Uncover the hidden jewel of Wales in Prestatyn with a stay in this escape that marries modern comfort with a touch of home. Be welcomed by a bright environment that invites relaxation. Let time slow down as you gather on plush sofas or enjoy films on the generous Smart TV. Outside, discover a patio that calls for al fresco dining and playful afternoons for youngsters. Within, a fully equipped kitchen to inspire culinary creativity is crowned by a large family table for shared meals. The home sleeps six across three inviting bedrooms, including two regal-sized options and one delightful bunk bed room for children. A relaxed washroom provides a shower and separate bath while an additional WC is found downstairs. Immerse yourself in local coastal paths, sandy beaches and pleasurable pub experiences all within doable distances. This retreat caters for all ages and promises charm-filled days of leisure.

Welsh Wonders

Escape to this secluded cabin retreat tucked away in the green valleys of a 170-acre working farm. With the Brecon Beacons National Park on your doorstep for country walks and fishing, the pace of life is slow here. For any more bustle and local amenities, you’ll need to drive to the pretty towns of Brecon and Builth Wells – a short drive away. Though with a private hot tub and south-facing veranda to soak up the far-reaching views over the Honddu Valley at home, we wouldn’t blame you for staying put. If we were being picky, the interiors are a tad dated, and the bathroom is pocket-sized. But we'll let that slide for such a unique location.

Honddu Green

Tucked away in a secluded valley, this cottage offers an escape from it all. Sure, its traditional style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. With four-legged friends welcome, this is a holiday your dogs will want to join you on with walks aplenty right from the door – and if you fancy picking up the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, it’s a ten-minute stroll away. Nearby Newport beach is perfect for a coastal day before returning home to enjoy the sunset and sea views from the terrace. 

Valley Charm

Take over this Victorian manor home, perched on a hillside overlooking Pendine Sands. Offering nine bedrooms, each with separate bathrooms, this palatial home has a multi-generational family stay written all over it. Kids will love you for the cinema room and separate games cabin in the gardens. And who wouldn’t be impressed with that grand dining room commanding sea views and a hot tub to soak up the sunset vistas? If we were being picky, some of the interiors feel a little tired in places. But for a home of this size, we can forgive that. Location-wise, you’re a short walk from the seven-mile-long beach and Pendine's seaside resort centre.

The Manor by the Sea

At this lovely stone farm cottage, adopting the slow pace of nature and taking it easy is widely encouraged as you unwind in its fairy tale atmosphere and quirky interior. Located within a courtyard of a working farm, it’s an animal lover’s dream – not to mention the well-known farm shop on your doorstep so you can pack the country-style kitchen with fresh, local produce. When you aren’t snuggled up on the sofa or catching a quick cat nap in your rustic bedroom, you can sip your morning coffee on the private patio, taking in the blooming garden, while saying hello to a cow or two. We can vouch for the panoramic views over the rolling green hills and country fields too. Although two people can enjoy the comfortable bed, we would happily stay here alone for a calming solo trip. Guests are welcome to wander around the extensive garden, which even includes a picturesque bridge over the lilly pond (don’t worry, we’ve checked for trolls). And if you can drag yourself away from the peace and quiet of your pretty barn conversion home, you can spend days exploring the beach at Colwyn Bay, or the promenade of Llandudno, and even the mountains of Snowdonia National Park. All located within a 15-minute drive. 

Hansel and Gretel

This barn conversion in deepest Herefordshire is bursting with rural authenticity. Not only is the property located close to a peaceful nature reserve complete with lakes, but it's also been Grade-II listed to protect its historical importance. However, despite this impressive pedigree, the home's interior is pretty contemporary, with a sleek kitchen, four-poster bedrooms and tiled bathrooms sitting quite comfortably underneath the original wooden ceiling beams. Out the front, there's a private garden with seating and views of hills and forests, but there's also an additional courtyard to the back that's shared with neighbours. If gazing out at the countryside vista inspires you to explore this beautiful county, you're well-placed for bird-spotting and long rambles, perhaps finished with a meal at The Stagg Inn, a well-praised gastropub that sits no more than two minute's walk from your front door.

Long-Eared Owl

Tucked away in a valley at the heart of the Black Mountains, this sprawling home is a dreamy countryside escape. The home is split between an old farmhouse, a cottage, and a studio-style barn, making it a marvellous choice for group getaways. It’s in a stunning location and offers absolute peace and quiet, as well as privacy. If you’re looking to go off-grid and surround yourself with nature, you’ll love this home. 

The farmhouse is as traditional as they come, with wood beams and a roaring fireplace. In the mornings, cook hearty breakfasts on the AGA while enjoying the outstanding views of the valley from the kitchen window. From almost every angle here, the views captivate. 

Perhaps you’ll lace up your boots and head out on a nature walk. There’s an acre of woodland on the 40-acre farm, as well as a stretch of river for you to paddle in. There’s direct access to the Brecon Beacons National Park from the back of the farmhouse, so you won’t run out of hiking or cycling routes. 

When you return after a day exploring the Great Outdoors, you’ll be glad of the mountain spring water hot tub. Fire it up and soak your aching muscles, then spend the rest of the evening playing board games in front of the fire. 

The nearest pub is a fifteen-minute drive, and the cafes and bookshops of Hay-on-Wye are twenty-three minutes away. It may feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, but you can grab a pint or a slice of cake easily enough. Perfection. 


Serenity in the Black Mountains

Perched on the edge of the river Clydach and surrounded by trees, this little cottage makes the perfect setting to experience the idyllic beauty of South Wales. 

Formerly a farmer’s building used for animals on the Plas Cilybebyll estate, the owners have thoughtfully transformed this space into a private sanctuary. And stepping inside, you’ll find a home that celebrates its origins whilst bringing ease and comfort to your stay. From the traditional Welsh craftsmanship to the local art and personal touches, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. So whether you’re listening to the sound of the water on the patio, enjoying a meal under the trees or relaxing with a long soak in the bath, you’ll find this home provides a constant sense of serenity.  

Days can be spent admiring the local wildlife, observing ancient plant fossils and hiking across this majestic landscape – there’s a farm trail leading directly from the house. You’ll also find the nearest supermarket, pubs and cafes are just minutes away. 

The Singing Brook

Embrace a slower pace of life, tucked into the idyllic Dyfi Valley, surrounded by the rolling hills of Northern Wales. This cottage feels like a storybook getaway, with a garden dotted with vibrant foliage and a soothing stream passing by. It's the perfect place to switch off and soak in the beauty of the great outdoors, with the vast Snowdonia National Park on your doorstep. 

This quaint cottage is as beautiful inside as it is on the outside, a mix of stucco walls and traditional stone brick. We love the cosy living room, with wood-beamed ceilings, a stone brick wall, and a crackling wood-burning fireplace. It's warm and inviting – the ideal place for relaxing and watching the TV after a day on your feet. It might be a traditional cottage, but the kitchen is sleek, contemporary, and big enough for everyone to pitch in to help prepare meals. While there's something comforting and familial about preparing meals together and then eating around the kitchen table, we imagine you'll also love the outdoor dining table. 

The garden is surrounded by luscious, beautiful greenery, where you can spend lazy mornings tucking into a continental breakfast out in the fresh air, enjoying the comforting sounds of the chirping birds and the babbles of the stream. When you're energised after a hearty breakfast, the historic market town of Machynlleth is just a twelve-minute drive away. There are endless walking trails around here, or simply explore the town's art galleries, quaint shops, cafes, pubs, museums, and more. And if you want to take a walk along the coast, you're within easy reach of North Wales' blustering beaches. 

Across the Footbridge

With the flexibility to sleep up to 24 people, this magical country house is all set up for special events, gatherings of friends and family, activity holidays and more. With views across the Wye Valley, it's set on five acres of pristine land and has nine bedrooms for you to choose between – either in the beautifully restored and extended 17th-Century farmhouse or the stunning new guest annexe. 

Lovers of interior design will have a field day here. It's been impeccably put together by its owner Kari, a professional designer, with nods to traditional country chic, contemporary cool and even Antipodean modern rustic – Kari grew up in Australia. The main house having been extended, the old stable unit was transformed into an architect-designed annexe with a series of split-level suites that wouldn't look out of place in a boutique hotel in Shoreditch.

The huge, 40ft kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need to cook for your group, with an incredible four ovens, five hobs and two dishwashers, or you can take the hard work out of it by hiring a private chef. You'll have four main living spaces with enough room to get together as a large group or enjoy a bit of privacy, and there are all sorts of outdoor seating spots – including a fire pit area, dining terrace and an Aussie-style shack enjoying views across the valley.

Built for entertaining, you'll have a games barn where you can play table tennis, work out on the gym equipment and grab some garden games, as well as a room perfect for group activities. There's even a wood-fired hot tub, a children's natural play area and private fields for you to explore.

Just a few miles from the book town of Hay-on-Wye, it's easy to explore the Welsh border from here, and hiking, cycling and canoeing are all popular local attractions. And if you fancy an action-packed break, your host can put together a unique itinerary for your group. You're bound to make memories that last a lifetime.    

The Memory Jar

If you're on the hunt for a serene stay in South Wales then look no further than this cosy lodge, based in the picturesque town of Cowbridge. This home is perfectly placed just a short drive from Barry Island, the fun-filled seaside resort that you may recognise from the TV show Gavin & Stacey, where you can enjoy thrilling fairground rides, relax on sandy beaches and go on merry walks along the rugged coastline.

This home is ideal for those who want to get back to nature – it's surrounded by five acres of lush green shared gardens that you can explore, including a barbecue where you can grill up summertime feasts, as well as a communal outdoor pool that's fantastic for cooling down on summer days. Inside, you'll find cosy lodge-style interiors that make the home feel really welcoming, along with all the mod cons you need for a fabulous stay. You can cook up full Welsh breakfasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, or relax with a glass of wine by the log burner fireplace – and all in absolute peace.

Welsh Toffee
