Friday Photo – A loo with a view – in Welsh Wales
August 21, 2009 by HeatherCowper
When you next go camping and examine the facilities of your chosen camp site, will a loo with a view be high on your wish list?
We recently took our teen princesses camping at Trericket Mill in Wales, where they run a Bed and Breakfast, Bunkhouse and small campsite in their orchards. Very nice it was too, but the pride of place was for their renovated outside lavvy which overlooked the river and bridge across to the orchards. You couldn’t wish for a more picturesque scene of rural life while doing your business, what with the chickens and ducks running around.

You’d have to be fairly brave to leave the door open to take advantage of the scenery, with the other guests coming and going. There was a sign on the door proclaiming “Ty Bach Yn y Coedwig – Arachnaphobes may not enter”. But there was only a friendly toy spider hanging from the ceiling. If you’re a Welsh speaker do give me a full translation – my Google Translator made a scramble of it. Have you enjoyed any loos with a view on your travels?

How funny, I just posted a loo with a view on my Photo Friday just moments ago! Great minds…pee alike?

Well that really does look like a lovely loo. The most picturesque loo that I’ve visited was in Antigua in a pretty hotel with monkies and arrots hanging around. I kept hearing somebody yelling hello and when I turned around there was a parrot watching me in the loo window!

The best loo I’ve ever seen. I have never seen one nearly as nice.

what a hoot! i have a great loo story – up in northern Minnesota, on the boundary waters, a friend of mine has a cottage. they have a lovely wooden outdoor bathroom that looks through the woods onto the lake. AND! the top half of the door has a window – truly, a room with a view!

So cool! The setting is gorgeous.

How funny and how beautiful! The building itself is gorgeous, however, the whole spider thing might have freaked me out a little!

Ok…my comment should have read that the building itself is quaint and the setting is gorgeous!

@Jessiev
That loo at your friend sounds perfect if you can admire the view without being observed yourself.
@ Jen
I’m not too worried about spiders myself – I thought it was a big joke as they’d actually made the loo quite nice inside & no spiders webs – only a plastic spider for fun

Classic! I love the sign warning that Arachnophobes must not enter. Now all you need is a shower with a view.

I don’t know about leaving the door open…I don’t think I’d want to provide others with -that- view
But you’ve got to love a loo with a sense of humor!
