This charming home is the perfect spot for a family getaway to Wales. With plenty of seating space available for hours of socialising and watching movies together, as well as a brilliant games room for those who love a challenge. The abundance of windows allows a wonderful amount of natural daylight to pour into every corner, making it easy to find a spot to relax as you read a book. Whip up a freshly baked Victoria sponge in the bright kitchen, or cook up a storm with a delicious home-cooked meal for the whole family to enjoy together. 

Tuck into tasty plates of food together at the large dining table by the window, followed by a dip in the outdoor hot tub, accompanied by a bottle of wine. Evenings can be spent in the amazing games room, fitted with a mini-bar for the adults. Challenge your loved ones to a game of billiards or simply relax at the bar with a champagne flute to round the day off.

It isn't just the home that's incredibly dreamy, with the destination being a cosy village called Llanfarian. The lovely Ystwyth Trail is close by for an afternoon walk under the sun. Take a drive to the coastal town of Aberystwyth where you can dine the day away at a wide variety of eateries and cafes, followed by a trip to the beach and promenade.

In the small village of Llanfarian, set in its own enclosed grounds in this detached cottage with a private hot tub, wood-burning fire, and gardens with a patio and outdoor dining area. The popular seaside town of Aberystwyth is less than three miles away where you can enjoy two beaches, a promenade with the oldest pier in Wales, a medieval castle, and a cliff railway with incredible views and the biggest camera obscura in the world. Take full advantage of direct access to the Ystwyth bike trail from the cottage – which links Aberystwyth to Tregaron in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. 

After a busy morning of exploring and sightseeing, we would love to enjoy Welsh cakes from the welcome basket alfresco in the garden. Then, after dinner, unwind in the hot tub with the bottle of prosecco, before cwtching up on the sofa in front of the wood-burning fire.

Sleeping on Cardigan Bay, this contemporary cottage lies just three miles away from the coastal town of Aberystwyth. Here, the wonderful Vale of Rheidol Railway and Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum await. Closer to home, your quaint village of Llanfarian leads you directly onto the twenty-mile Ystwyth Trail – filled with scenic beauty at the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. 

From the moment you arrive, this cosy home will welcome you in with its log burner and bright living space. Beneath these sloped ceilings, why don't you treat yourself to breakfast in bed? If you need to check your emails in the morning, turn on your laptop at this bedroom desk. Following your afternoon adventure, take a sneaky snooze in the snug. Then, we think you'll want to dine alfresco on this patio, but be sure to pop open the complimentary Prosecco and jump in your hot tub at sunset. After dark, snuggle up in front of this smart TV and watch a family-favourite film.

When you’re ready to explore, pull on your hiking boots and discover the bucolic surroundings – you’re spoilt for choice with a number of walking routes right on your doorstep. Spend sunny afternoons relaxing on Llanrhystud Beach, a twenty-two-minute drive away, or head into the town of Aberystwyth for lovely independent shops and an abundance of eateries. 

As the day draws to a close, wind down with a cup of tea in front of the wood-burning fire after enjoying a long soak in the bubbles of your private hot tub.

Wild Daisy Cottage

Air Conditioning

Tucked away in the quiet village of Llanfarian – just three miles from Aberystwyth – this cosy cottage is the perfect setting for your next family getaway to rural Wales. Boasting a beautiful front garden, bubbling hot tub, and toasty wood burner, this place is ideal for switching off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Put your feet up in the snug or cross the heated floor to the fully equipped kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked feast for you and your fellow guests. Then, when it’s time to eat, gather everyone around the dining table or head outside for an al fresco feast on the gorgeous front lawn. 

We could easily spend all day unwinding here, but if you fancy getting out and about, the Ystwyth bike trail is right on your doorstep, so why not make the most of it? Follow the track of the old Great Western Railway line into Tregaron, then reward yourself with a well-deserved pint from one of the local pubs. And if cycling’s not your thing, Aberystwyth’s just ten minutes away by car and is teeming with exciting attractions that are sure to delight adults and youngsters alike. 

Red Kite Cottage

This walk-up seafront apartment housed in a Victorian townhouse in Aberystwyth makes for a delightful coastal escape. It boasts direct access to the mile-long promenade and is surrounded by local pubs, independent boutiques and fish and chip shops just a few minutes away. The bright living area offers stunning sea views from its large bay window, best enjoyed, we think, over a glass of wine on the window seat. When you're ready to explore, make a beeline for Aberystwyth's historic castle or ascend Britain's longest funicular electric cliff railway to Constitution Hill. Alternatively, spend your days on the sands of North Beach, right outside your door. 

Welsh Folktale

Netflix

Courtyard

This charming and bright cottage located just a short drive from both Cardigan Bay and the port town of Aberystwyth is a lovely place for a couple’s romantic getaway, and your four-legged companion can join you as well. Escape the pressures of city life and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this lovely Welsh retreat. 

The home will welcome you with a light-filled open-plan living room and kitchen, with those characterful stone walls and wooden beams we absolutely love. Spend snuggly evenings of movies or reading, cosying up on the sofa. You can easily rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and you can enjoy them outside in your private garden. Out here, you’ll also find a luxurious hot tub, perfect for unwinding with a glass of something cool. 

For a night of restful sleep, a comfy bedroom awaits you, promising sweet dreams under the wooden roof. Wake up reinvigorated and ready for exploring the lovely Welsh landscape and the idyllic beaches of the Bay. 

Wood & Stone Cottage 

Desk / Workplace

This home ticks all the boxes for a couple after a romantic retreat to the coast. You'll find all the mod-cons needed here – from a beautifully designed open-plan living space and a cosy wood-burning stove to the spacious bedroom and luxurious roll-top bath in the en-suite. The sleek kitchen is equipped to create tasty meals for two, and your welcome pack will include some sweet treats for after – let the host know if you’re celebrating a special occasion and they might slip in an extra surprise. The mezzanine level snug allows for a moment's alone time or a sneaky afternoon snooze, while the outdoor deck patio is the perfect spot for coming together. As if that wasn’t enough, the jewel in the crown is your own private hot tub, where you can savour a glass of wine and gaze up at the stars. A short fifteen-minute drive will take you into Aberaeron, where you can stroll around the harbour and admire the brightly coloured houses. Bring a book and relax on the sand, or try out water sports if you're feeling more active. For walkers, the Wales Coastal Path nearby will show you some epic scenery, and you may even be lucky enough to spot a bottlenose dolphin in Ceredigion Bay – a short ferry across the water.

Tucked deeply in Ceredigion’s Rheidol Valley, this cottage for four is utterly peaceful and well-located for exploring this corner of mid-Wales. A haven for wildlife lovers, rare red kites and buzzards inhabit the area (don’t forget to bring your binoculars). Footpaths lead directly from the garden into paddocks, woodland, valley and hills so you can ramble to your heart’s content. Local trails focus on nearby Devil’s Bridge – a village with an unusual three-tiered bridge that crosses a deep gorge in the vicinity of gushing waterfalls – and there are more trails at the 200-hectare Hafod Estate in neighbouring Ystwyth Valley. At home, the cottage is comfortable excellence across two floors, where wooden beams meet old-world furnishings. Discover the cottage’s hot tub, sauna and games room or warm your toes beside the flickering fireplace in the lounge. The undercover barbecue and outdoor dining area mean you can enjoy dining al fresco whatever the weather – and while that's cooking up, the kids can play freely in the fields watching the sheep pass them by. 


The Rambler's Hideout

This charming little home is perfect for a romantic getaway to the beautiful Welsh countryside. With two seating areas, there's plenty of space to enjoy some alone time with a book or spend the afternoon together indoors. Snuggle up on the downstairs sofa to watch a movie on the TV, or head upstairs to the cosy mezzanine floor to unwind on the sofa with a new novel – why not pair it with a toasty cup of coffee? 

The open plan living space downstairs allows the aroma of a delicious homecooked meal to flow throughout the house as it cooks in the oven, which can then be enjoyed al fresco style in the garden with a glass of sumptuous wine. This home gets plenty of natural daylight as the sun streams in through the skylights in the ceiling. Spend evenings outdoors in the bubbling hot tub as you watch the sunset, accompanied by a freshly opened bottle of champagne.

Head out to visit the Cardigan Heritage Coast where you'll find stunning beaches and harbours with the perfect backdrops for those all-important holiday snaps. If you're fancying a hike, take a long walk through the verdant countryside, with the home being set on a working sheep farm.

Level Two

This walk-up seafront apartment in the heart of Aberystwyth puts the town's many independent shops, restaurants and pubs on your doorstep. With lovely views of Cardigan Bay from the home's large bay window, you can enjoy watching the rolling waves from sunrise to sunset. While the overall design is on the simple side, nautical touches add seaside charm to the decor, and the decorative stone hearth in the living area is a nice feature too. Venture out to the nearby North Beach, or visit the historic remains of Aberystwyth Castle. And for breathtaking views of the coast, don't miss hiking up Pen Dinas Hill.

Cosy by the Seaside

This elegant house sits atop a rocky outcrop above the river Ystwyth, directly on the Wales Coastal Path, offering stunning sea, river and harbour views. With three bedrooms, it sleeps up to six guests in comfort. The nearest beach is just around the corner, and Aberystwyth's restaurants, cafes and shops are within a short walk. The house features a fully equipped kitchen with stunning sea views, smart TV with Netflix access, Wi-Fi, DVDs/CDs, games, books and maps. Outside there is a fully enclosed south-facing garden with uninterrupted coastal views and an additional large garden mostly laid to grass with natural wildlife area. Parking is available for one large or two medium-sized cars. The property includes heating and electricity, bed linen, towels and a hairdryer. A welcome pack with coffee and tea, milk and sugar, butter, Welsh cakes and wine is also provided. This idyllic retreat is all on one floor making it ideal for those less mobile. No pets are allowed and smoking is prohibited.

The Ceredigion Cottage

Out in the peace and quiet of the Ceredigion countryside, this cottage is a bolthole for an away-from-it-all break. It sits against the green fields and towering trees, a traditional stone cottage looking picture-perfect. Heading to the private garden around the back, you’ll find a slice of verdant lawn and a covered hot tub for an evening soak. There’s alfresco dining out here on the patio too.

We love the wooden feature wall in the living room inside, which gives the place a beachy feel. After all, you’re just a fifteen-minute drive from the coast here where you’ll find secret coves and clifftop walks to fill your days. Spend cosy evenings in, with a selection of board games to keep the family entertained together. The kitchen has everything you need for the bustle of breakfast time to fuel you for walks in the countryside. 

Song of the Sparrowhawk

Rain Shower

With its peaceful setting in stunning countryside, we could feel our cares melting away as soon as we set foot through the door. Relax in the enclosed garden with its private hot tub – the perfect spot for a glass of bubbly. Or dine under the gazebo, whatever the weather. Inside, there’s a plush blue velvet sofa to rest on after a long country walk. Or whip up some Welsh rarebit in the sleek kitchen with its granite work surfaces.

Out and about, the beautiful sands and dunes of Ynyslas are 4 miles away, if you fancy a walk on the beach, a picnic or a spot of windsurfing, while a little further is Borth with its pubs and shops. The Victorian university town of Aberystwyth, on the other hand, is a ten-minute drive from this lovely home. Have an amble along the promenade, or take a ride on the Cliff Railway and savour the vistas over Cardigan Bay.


Welsh Daffodils

Couples, rejoice – this cosy cottage is the ideal romantic retreat. Nestled in the dramatic landscape of the Welsh countryside, the peaceful location makes for a wonderfully idyllic getaway. Throw in a bubbling hot tub and a sleek interior and you’re onto a winner.

We love how the tall, vaulted ceilings and exposed stone brick walls blend with the home’s contemporary touches. It’s a great mix of traditional countryside charm with mod-cons aplenty – you can whip up dinner in the high-spec kitchen, choose a film to watch on Netflix, before getting snug in front of the crackling fire. 

If you’re not recuperating from the day’s hike on the sofa, we imagine you’ll be sinking into the warming hot tub with a glass of bubbly. With a view of the sprawling fields, it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset. 

There are plenty of countryside walks from your front door, as well as beautiful beaches to explore. But if you want a taste of a traditional Welsh town, head to Aberystwyth to explore its colourful promenade, seafront restaurants, and more – it’s just a ten-minute drive away.

Countryside Hideaway

Perched above the water's edge of the picturesque Ystwyth River in Aberystwyth, and just a short walk from the thriving seaside town's three magnificent beaches, this stylish period home is the perfect base for exploring the best of Pembrokeshire. Spend your morning beachcombing, surfing, or fishing on the coast - Tanybwlch pebble beach is a mere three-minute stroll away, and the sandy beaches of North and South Beach are both less than a fifteen-minute walk away. Then take an amble about the town's bustling local shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, and internationally renowned art centre. Embark on a stroll into the surrounding Welsh countryside, stopping to peer at the yachts in the nearby harbour (fourteen minutes on foot). Or you could easily while away the day at this characterful home. We love the large picture windows that allow natural light to flood through the sociable living space, and the vintage furniture and imaginative original artwork bring layers of interest. In warmer months, head out onto the home's south-facing terrace and soak up the spectacular setting (glass of something chilled optional). And on chiller days, curl up on the sofa with a good book, break out the home's board games, or simply lose yourself to those unparalleled views reaching to Cardigan Bay and the green Pembrokeshire hills beyond – it's a scene you'll never tire off.


Welsh Water

This home on a west Wales working farm is the perfect getaway for those seeking fresh air, activities, and plenty of open space. Start your day off with a warm cup of coffee in hand while you take in the coastal views from the raised garden, before heading off to explore nearby Aberystwyth. The Cambrian Mountains are close by and offer plenty of outdoor leisure pursuits, including hiking, cycling, and fishing. Maybe you’ll spot a kite on your adventures as they swoop and skirt overhead. After a day out in the fresh air, come home and spend some time in the garden’s wooden barrel sauna, bound to reinvigorate and refresh. Finish the day off with some family time indoors, catching up in the vibrantly tiled kitchen or lounging on the corner sofa in front of the French doors.

Red Kite Perch

Streaming Services

Surrounded by peaceful countryside, just a short drive from the coast, this stone cottage is the type of hideout you’ll want to return to again and again. Inside, the living space with rustic features and stylish velvet sofas is made for hunkering down. Begin slow mornings curled up on the armchair with a good book before putting together a tasty breakfast in the modern kitchen. If the sun’s shining, take your plates out to the garden and dine beneath the pergola. 

When you’re ready to become acquainted with your surroundings, pull on your hiking books and take the twenty-six-minute walk into Rhydypennau for a cup of coffee and slice of cake at the local cafe. Or why not embark on the ten-minute drive to Borth for its 3 miles of golden sand and critter-filled rock pools. Spend evenings in Aberystwyth, a fifteen-minute car ride away, dining on fresh seafood in a revered restaurant. Return to your abode at twilight for a glass of bubbles in the private hot tub and a restful sleep in the sumptuous beds. 

Velvet & Stone

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

With a stunning garden and vibrant interior, this cosy home is a great choice for those looking for a fun, relaxing getaway in Wales. Located just half a mile from the historic market town of Tregaron, you're well situated to explore the quaint villages, cliffs, beaches, and more of Cardigan Bay.

Large windows invite a lovely natural light to brighten this home beautifully. It's a cheerful place where future happy memories will come easily, whether you're chatting around the dining table with a glass of wine or watching a film with the fireplace warming you up. The kids will love it too – they have their own snug hideaway for playing games and reading books when the grown-ups are catching up.

We love the interior's vibrancy, but our favourite bit of this home is the impressive garden. The cute space has a Mediterranean feel, with a bistro table and salmon-pink walls. When you've returned home after a day of exploring the Cambrian Mountains and the coves of Cardigan Bay, you'll love hopping straight into the bubbling hot tub to soothe those muscles after a day on your feet. Surrounded by lush greenery and vast fields, it's pure bliss. Then, when it's time for dinner, will it be a fresh pizza from the log-fired pizza oven, grilled meats and vegetables from the barbecue, or both?

Characterful and cosy, this charming coastal retreat is mere steps away from Aberdyfi Beach. The crashing waves are so close you can almost touch them from the living area – in fact, you can sit at the dining table and see the beach out the big windows. It's the perfect spot to savour a glass of wine and people-watch, but with the art galleries, restaurants and the sea on your doorstep, you'll surely be tempted out. On rainy days, curl up with a book on the squishy sofas, play a board game or two, or just snooze the afternoon away in the two comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up delicious dinners, and there are plenty of shops nearby to stock up on ingredients and fresh seafood. Aberdovey is a small seaside village on the harbour, but there's plenty nearby to keep you entertained – be it crabbing on the jetty, sea rowing at the rowing club or nibbling on fish and chips at a beachside picnic. But for more action-packed adventures, hike the picturesque Wales Coast Path or roam the nature reserves in Snowdonia National Park – the ancient woodland in Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve is an hour's drive.

Ocean's Dance

Nestled into a square in the charming village of Tremadog, just a ten-minute walk from Porthmadog, this Grade II listed building makes for the perfect North Wales getaway. With Snowdonia National Park and its endless quaint towns, beaches, hiking trails, and historical sights on your doorstep, this cottage is a wonderful choice whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure. 

This home is one that lends itself to any occasion. Rich colours, exposed brick, and traditional touches make the living room cosy and inviting – you’ll love settling into the snug armchairs in the morning, with the light piercing through the windows, while the warming log-burning fire cuts through the early cold. Your kitchen is just as cosy and comforting, but it’s also practical. It’s kitted out with top-notch appliances that make home-cooked meals a breeze, while the dining room invites family and friends to settle in for light-hearted evenings of good food, games, drinks, and conversation. 

French doors lead you out to the charming patio, which is particularly lovely in the warmer months. And while even summer can’t promise warm weather in Wales, the hot tub is sure to warm you up. You’ll love kicking off your walking boots, jumping into the bubbly tub, and sipping on a few wines after a day of exploring Snowdonia National Park.

A cabin in the woods reimagined, this home belongs in the centrefold of a magazine. Traditional wooden panelling adds a rustic feel to this home, but it's nicely contrasted with a stylish monochrome palette and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a colourful sensory garden and pond. It's easy to spend an afternoon sitting on the south-facing deck, enjoying the peace of the Welsh countryside and keeping an eye out for the swallows, swifts, ducks and frogs living their lives on the water — even an otter has been spotted in the grounds by previous guests. After a stroll among the greenery, unwind with a glass of wine in front of the log burner or head up to the snug in the mezzanine with a well-thumbed book. Venturing out, two sandy beaches, Norman castles and a few quaint cafes await in the village of Llansteffan, which can be reached in eight minutes by car. Also close by is Green Castle Woods – about a five-minute drive – which is perfect for afternoon strolls through ancient woodlands. Or, ten minutes in the opposite direction lies Carmarthen, believed to be the oldest town in Wales – head there for places to eat, drink and shop aplenty.

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.

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

This whitewashed converted farmhouse is a wonderful choice for welcoming families or groups of friends to enjoy the beauty of the Llyn Peninsula. Surrounded by vast greenery and steps away from the coast, it's a fairytale getaway come to life.

This home might be a traditional farmhouse from the outside, but the interior is sleek, contemporary, and comfortable. Here, you can shed the daily grind and embrace a slower pace of life, while still keeping ahold of modern comforts. Lovely accents of green brighten up the home, which is cloaked in soothing shades of grey. But that's not to say it isn't without its traditional charm. The original stone fireplace stands in front of centre of the dining room, while the warmth of the wood burner permeates the home. And perhaps most importantly, the country house-style kitchen provides the perfect social space, capturing what people love about country homes – making memories with family and friends.

You'd be hard-pressed to find somewhere as scenic and relaxing as the Llyn Peninsula. Walkers will revel in the famous Llyn Coastal Path, which leads you onto the lovely beaches of Porth Towyn and Porth Ysgaden. The area's Irish Sea stems off into emerald pools, backed by hills carpeted in lush grass and flowers – it's truly enchanting. The area is also teeming with quaint towns and villages, like Tudweiliog – just a twenty-minute stroll away.

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape to the Brecon Beacons with a few luxuries thrown in, this is the cottage for you. Set within 12 acres of estate grounds, there are plenty of walks for dogs and humans alike. If you’re seriously into your hiking, then the trails right from the cottage’s front door into the peaks of the Brecon Beacons (including Pen Y Fan) won’t disappoint. For the more sedate option, follow the flat canal path into the charming town of Brecon for cafés and shops. On returning, treat yourself to a complimentary massage at The Treatment Studio in the estate. The cottage itself radiates history from its old stone walls and low, timber-beamed ceilings. A little library of books and wood-burner in the living room adds to that away-from-it-all feeling. In the kitchen and living room, the flagstone floor is heated underfoot so there’s no sacrificing comfort for aesthetics here. Upstairs, the master bedroom comes with a glorious sleigh bed to send you off to sleep. 

Bothying In Style

Swap the big smoke for the great outdoors at this converted barn, tucked away at the foot of Angel Mountain, close to the Pembrokeshire coast. 

Nestled amidst the patchwork hills of the Welsh countryside, you could feel a million miles from civilisation here –⁠ which is just how we like things. But when it’s time for a change of pace, the charming seaside town of Newport (six-minute drive) is an afternoon well spent – as is the mighty Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with its vast sandy beaches and secluded coves (eleven-minute drive).
 
Back at this quirky bolthole retreat, exposed stonework shows the bones of this barn's past, while vintage furniture and objects de art add layers of interest and heaps of style. A home for all seasons, on long summer nights, slide the bifold doors right back and stoke up the barbecue – the firepit will help keep the night flowing as a carpet of stars appear overhead. In winter months, hunker down inside and soak up the countryside vistas through the floor-to-ceiling picture windows - that snuggle seat by the wood-burning stove has got your name on it. 

Wild Angels

Through walls of glass, this Criccieth home welcomes the outdoors in. And when you catch a glimpse of the sea views from almost every corner of this home, you’ll know why it caught our eye. Having appeared on a couple of popular TV shows, it’s no surprise that this modern marvel is a perfect place to stay for friends and families alike. Cool and contemporary inside, it’s quite the contrast to the rugged landscape surrounding it. Just take care with the cliff edge – little ones and four-legged friends will need to be supervised. 

Clifftop Dream

Balcony / Patio

Just outside the picturesque village of Llanfrynach, on the grounds of a grade II*-listed Georgian mansion, this one-bedroom cottage is all about rest and relaxation. This former coach house has been converted into a stunning contemporary space. Downstairs, the sitting room boasts sky-high ceilings and ten-foot-tall French doors leading out onto a private patio. The wood burner and deerskin rugs on the floor add a cosy feeling that's perfect for the colder months, while during the summer, you can throw open those doors and let the outside in. The cottage actually has two patio areas – one facing east and the other west – so you can always catch the sun no matter the time of day. Upstairs, the bedroom welcomes you with exposed oak beams and a natural stone wall that perfectly complements the black wrought iron bed frame. Step across the hall to discover a beautiful bathroom with a double-ended tub and a walk-in shower. If you can tear yourself away, there are plenty of leisurely walks and challenging hikes directly from your front door. There are options for all levels, from high peaks to gentle canalside strolls and everything in between. Despite the secluded location, plenty of pubs and restaurants, as well as a supermarket, within a ten-minute drive. After a hard day of hiking in the hills, why not treat yourself to a relaxing massage in the on-site treatment room.

On the border between England and Wales, this little eco hut sits in the splendidly named hamlet of Burlingjobb. There’s nothing but the cheep and pip of birdsong and the occasional bleat of a lamb here. The curve of the cabin’s roof reflects Hanter Hill opposite, and each cabinet and window frame has been crafted from local cedar and douglas fir. The living room and kitchen has everything you need to unwind in an evening, including a hand-made kitchen and sofa tucked under the gorgeous floating staircase. Heating comes courtesy of infra-red panels, a nod to the environment and, as the cabin is kept cosy, you can select a book from the little library and take things back to analogue. Glass doors lead out to a deck with a fire pit and barbecue. The real highlight is the master bedroom, dappled with botanica and with a picture-frame window looking out over the garden. It’s here you’ll find the longest claw-footed tub we think we’ve ever seen – perfect for a soak after a day hiking up to Hanter Hill or the tumbling cascade of Water Break-Its-Neck waterfall.

The enclosed garden offers outdoor dining and a place for dogs to run around safely, and you’re on a 12-acre estate with no livestock so there are plenty of walkies for furry friends.

In the living room, you’ll find everything you need to keep the wood-burning going in the evening and the granite-topped kitchen provides all the appliances and crockery required for self-catering.
