King Arthur's influence is felt all over the sweeping slopes and slate-speckled valleys of Snowdonia -- legend even tells of his horse's hoof-print forever set in rock on a lake's shore. Fortunately, you won't need to pull a sword from a stone to follow in his footsteps; just Escape to Maes-y-Neuadd, in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. For £99, get a two-night stay in a double or twin room, with a continental breakfast served each morning (up to a £292 value). Situated close to the town of Harlech, the hotel is a charming country house hideaway, the ideal spot for a relaxing stay away from the furore at Camelot. Should you take a seat at a round table in the hotel's restaurant, you'll discover fine cuisine fit for any legendary monarch. Ingredients are sourced locally -- the fruit and vegetables even come from the garden -- and the hotel has been awarded four stars from Visit Wales in recognition of its accommodation and nightly five-course menu. When you're ready to head out looking for adventure, Snowdonia is a truly unspoilt region of dramatic scenes and natural beauty. Head north and the majestic Snowdon dominates the horizon; if you're feeling strong, you can trek up to the highest point in Wales, or if you're looking for a more leisurely ascent, take the spectacular Snowdon Mountain Railway route.
