the Rhinogydd, or perhaps it’s just that first sip of a cold pint after a long day of hiking. Whatever it is, if you’re staying with us at...

Morning, folks. Peter Dive here. I’m currently writing this with a lukewarm mug of tea in one hand and a handful of lime mortar in the other. If you’ve been following our progress at Rhiw Goch Inn (LL41 4UY), you’ll know I’m neck-deep in restoring this 16th-century...

Let’s be honest for a second: there is absolutely nothing like that first sip of a cold pint after a long day of hiking, mountain biking, or: in my case: trying to figure out how to restore a 16th-century chimney without it falling on my head. I’m Peter Dive, and if...

Morning, folks! Peter Dive here. If you’re reading this, you’re probably scrolling through a thousand different tabs, trying to figure out where to park your boots (and your family) for a summer break in North Wales. I get it. Booking a Snowdonia lodge or finding a...

Let’s be honest: after you’ve spent six hours hauling yourself up and down Snowdon (or Eryri, as we locals call it), the last thing you want is to fight for a sticky table in a plastic-menu chain restaurant. You want a pint that tastes like victory, a plate of food...

Alright, it’s 6:00 AM on a Thursday morning here at the Rhiw Goch Inn, and let me tell you, the "reality check" hits a bit differently when your backyard is the heart of Snowdonia National Park. I’m Peter Dive, and while most of you are probably nursing a...
