Also, on second thoughts perhaps Bardsey Island isn't ideal for a 4 day Christmas family break.
According to the Wikipedia article on it, the monastery there was dissolved in 1537. So you won't be able to hear monks chanting (unless you believe in ghosts and have a vivid imagination.)
It also mentions that there were only 4 people living on the island in 2002, which is fine if these people run the local B&B, corner shop, and pub, but probably not otherwise.
and apparently "Sometimes boats are unable to reach or leave Bardsey Island for weeks, and in 2000 seventeen island visitors became stranded for two weeks when gales prevented a boat going to rescue them".
But on the plus side, it is great for wildlife, especially bird watching and sea lion spotting.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I have to admit to liking the Brecon Beacons after going there a couple of times as a lad on an Outward Bound course. Went back many times afterwards on either the motorbike or in a car, camping and living on the land and visiting the jazz festival in Brecon. Took Frau D. a couple of years back and she was quite impressed. Also the mushrooms are pretty good at this time of year“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
