No,i do not think so.
I have friends living in llandudno, but ive recently moved from South Wales to live in Dyffryn Ardudwy.
I used to live in Cyncoed, Cardiff for nineteen years, but the noise and congestion of city life became a nuisance.
When you feel like you have broken every bone in your body, falling roughly below Rhinog Fach, as i did some years ago, you are drawn back to this area of Snowdonia, its got great memories for me.
Never in my life did i dream of living in the area five years ago, but Dyffryn knocks Cardiff into touch no problem.
Over the years ive ventured to Snowdonia many times, actually i know it just as well as the Beacons, but seven years ago i discovered The Rhinogs on a beautiful Autumn day.
Now that i have the financial means behind me, to retire early, i fell in love with this gorgeous two bedroom cottage in Dyffryn.
Its was built over 400yrs ago, but has had a top and bottom modern refit, virtually a new building other than the massive stone structure.
From my kitchen window, i can see Moelfre, Yr Lether and Diffwys off to the right, and less than a mile to the gorgeous Dyffryn beach, and optional naturist section if its warm enough.
Cardiff if needs be, is a two and a bit hours away, and Snowdonia within ten minutes walk from my front door.
I cannot think of a nicer place to live at the moment.
Peace, Tranquility, local shop over the road, good rail service, views to dream about, and this cosy cottage with log burner in the lounge.
