Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This old stone rectory, now home to a boutique B&B, would be a lovely place to stay wherever it was located, but its position in Dolgellau, at the foot of the Cader Idris mountain and not far from the sea, makes it extra-special.
Its six bedrooms are thoughtfully decorated in a manner that's designed to be both in keeping with the Victorian property but artfully contemporary too, with free wi-fi, iPod docks, DVD players and games consoles, all decorated in a different style.
To be honest, we’re in awe of the personality they have given the rooms here, with each one as different from the last as you could imagine, varying from the cultured oriental style of Annis to the cool simplicity of Hazel.
You have robes and slippers in your room, freestanding baths or enormous showers – sometimes both – and there's a hot tub in the garden. Facilities also include a range of in-room beauty and wellbeing treatments, and they have recently opened a restaurant that is open for dinner and offers a great menu of local and seasonal Welsh dishes, paired with carefully selected wines from small specialist producers. Not for nothing is Ffynnon located on Love Lane – it's about a romantic a small hotel as you could wish for.
