Having experienced the joys of the outdoors through family holidays and work, our aim was to provide this to others through offering a range of self catering holiday accommodation and outdoor activities. 

Initially we had planned to open a camping barn / bunkhouse at our own property but saw an opportunity and purchased a quaint cottage at the foot of Mount Snowdon to offer self catering holiday accommodation. 1½ years later we finally converted our barn and opened an alpine style camping barn.

Gordon Neil

Having always enjoyed walking and climbing Gordon gained his Mountain Leader (Summer) Award in 1996 while working for the Surrey Youth Service in Epsom running a Duke of Edinburgh Open Award Centre. Having moved to North Wales with it's range of climbing it was only a matter of time before Gordon qualified as a climbing instructor gaining the Single Pitch Award in 1999. Both these qualifications are run by the MLTW. 

Having worked in the computer industry since college it was a refreshing change for Gordon to commence working as a freelance outdoor pursuits instructor. 

On a personal front Gordon continues to push his own development both on the water and in the mountains. 

Gordon has completed both the Winter Mountain Leader and the Mountain Instructor Award Training courses and is now a BCU Level III Sea Kayak Coach.
