Wanted: welsh cottage or camping for easter weekend...

[codlord]

A long shot this one, but does anyone know of any places to stay in wales (for the easter weekend) that are self catering and pref not staffed or on an existing farm or whatever.

I can find loads of cottages on-line but they all seem dead posh, and I'm just looking for something reasonably basic pref remote so me and some friends can get away, have a laugh and not disturb anyone.

Even somewhere to camp would be o.k. (but not a camp site - somewhere where we can stay up late and make noise and not get kicked off!).

Any info or web sites to check out would be appreciated...

It does not really matter that much as long as its reasonably nice and/or a reasonable base for outdoor activities etc. Some of us will be coming from hampshire/surrey area (so south would be better for us) and some from chester way (so north would be better for them).

We are not a bunch of yobbos or anything, just a mixed group aged between about 20 and 30 who want a base for having a laugh and making some noise in the evenings and prob do some activities and a bit of mountain biking during the days.

If you stay here, there is a brilliant local pub in Bethesda called Tyn Y Coed...They do fantastic organic food and good ale.


Sorry the pub i was talkin about is in Capel Curig,

Its a little pricy to stay here considering the bunkhouses around, but the food and ale is superb along with a good friendly atmosphere...

coincedence if you look at the ikle map on that site it doesnt show it but there is a byway following the A5 south from the cottage to capel curig, it was advertised in a land rover mag last month, its one of the ones i intend to try out this weekend, in the write up the landy got stuck and they had to leave it there over night.
