The Royston, Wales

The wonderful thing about this part of Wales is that there are some stunning, affordable properties to be found. The Royston is a brilliant example, set in a wild, relatively untouched area of Snowdonia. Perhaps that’s why the latest owners, previously London-based Clive Sweeting and Rob Perham chose it. They completely revamped the Victorian building (the live-in-a-caravan-for-several-years kind of renovation) to create seven guest rooms with a distinctly modern feel – no farmhouse vibes here. Mid-century chairs sit under huge bay windows and quirky prints hang opposite striking brass light fittings with spherical, moon-like bulbs. It may be owned by two ex-city workers, but everything about it is as local as possible. Eggs are from hens that cluck by your feet as you arrive (they were gifted to the couple from a neighbouring farm) and other ingredients on the menu are grown in the flourishing kitchen garden.
