The Story of Nant Gloyw*
*It means 'sparkling stream' in Welsh.
Nesscliffe Country Park.
We're Gayle and Michael, we've lived in Oswestry for over 20 years and we love the place! During 2018 we spent a lot of time staying in B&B's, dropping our children off at university, visiting relatives etc, and the journey home always seemed to involve a night away.
The more B&B's we stayed in, the more annoying similarities we found. Why so much plastic waste? Why those tiny single use shampoo bottles that you can never empty fully? Why such poor breakfast choices? Why no herbal tea in the hospitality tray? Why isn't the mattress comfier?
Later that year we took part in the Oswestry Round Challenge, a 33 mile walk to be completed in a day. Walking along the canal in the late afternoon was a struggle, so to keep our spirits up we started talking about how we would run a B&B and the changes we would make.
A few months later our children had left home and we opened as Nant Gloyw B&B.
We've welcomed guests from as far away as Moscow and Chicago, Israel and Vietnam, Hong Kong and Berlin, Paris and Melbourne. We hope you'll be one of our next guests.
