The Harbour

Recently we had a quick trip to one of my favourite destinations...Aberaeron in Wales...


A lovely harbour village with friendly people, lovely accommodations and great food...


We stayed at the Harbourmaster, but not in the hotel...instead we had the run of the cottage, two doors down...


This pretty pink cottage is quirky and old...


beautifully restored and decked out with new fittings...



the bedrooms sport locally woven Welsh blankets from one of the few remaining mills...



these lovely fabrics pop against the mainly white decor....



the bathrooms are stunning and invite you to have a long soak...


We were blessed with sunny weather (most of the time).. and mild temperatures...


A drive along the coastline revealed more gorgeous scenery...





looking seaward and also inland...


but my favourite spot is just wandering around the harbour...


clicking shots of little boats..


and the pretty cottages lined up along the water's edge.

  1. Ahh Robynne, that was just glorious! What a beautiful cottage, and that bathroom certainly does look inviting. The last shot with the little boats and the land behind looks like something that should be on a postcard.

  3. Hi Robyn,
    Looks like you had a good old fashioned sea side holiday- lovely!
    The cottage looks so cute, and a great place to return to in the evenings.
    Have a lovely week,

  4. Hello Robyn
    This looks like the perfect holiday. I love all the elements. The scenery is breath-taking and the accommodation is exactly to our taste. I could happily spend a week here - a painter's paradise.
    Thanks for sharing
    Have a wonderful weekend

  5. What a picture-perfect village! I confess I've to been to Wales since we've lived here, perhaps in fear I'd stay?

    Robyn, I'd love to invite you to 'Blogger's Tea' in London - it would be great to see you! Pop over to my blog for details :)

  6. That looks incredibly relaxing. I love the little cottages.....so lovely and peaceful-looking. That Welsh headboard is upholstered by the Welsh blanket company Melvyn Tregwynt (or something like that), I think. Is that right? They do such beautiful patterns....they really catch the eye.

    Gorgeous!
