Alright, look. I get asked this more than I get asked where the nearest pint is (which, by the way, is coming soon once I finish the renovations on the main Inn!). You’re planning a trip to North Wales, you’ve got your hiking boots ready, and you’re staring at a...

Morning, everyone! Peter Dive here, coming at you from a very sunny morning at the Rhiw Goch Inn. I’m currently sitting with a steaming mug of coffee, looking out over the Rhinogydd mountains, and let me tell you, if you haven’t booked your summer getaway yet, you’re...

Pull up a chair, grab a cold one, and let me tell you a secret: there is no place on Earth like Snowdonia (or Eryri, as we locals call it) when the sun starts its slow dip toward the Irish Sea. It’s Monday, the 18th of May, and out here at the Rhiw Goch Inn, the air...
