With its rugged cliffs, miles of sandy beaches and hidden coves, North Pembrokeshire is a natural haven. And this cosy barn makes the perfect setting to discover the timeless beauty of the Welsh countryside.

Set on an old organic farm and surrounded by trees, the barn has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a sanctuary in the heart of nature. It’s the kind of space where you can embrace a more simple existence – one that is rich in warmth and comfort. 

From preparing breakfast in the kitchen to reading on the mezzanine, it’s easy to slow down and savour the elements that make this home special. 

Outside, you can wander through miles of beautiful countryside towards the beach or make your way into the village of Saint Dogmaels – only a twenty–minute walk. Here you’ll find a wonderful village shop, an award–winning farmers market (held weekly), ancient abbey grounds and a couple of great pubs. 

And when your bags are full of fresh, local produce you’ll love coming home for a cosy evening by the fire. 

A Wilder Place 

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

Just a short stroll from beach, this apartment is perfectly placed for a refreshing coastal retreat in Pwllheli. You can soak up traditional Welsh charm while strolling to local pubs, restaurants and cafes. It’s also the ideal base for boat trips along Cardigan Bay as well as hiking through the surrounding countryside. Parking is available and well-behaved pets are welcome to join you for a small additional fee. Inside, the rooms are simple and well suited to families with plenty of space to unwind after a day in the fresh sea air. 

The Angharad

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

Reacquaint with nature at this gorgeous 17th-century farmhouse among the rolling Welsh countryside. Rustic beams adorn every wall and ceiling and there’s a real homely feeling throughout. The cosy living space with its open fire is the perfect spot to curl up with a cup of tea and a couple of Welsh cakes when the weather’s not on your side. 

Fuel hungry ramblers in the rustic kitchen among pewter tankards that hang from the rafters before clearing the plates away and breaking out the board games for some wholesome fun. If it’s sunny out, Coed y Brenin Forest Park, with all the wooded hiking and biking trails your heart could desire, is a fifty-six-minute drive away. Better still, the famous mountains of Snowdon and the castles of Powis and Chirk are also within an hour’s drive. And as the day draws to a close, retreat back to your abode for a long, hot soak in the Victorian-style roll-top bath and an early night in silent bedrooms. 

Annedd Wen

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.

The Chapel Doors

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

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.

The Copse

Sitting in the middle of the tiny Snowdonian village of Dinas Mawddwy, this building was once the locale's Wesleyan chapel, but today it's been respectfully converted into a rather remarkable place to stay.

Plenty of the period features remain, including the original brickwork, pew seats at the dining table and the tall lancet windows that look out to Welsh hillsides, as well as bathing the interior with natural light. However, it's also fair to say that the living quarters have been brought up to the standards expected from 21st-century travellers, particularly in the case of the super-sleek kitchen and the large games room complete with tables for pool and foosball.

Despite this architectural setting, some of the biggest perks lie outside the stone walls. Not only is there a terrace on which to sit out around the fire pit, but guests are also treated to a hot tub, which is naturally the best seat from which to admire the stunning surroundings. 

It's fair to say that those fond of the great outdoors couldn't wish for a better location. Cader Idris is ten miles away if you're in the mood for a challenging hike, while it doesn't take too long to reach the coastline when the weather calls for a day on the beach. Closer to home – much closer in fact – the village has a local gastropub only a minute's walk from the front door.

Mountain Chapel

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

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.

The Bells of Aberdyfi

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.
