We know how many amazing accommodation providers there are in the Cambrian Mountains. We’ve visited over a hundred and fifty in the last five years. Some times during the day and occasionally at night.
This year we’re going to try and help accommodation providers and build on their strengths. Strengths identified by their guests and discovered in comments books and online reviews.
2023 Cambrian Mountains Astounding Views and Reviews Project
A big Blwyddyn Newydd Dda to you and hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2023.
We’re always looking for different ways to raise the profile of the Cambrian Mountains as a visitor destination, so this year, with your help, we’d like to try something new.
It’s quite possible that you collect visitor feedback in one form or other, via a visitors’ book or via an online review facility.
If so, we’d love to make use of some of your complementary comments and promote your accommodation on the strength of your positive and descriptive visitor feedback.
This is what we’d like you to do to get the ball rolling:
- Send us a visitor comment that mentions your property as well as a reference to the views, scenery and landscape(examples below)
- Say where your comment owner was from(name and location)
- Include the words Cambrian Mountains: Area of Astounding Natural Beauty on the homepage of your website along with our brand logo(logo attached)
Yn Gymraeg Mynyddoedd Cambrian: Ardal o Harddwch Naturiol Syfrdanol
Use of Area of Astounding Natural Beauty and the brand logo at Cambrian Escapes.
e.g. as seen on www.cambrianescapes.co.uk/stay-2 above, where they have used the logo on the bottom of the page and the words in the paragraph
Please use this online form to submit your visitor comment information:
Here’s a few examples of visitor comments we’ve spotted on online review sites recently:
“Bwthyn Cerrig is perfect and we drove along a mountain road and discovered some amazing scenery”
Sara and Dewi from Swansea
“The owners were so welcoming and suggested we must visit the waterfalls outside the village. The children loved the waterfalls”.
Trimbles from Norfolk
“The property was in an incredibly tranquil location. We arrived after dark and couldn’t believe how many stars we could see”.
Jill and family from Lancashire
“A beautiful secluded spot with views across the Cambrian Mountains landscape from behind the property(which we could access)”.
Debbie and Dave Winchester
“Our 4th visit. Situated on the edge of Rhayader and ten minutes from the town centre. Very peaceful with a nature reserve nearby”.
Seb and family, Doncaster
