“Macdonald Plas Talgarth Resort delivers space and views in spades, set amid gardens near Pennal; the apartments and bungalows make a superb base for families exploring the Welsh coast and countryside. Indoor pools, Jacuzzis, and the restaurant add real value, and I particularly note the friendly, helpful staff. It's a spot that doesn't need to be modern to be marvelous.”
