Wales: Beach resort

Escape Boutique B&B;, 48 Church Walks, Llandudno; 011-441-492-877-776, www.escapebandb.co.uk. “I haven’t left Wales yet, but I felt I must send you an amazing find in the town of Llandudno. First off, Llandudno is a magical place, fairly undiscovered by tourists. It is an old Victorian beach resort with a beautiful crescent beach and pastel hotels lining the way across from the sea. Escape Boutique B&B; is one of the best B&Bs; I have ever been in, with crisp Egyptian cotton sheets, plasma TVs and welcoming hospitality of the owners. It is a not-to-be-missed experience.� Double rooms from $130.
