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.

Nice to haves

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.

Ironing Board

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.

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.

Child Friendly

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

Library of Books

Games Room

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.

Dreaming Of The Promenade

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

Desk

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.

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.

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.

A Time of Innocence

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.

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.

Balcony

There were plenty of reasons why this penthouse apartment made it into our collection, but let's start with the most obvious. When guests step out onto the ornate white balcony, they're greeted with stunning views over the Dyfi Estuary and Cardigan Bay, stretching all the way down the Ceredigion Coastline. As is often the case with coastal locations, there's just so much sky and this uninterrupted panorama brings the added benefit of meaning the interior is flooded with natural light through the windows and skylights. This is emphasised pleasingly by the stark white walls and it makes for a wonderfully bright space to sprawl out on the tan leather sofa. As you can probably tell from looking out the window, Aberdyfi Beach sits just across the street and there are cafes and pubs along the seafront for when you fancy a refreshment. Slightly further afield, there are opportunities for birdwatching in RSPB Ynys-hir and Dyfi Osprey Project, both taking around half an hour to reach in the car.

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

Parking On Premises

Hidden away in the Welsh countryside, with views of the Cambrian Mountains on the horizon, this contemporary yet cosy cottage is a calming escape for solo travellers and couples alike. Inside, expect a rustic blend of white-washed walls, exposed stone and timber ceiling beams. Begin mornings curled up on the squashy leather couch in the open-plan living space before sitting down to an alfresco breakfast if the weather’s nice. 

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

Sauna

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

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

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.

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.

Built a few years ago, this beautiful conversion may still bear some resemblance to a barn with its stone clad facade, but that’s where the similarities end. Inside you’ll find simple, clean lines and, apart from a few pops of colour, a fairly neutral colour palette. Stylish, and clearly modern, the home’s crowning glory is the wide expanse of green that can be admired from the front door. Stare out over the beautiful dips and peaks as you take your seat at the wrought-iron table outside and nurse your first cup of coffee of the day. 

Breakfast can also be enjoyed out here if you prefer, although the wood dining table in the living space is elegant, and with its position right next to a window, you don’t entirely lose sight of the scenic views on offer. 

With a real focus on reconnecting you with nature, most of the ground floor rooms open up to let the fresh country air in – take a nap on the cushy bed with the doors ajar and wake up refreshed. 

Walk the grounds or watch the little ones run around on the lawn whilst you enjoy a glass of wine in a sun lounger. This is also a great spot for sunsets, but before that, you can drive out and explore the rural Welsh beauty of this area, you might want to stop off at the Rhug Estate Farm Shop and drive-thru, about six minutes away, to refuel before perhaps enjoy two splendid nearby reservoir walks: Brenig and Alwyn

The Valley Barn

Set on the banks of the Nevern estuary, this spacious family home – with large private gardens and a seating terrace – offers the perfect Welsh break. Wake up to amazing views across the estuary. Let your four-legged friends roam free in the spacious garden and the children let off steam on sunny days, while you enjoy reading a good book on the comfy outdoor seating under the shade of the home’s awning. 

Just outside the home’s gate, you will find access straight to the estuary which leads to Newport Bay and Parrog – reachable in just twenty-three minutes on foot, which makes it ideal for a leisurely walk together. Then return home in the late afternoon for Welsh cake warmed in the Aga. 

In the evenings, cosy up on the big squashy sofa in front of the wood burner with your dog curled up at your feet as you watch your family's favourite film. Or, on warmer days head out to the patio with a gin and tonic and let the children tire themselves out for bedtime as they run around the lawns. 

Cartref Glan y Môr

Situated in a picturesque part of North Wales, this cottage is perfect for a romantic retreat in peaceful surroundings. Sympathetically modernised but with original features showcasing the home's 19th-century origins, you’ll feel relaxation settle over you from the moment you first arrive. With underfloor heating in the open-plan living and dining area, you’ll welcome the warmth seeping through your slippers after a long day exploring the surrounding countryside. For added cosiness, light the fire, settle down on the sofa, uncork a bottle of red, and enjoy quality time with your loved one. 

As daylight creeps through your curtains in the mornings, hop out of bed (just mind the beams), rustle up a spot of breakfast and enjoy a morning coffee in your courtyard as the countryside wakes around you and happy birdsong fills the air. From your home, there are plenty of rural walks to enjoy – take a look at the maps and recommended routes provided in your cottage and you’ll soon be on your way. For a bite to eat, you may want to venture into Llangollen, where a great selection of delicious restaurants serves up local cuisine from their riverside location. 

Happy as a Lark

Pool / Snooker Table

In the idyllic mining own of Blaenau Ffestiniog, this home was once an old chapel dating back to 1861. The building has been lovingly renovated, featuring an open-plan kitchen and snug area ideal for family living. There’s a pool table here too, which is boung to keep both the kids and grown-ups entertained for a few hours. When it comes to things to see and do, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to activities. We recommend heading into town to rent bikes and exploring some of the many biking routes on offer, which will have you riding past old quarries, lakes and rivers.

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

Free Parking On Street

Nestled in the heart of the Welsh countryside, this rustic holiday home is the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway with family or friends. Once a working granary, this cosy cottage has been converted into a stylish home for up to six people, boasting three comfy bedrooms and a gorgeous, wraparound garden, ideal for soaking up some of that elusive British sunshine. Savour a cup of tea on the secluded patio, show off your culinary skills on the barbecue or throw on your swimming costume and treat yourself to a long soak in the outdoor hot tub as the sun dips down between the distant hills. 

If you fancy something less sedate, you’re within easy reach of the River Dee here, perfect for leisurely lunchtime walks with your fellow guests. Burn off any excess energy with a bracing hike through the countryside, then come home and snuggle up by the fire. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to spend the day.

Right as Grain

Parking On Street

Charming where it sits on a bend of a lane in rural Dolwyddelan, this terraced stone cottage has become a welcoming base for small families or groups of friends exploring Snowdonia National Park. From the back garden, where a hot tub and dining table are perfect accompaniments to sunny days, you can also enjoy views of Snowdon and Moel Siabod. The kitchen is small and best suited to small bites, but you're close to several restaurants in the town centre. Cosy, bright and brimming with character, this home is also 6km from Betws-y-Coed Golf Club and 18km from Penmaenmawr.

You can almost hear the mellow jazz playing as you walk around this sumptuous, modern home. Looking like it came straight out of the pages of Architectural Digest, this Newport pad dazzles with designer furnishings and luxurious details. Downstairs, the blue palette creates a warm welcome, with two living rooms inviting you to chill out, read and snuggle by the fire. Gather at the large kitchen  island for chats over a glass of wine while someone else prepares dinner. Or, on balmy evenings, open the bi-folding doors to the rear terrace where a barbecue tempts alfresco feasts. And then there are the swoon-worthy bedrooms upstairs. Whether you’re staying in the blush-coloured boudoir, the green jungle room, or the two trendy twin rooms, you’ll feel like you’re laying in the lap of luxury when you settle in for the night. With the sea and Carningli Mountain both just a ten-minute walk away, this spectacular home is the ideal base for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast in style. 


Major House

Outdoor Kitchen

Perched on the banks of the Teifi estuary, this renovated former sea captain's villa in southwest Wales treats guests to some spectacular waterside views. On sunny days, these can be enjoyed on the large terrace, whether that's reclining in one of the loungers, lying in the hammock or sitting around the alfresco dining area, waiting for dinner to be served off the barbecue or out of the pizza oven. However, the sparkly panorama can just as easily be appreciated from the huge windows in the open-concept kitchen-dining area or from the bedrooms. When you can prise your eyes away from the beautiful scene outside, you'll find a modern interior that integrates rustic aspects, such as exposed brickwork and a wood-burning fireplace, seamlessly. It's the sort of place you'll look forward to returning on the return leg of a long walk. If you're in need of inspiration, all you have to do is follow the Teifi — half an hour's walk west will get you to Poppit Sands Beach, while the same amount of time in the opposite direction will take you to the town of Cardigan.

Sherwood House

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.

The Gatekeeper

Once the former shooting residence of the Earl of Marlborough, this charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Snowdonia carefully stitches together history and contemporary design. Original slate floors and a huge inglenook fireplace contrast against modern additions such as the sleek roll-top bath and luxurious hot tub. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where your clan will spend time eating, drinking and playing card games if it tips it down outside. Light the wood-burning stove to keep the chill at bay or warm up with a brisk walk to the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog – you’ll get there in under an hour if you go at a decent pace. Spend sunny afternoons in the beer garden of the Pengwern pub, just a minute’s walk up the road, or jump in the car and take the ten-minute drive to the trout-filled Llyn Trawsfynydd. Hire a fishing rod or stroll around the water’s edge, stopping for a well-deserved cup of tea in the café along the way.

Old Slate

This eclectic cottage lies in the North Wales countryside, bursting with colour and ideal for those looking for an outdoor escape. We think it's great for families, with your host providing a cot and high chair for little ones and allowing up to two dogs to join you.

You'll have easy access to Snowdonia, Moel Siabod, and Conwy, making this home a great stay for hikers, bikers, and anyone hoping to explore the Welsh coastline.
