When in Wales: Try the Y Goeden Eirin

Where: Dolydd, Wales, United Kingdom

The UK Times has given us plenty of food for thought this week with its take on the Top 10 Hotels in Britain. After the debacle of London's Capital Hotel just not living up to the hype, we think one of their tips does, and it's also been dubbed the "Green Guesthouse of the Year."

We like green, and that's one of the reasons we like the Y Goeden Eirin in the village of Dolydd, Wales. The building now used for this bed-and-breakfast style luxury eco-accommodation (that's a lot of hats to wear!) was originally a cow shed, but things have come a long way.

The getaway consists of just three rooms (two doubles and one twin), full of Welsh antiques collected over the centuries. Food, often local and organic, is served in the dining room.

And the name? Well, in case your Welsh is rusty, we can tell you Y Goeden Eirin is all about a plum tree and a book of poetry. Got it?
