JTM Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 ^^^ Unbelievable that some people have no respect. Turning up in the dead of night expecting a tour, what a nerve. Having a look from a distance is fine but knocking at the door, now that is completely out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledastray Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thank you for posting this. It amuses me that the reporter refers to the house as a "tiny cottage". I've stayed in a tiny British cottage before and that is much bigger than tiny. I love it that they are still off the grid but using solar power. Good for them!

DropDown Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Playing devil's advocate here...while the intrusion of privacy on the part of some over zealous fans is annoying, the owners don't see to mind capitalizing on the fact that it is a LZ "monument".

Anonymous9676 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I was fiddling around on google maps looking at old locations in the uk when a thought came across my mind. I asked myself "is a bron-yr-aur on here?" And sure enough it was. I clicked on it and it said Bron-Yr-Aur retreat. I flooded the link it had and came across a website where you can apparently stay at the cottage. Has anyone else ever come across this? Here are the links: 1. main site https://bronyraur.com 2. The page I originally found https://bronyraur.com/product/bron-yr-aur-retreat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
