Bangor isn't ex-
actly blessed with accommodation options, but this university business centre has 57 en
suite rooms and makes for a comfortable (if slightly unusual) stay. There's an on-site res-
taurant and bar if you don't fancy the steep walk down into town and back.

Easy to miss, the Blue Sky Cafe hides itself down an alleyway off the high street.
Locally sourced ingredients go into its breakfasts, soups, sandwiches, burgers and salads,
and rich wood and restful-red walls make for a cosy ambience. Check the website for de-
tails of upcoming gigs.

Fresh
local produce, lovingly presented, and a strong Spanish influence are the key themes of
this friendly cafe-bar. It's a buzzy lunch spot, or call in for an afternoon vino and tasty
tapas (three plates for £9).
