- The quirky Grade II‑listed "Ugly House" (Tŷ Hyll) tearoom in Snowdonia — a favourite with locals and tourists — is going to auction (guide price £199,000), and the manager says she's "heartbroken" and fears it could become private.
- The Snowdonia Society is selling the cottage to reinvest proceeds into Eryri's landscape, wildlife and people, and says it would encourage whoever buys it to keep it visitor‑friendly; the auction is set for 23 September.
- Locals are upset — a petition with 850+ signatures urges a pause and community alternatives, with many citing the house's folklore ties (tŷ unnos) and its sentimental value.
