Welcome Hamper

Nice to haves

You'll find this handsome stone cottage in a rural hamlet right on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, just a thirty-minute drive from the base of the famous mountain. There's a lovely view of this hilly terrain from the home's private garden, which comes with a gas barbecue and plenty of seating for when the weather plays ball. Inside, there are both rustic and modern aspects. A log-burning fire sits in the corner of the living space, for example, but the kitchen has a Quooker tap for instant boiling water and the bathrooms would be right at home in any slick urban apartment. However, we all know that it's the great outdoors that's the big attraction in Wales and there are endless adventures to be had on your doorstep. Both Criccieth and Aberdesach beaches can be reached in under a quarter of an hour in the car, while you can also visit the old slate mines at Blaenau Ffestiniog, only a half-hour drive away.

Slate Stream

Nestled on the grounds of a farm, this little cottage invites guests to experience the majestic beauty of Snowdonia National Park. You’ll find great hiking and cycling trails right on the doorstep, while the Llŷn Peninsula's golden beaches are within a 10-mile radius. Back at home, there’s a woodburning fire, three cosy bedrooms and a private garden – the perfect spot to admire the views. Your host also provides a welcome pack with basic essentials, plus it’s family-friendly with children’s amenities available on request.

With views all across the fields and valleys towards Snowdonia and the North Wales coast, this smart cottage is a former milking shed reimagined. Modern and luxurious, it combines a peaceful, countryside setting with up-to-the-minute styling and plenty of modern comforts. 

Owned by the same farming family for five generations, the open-plan living space now features herringbone flooring, a contemporary log burner for cosy evenings no matter the season and a handbuilt kitchen with everything you'll need. Two bedrooms and two fabulous bathrooms make it as perfect for friends sharing as it is for small families, and we particularly love the huge rain shower in the en-suite.

Step outside and you'll have your own fully-enclosed garden with a picnic table for summer barbecues, and it's just a short drive to the nearest beaches. And look out for the extra special welcome hamper at this home because the owners run a successful bakery from the farm.



Yard & Peak

Immaculately converted from a milking parlour, this home sits on a hilltop adjacent to a working farm. The barn served as a dairy for five generations of the same family who still reside here and now run a renowned bakery, supplying indulgent local treats – such as Welsh cakes – to shops across North Wales. Sample these goodies from your welcome hamper, alongside ale and cider from a neighbouring brewery. Inside the home, you’ll find an open-plan living space that’s both stylish and extremely comfortable. A couple of nods to its history come in the form of cow-skin rugs and a milk pail for the wood burner’s logs. Step out the living room’s pretty French doors and onto your private grassy garden. In fine weather, grab a chilled bottle of wine and fire up the barbecue for dinner – at this elevation, the views are spectacular, across Snowdonia and the North Wales coastline, as far as Holyhead and across the channel to Ireland on a clear day. Getting to the region’s sights – including Ffestiniog Railway, Caernarfon Castle, Zipworld and Portmeirion – doesn’t take long at all. Plus, the closest beach, Dinas Dinlle, is just a ten-minute drive away.

When we say this is a historic home, we really mean it. A Roman bathhouse is said to have once stood here, and the current house could be the oldest in the county of Gwynedd – it dates back to around 1543. There are period features everywhere, from the inglenook fireplace to the traditional wooden beams and even an arrow-slit-style window. The garden is just as magical and makes a lovely spot for mealtimes or a relaxing glass of wine while admiring the bluebells. A pond, plenty of trees and a small stream, make it a haven for local wildlife too.

Snowdonia is a twenty minute drive away, where adventurous types can climb hills and ride through jaw-dropping natural mountain biking trails and valleys to their heart’s content. Dwyfor Rabbit Farm delivers fun family activities where you can feed the bunnies. Take a walk along the golden sand, spruced with pebbles and a rocky area that lines Criccieth beaches, exposing rock pools at low tide. Come home for a soak in the Victorian tub, a warm drink by the fire, and then climb into the antique French bed to dream about the days to come.

If you're a keen birdwatcher, you'll love this home's location on the banks of Foryd Bay, a nature reserve in North Wales that sees huge numbers of different species migrate to the area for winter. However, even if your interest in wildlife is less obsessive, we're sure you'll still fall for the sweeping views of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia in the other direction. The cottage is certainly geared up for just sitting back and marvelling at nature, with huge windows in the living room, as well as a roof terrace and a hot tub in the enclosed garden facing the water for when the weather's more agreeable. When the sun's gone down, you'll find this home the epitome of cosiness, especially with the fireplace crackling away and the whole party snuggled up on the comfy sofas surrounding. Although you'll find the immediate surroundings beautifully tranquil, there's plenty of action nearby if you seek it. Dinas Beach is only ten minutes away in the car, while the world's fastest zip line can be enjoyed — or not — at Zip World Penrhyn Valley, just over half an hour's drive away.

The Twitcher

You’ll feel right at home the moment you step into this vibrant, characterful cottage. All the eclectic touches, colourful rugs, period features, and overflowing bookshelves make this home feel cheerful and loved. The bedrooms are equally comforting and warm, and the twin room will please the kids (even big ones). In the morning, as you sip your coffee, the quaint kitchen glows with the warmth of the AGA. On warmer days, sit together on the patio for big lunches, and come evening, stargaze into the night with a mug of hot chocolate. Here on the coastline of North Wales, you’ll have a great view of the stars, and plenty of activities come the daytime. Drive for 10-minutes and hit Criccieth Beach - an award-winning beach with a mix of sand and shingle. Build sandcastles, or visit the real 13th-century castle, Castell Cricieth. Walk, hike or cycle through Snowdonia National Park, a 45-minute drive away, or spend days closer to the dream-house in the town of Porthmadog. This cottage and its backdrop are straight from a storybook, and like all good books, you won't want your stay to end.

Distant Colours

Child Friendly

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

One of the funkiest former grain stores we ever did see, this little home is part of a farm in the countryside just outside Pwllheli. Lovingly converted with a great deal of flair and imagination, it's far from your usual holiday home. Upcycled furniture, industrial pieces and pops of colour mix with natural wood, leather and slate. The ground floor living space is cosy and quirky, with a log burner, beamed ceilings and an open staircase. Cook up family meals in the fully kitted-out kitchen and choose to eat indoors or out in the private garden. There's so much to love about this place, but we particularly like the wet room, with its rain shower, light tunnel and penguins hiding in the built-in shelves, and the pretty garden with its fun seating areas. With the owners just next door, make use of the gym, make friends with the farm animals and cook on the fire pit in the evenings. It's just a ten-minute drive into the town, with loads more to see and do nearby, from walking and horse riding to playing on the sandy beaches.

Perfectly positioned, just a five-minute drive from the seaside, with sweeping views of Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay, this family cottage is an idyllic spot on the Llŷn Peninsula. In the living area, the calming neutral colour scheme is livened up with colourful soft furnishings and bright local art prints. But it’s the views of the patchwork countryside and glittering sea on the horizon that really steal the limelight – get a closer look from the patio with a glass of your favourite tipple in hand. 

Should the sky become overcast, put your feet up in front of the wood-burning stove or put together a hearty, home-cooked meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. When there’s a break in the clouds, grab your seaside essentials and make haste to Pwllheli Traeth Marian-y-de Beach. Spend an afternoon exploring nearby Pwllheli – check out the local shops, cafes and restaurants before watching the sunset from the promenade. 

Sea Shine

Fenced Property

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. 

Hills of Bell Heather

Scoop up your oh-so-dearest and escape the outside world to this charming Welsh cottage for two quietly removed from the pretty village of Penygroes in Snowdonia. With jaw-dropping mountain and sea views seen from every window and a crackling fire at its heart to hunker down beside, this is the ultimate countryside retreat. 

Newly renovated throughout, inside rustic details can be spotted about the converted barn with exposed beams bringing all the wow factor in the light-filled living space and flagstone floors striking a note of authenticity. But that luxurious bathroom with walk-in rainfall shower and twin sinks is pure modern luxury. 

On long summer nights, drink up the magnificent scenery with alfresco barbecues in your private garden. And on wintery days, get cosy with tea for two beside the log-burning stove. There's Netflix at the ready to crash out with a film, although those breathtaking views might be all the entertainment you need. 

When it's time for adventure, don your walking boots or hop on your bike to voyage through the glorious landscapes of the Snowdonia National Park – there are footpaths and cycle tracks aplenty here. Or mooch along to the village's vineyard estate for coffee and Welsh cakes at the café with a view, or book a wine tasting tour for something a little stiffer. 

Cwtch for Two 

Set in a lovely position in the heart of the Llyn Peninsula, this Victorian stone cottage was once the gatehouse to the Grade II-listed manor house, Plas Boduan. Make your way through the grand estate gates and down the drive where you're sure to feel the history all around you. The cottage itself is a delightful blend of old and new, with a large, light extension complete with glass doors, a piano and a log burner sitting alongside original features like pretty leaded windows. Outdoors, there’s a charmingly wild garden, a sun-trap patio for morning coffees, and a hot tub for soaking your bones after long hikes in the Welsh countryside. Walkers are spoilt for choice with paths and lanes crisscrossing the surrounding countryside, and if you don’t mind hopping in the car, you’re a half-hour drive from some of the best walking terrain in the world in the form of Snowdonia National Park. Alternatively, head over to the long sandy beach at Morfa Nefyn, only seven minutes away in the car.

Self Check-in / Check-out

The picturesque town of Caernarfon is a truly lovely part of Wales. You can spend your days strolling along the waterfront, exploring the countryside and moorland nearby, or taking in the beautiful scenery. Glorious Snowdonia National Park is a short drive away, so hikers will want to pack their boots. 

This lovely apartment sits amid the town’s narrow streets, just a four-minute walk from the 13th-century Caernarfon Castle. History buffs will love visiting this UNESCO World Heritage site, which serves as an attractive backdrop for this delightful town. 

The apartment is within a Grade II listed building, but inside, it’s been brought right up to date. It’s warm and cosy, with all the modern amenities you might need for a break in Wales. When you’re not curled up on the sofa chatting and watching movies, you’ll be sitting out on the patio, enjoying the fresh air. Grab a takeaway and sit out late in summer, dining under the stars. You’ll sleep well in the top-notch bedding, ready for another day in this wonderful part of Wales. 


Cosy Caernarfon

Throws

As we drove down the lane and saw the sea views appear, we knew we were in for a treat with this lovely home. Initially three fisherman's cottages, this place has been skillfully converted to create a fantastic family home.

We adore the sea vistas as well as the outlook over Porthdinllaen Beach, Nefyn's headland golf course, the boats in the harbour and Anglesey from the 2-acre garden and terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. You can enjoy the seascape from the vast windows inside too. Use the telescope to watch the boats on the ocean and the sea birds fishing, then whip up some seafood and laverbread in the large kitchen with its French doors opening to the garden.

If you fancy a day on the area's golden sands, bask in the sun on Porthdinllaen Beach, just over a ten-minute drive away, or head to the nearby Amgueddfa Forwrol Llŷn Maritime Museum.



Sea Dream

Pool / Snooker Table

This stylish and contemporary home offers a sea-side holiday home for up to 15 guests in the Welsh coastal town of Pwllheli. Located just 500m from prestigious European Blue Flag Award awarded beaches, this delightful accommodation is perfect for families and friends seeking some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Salt-Water Pool

Located in the idyllic Llyn Peninsula, this stone brick cottage is the ideal setting for a family or friends getaway to North Wales. Benefiting from panoramic views of both the sea and the mountains, this cottage encapsulates everything that is so special about North Wales. 

Bright, open, and inviting – this home is wonderfully sociable, with open living spaces making it easy to spend time together and catch up. We particularly love the large kitchen island, which sits in the heart of the home. We can picture drinks and nibbles as you gather around the island, while everyone pitches in with the chopping and preparing of meals. While this home is cosy and warm, it's the great outdoors that makes this cottage so special. The views of rolling hills cascade on for miles, with the bench on the front of the house providing the perfect spot for sipping on morning coffees and enjoying the scenery of Cardigan Bay, stretching across to Snowdonia. 

When it's time to explore, there's so much to see. You're just an eight-minute drive from Pwllheli and its bustling art galleries, cafes, pubs, eateries, quaint marina, and unrivalled sailing waters. The golden sand beaches of the Llyn Peninsula are also close by, perfect for windy coastal walks, with the mountains of Snowdonia National Park within easy reach, ready to take you on jaw-dropping hikes. 

The Comforting Wild

What could be more romantic than a tiny cottage in the country? This pretty little home on the Llyn Peninsula is surprisingly modern thanks to its recent refurbishment. Comfortable and stylish, it's the perfect retreat for couples trying to get away from it all. Set in a secluded rural area, with great walking on your doorstep, it's about as far from the madding crowd as it gets. There's a lawned garden and little deck to enjoy the views from, and inside you'll find a log burner to warm up even the chilliest of evenings. The building retains character features like a vaulted ceiling, beams and a mezzanine level, but it's been smartly modernised to provide an open-plan living space with a fabulous kitchen and breakfast bar, as well as a cosy seating area with patio doors to bring the outside in. And our favourite part must be the en-suite bathroom with its contemporary bath and walk-in rain shower. Special touches like the robes, slippers and a welcome pack of goodies make this place a real treat. Less than a fifteen-minute drive to Pwllheli, and ten to Abersoch, there are loads of great beaches, village pubs and local shops to explore nearby.

Desk / Workplace

Picture the scene — you've just spent a long day in the great Welsh outdoors and you're faced with the choice of snuggling up by the crackling log burner, lying back into a steamy bath or sitting out in the garden and watching the sky go through its dramatic daily transformation. This is the sort of difficult decision you face when you choose this cute cottage as your next getaway.

This is a home that's completely dedicated to cosiness, right down to the rustic decor touches, like the wooden ceiling beams and soft furnishings. Another way to feel completely at peace is by looking through the wide window in the master bathroom, which faces Malltraeth Marsh, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest that's great for birdwatching.

It's also possible to see Snowdonia from this address and you can be inside the National Park in half an hour's drive. Closer to home, it takes thirteen minutes in the car to reach the beach at Traeth Mawr or twenty minutes for the two-thousand-acre Newborough Forest.

Migratory Patterns

Games Room

This townhouse apartment is ideal for families and friend groups looking for a peaceful coastal retreat. There's never a dull moment here, thanks to the board games for all ages, the pool table, and the hot tub out on the private terrace. Just so you know, the home is spread over three floors, so it may not suit those who struggle with stairs. Pwllheli Beach is an easy walk away, and the nearby town has restaurants, shops and pubs to enjoy.

The Saltair

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. 

The Sounds of the Swells

Offering stunning mountain and sea views, this semi-detached cottage is conveniently located just 3 miles from the seaside town of Pwllheli and its beaches, marina, and cafes. With a sociable open-plan living and dining set-up, the space opens onto the garden's private patio terrace overlooking Snowdonia. Meanwhile, an extended lawn area is shared with the holiday cottage next door. It's an excellent base for exploring the golden beaches and picturesque villages of Llyn Peninsula, as well as Snowdonia National Park.

The Light From Here

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

Perfectly situated for exploring the stunning Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia National Park – this lovely cottage has a great location. If you like gardening, there’s a garden centre, with a café within walking distance, while the Wales Coast Path and Abererch Beach are 2.4 miles away. You don’t have to go anywhere for stunning views – a bench at the front of the cottage lovers over Cardigan Bay or take a seat in the private patio area, have a slice of complimentary cake and admire the vistas over to Snowdonia. This stone-built cottage is semi-detached and some of the lawned areas are shared, so you may not have the place totally to yourself though.

There aren't many homes in our collection where you could feasibly arrive by kayak rather than by car, but this is one of them. Perched on the side of the Menai Strait, this four-storey gem dates back to the Victorian era and benefits from beautiful views of the sea, Bangor Pier and the Snowdonia mountain range. This can be enjoyed from the big bay windows or the comfort of the outdoor terrace. Better still, you can head down to the home's private shingle beach which also has a small cave to explore. Back inside the home, the interior is traditional, with portraits hanging on the walls and a large wooden dining table a regal centrepiece to gather the group around after the day's excursions. The town of Beaumaris with its castle, pier and beach take just six minutes to reach in the car, while you can get to Penrhyn Zip World in twenty minutes if you're looking for hi-octane thrills.

Set within an acre of private woodland, this cottage is a true escape back to nature. As an upside-down home, the first-floor living area is bathed in light and we love how it extends seamlessly out onto the decking. The kitchen is a match for any budding chef, but with traditional Welsh pubs, restaurants, and a cafe mere minutes away on foot, dining out is sure to be on the menu. Keen to explore further afield? Take to the trails of Snowdonia National Park, cross the Menai Bridge for a visit to Anglesey, or hike the North Wales coastal path – there’s something for everyone here. 

Wild Woodland

Perched on a hilltop with incredible sea views, this traditional stone brick house is a gem for those looking for a rural retreat. Secluded and peaceful on your own stretch of land, relaxation comes easy here.

While this house is traditional from the outside, the interior is a contemporary haven. A sleek and modern design makes this home a dream. But that isn't to say it doesn't hold its original bucolic charm – the living room is wonderfully cosy, crowned by a brick fireplace and warming log fireplace. Whether you're sipping on wine in the spacious kitchen-come-dining area or nursing herbal tea while watching a film in the living room, it's a pleasure to spend time here.

The interior is beautiful, but the pièce de résistance of this home is the gorgeous outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors lead you out to the patio, where the views of the sea, and even a glimpse of Criccieth Castle, will blow you away. And to see the spectacular castle up close, you can get there in just a few minutes by car. The town itself is a charming place with wonderful beaches, and it's well situated for exploring the rest of the wild Llŷn Peninsula. When you get home after a day of winding through coastal paths and visiting quaint towns, your garden is the perfect spot for sundowners and alfresco meals. The expansive vista promises an unforgettable sunset, before giving away to the twinkly night sky.

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

Resort Access

This delightful townhouse is on the beachfront of quiet Rhos-on-Sea. For a coastal getaway and the chance to experience the charm of a small town, look no further. 

The house is just across the road from the beach, so each morning you’ll wake up to the sound of the sea gently rushing to shore. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room showcase the home’s prime beachfront location – if you’re anything like us, you’ll lose track of how long you spend gazing at the peaceful view. There’s a small garden at the front of the house, where you might enjoy a cuppa while watching the fishing boats in the distance, as well as a sunny patio at the back of the house, ideal for takeaway dinners of fish and chips after long days spent on the beach. 

When you’ve had your fill of sailing, swimming and sea fishing from the beach, there’s still plenty to explore nearby. You might like to bring your bikes and set off along the coastal track. Conwy and its gorgeous castle are just twelve minutes away by car, which makes for a lovely afternoon out. Pop into a cafe for lunch before visiting the castle and taking in the history. Snowdonia National Park is also within easy reach, so any hikers in your group will be happy – a thirty-two-minute drive will see you setting off on walks that guarantee gorgeous scenery. 


Sandcastles & Salty Air

Experience a relaxing stay in the picturesque coastal town of Caernarfon, with a base at this bright home, situated just moments from the seafront and all the charming shops and cafes of the old town. 

Inside, you’ll find plenty of space for relaxing and getting cosy after a day of exploring the coastal trails. The light-filled living room invites you to kick back and settle in for an evening of movies and wine, to be shared with your loved ones. You’ll be able to rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and share them either at the dining table inside or outside on your private patio, where comfy seats await. 

Get a good night’s rest in the snuggly bedrooms and wake up bright-eyed and ready for another day of Welsh bliss. Go out and take a short stroll over to the impressive Caernarfon Castle from where you can take in the breathtaking sea views. 

The Good Stone 

This charming cottage is perfectly located for exploring the Isle of Anglesey. Though the interior is nothing out of the ordinary, the home is well-kept and has some great features, including a playroom with books, games, and even a wooden horse. Outside, guests can enjoy a private patio with stunning views of the area, as well as communal seating and a lovely courtyard at the front. There are two more cottages in the same building, so if you’re looking to accommodate a larger group, you can try and rent them together. 

The Green Eyed Angel

Poised on a private estate on the outskirts of the seaside town of Pwllheli, this breathtaking barn conversion offers the ultimate relaxing getaway. Surrounded by undulating countryside views, this home provides all the luxuries of a boutique hotel with the decadence of having it all to yourself. Its combined coastal and country setting is reflected in its steel and stone decor, brought to life with warm touches of colour that invite you to luxuriate in the home’s tall, beamed living room. After waking up under the eaves of the mezzanine bedroom, head outside to the front garden to enjoy your coffee with views of the rolling hills and sheep grazing in the fields below. Then, make your way to the private ground-floor sauna for a sumptuously relaxing way to begin the day before setting off to explore Pwllheli (a twenty-minute walk or a five-minute drive away)  famed for its weekly market, watersports, and Blue Flag beaches. Alternatively, head to Snowdonia National Park for an afternoon of hiking, twenty minutes away by car. After a day of exploring, come back home for a delicious meal – you can choose whether to cook up a feast in the wonderfully sleek kitchen replete with a boiling tap and an ice maker – not to mention its gorgeous Belfast sink – or fire up the barbecue for an alfresco treat. Then finish the night off by stargazing around the outdoor fire pit or snuggling up with a glass of wine by the living room’s wood-burning fire before heading upstairs for a wonderfully peaceful night’s sleep.

Snuggled at the southern point of Snowdonia National Park in Sarnau, this quaint abode is made for rural exploration. If you don't fancy the challenging terrains of Snowdon, there are various walking and cycling trails close by to the cottage.

This snug home infuses a homespun and rustic feel with modern comforts. Find stone walls and wooden beams looking into a TV, DVD player and contemporary cooking items. It's the perfect blend of tradition and technology. 

To really capture the privacy and peace of your home, sit out on the garden bench and admire the stunning views. Situated in a quiet hamlet, the only sounds you'll hear are from the animals in the nearby fields.

If you'd prefer to get out and explore the nearby area, the encompassing landscape is blessed with numerous mountain biking trails. If two wheels aren't your scene, Bala is just four miles away and is an oasis of water sports, abseiling and kayaking.

Once you've explored the diverse scenery around your tranquil haven, visit the welcoming pubs and restaurants around Bala. For a real Welsh treat, a Michelin star restaurant resides up the road in Llandrillo.

Bike House

With five bedrooms, a long sycamore dining table and luscious green lawns, there’s no excuse for not inviting the whole family for a trip to this Welsh farmhouse. The 16th-century building is full of historical details – look out for the old baking oven, chapel benches and even a coat of arms on the ceiling. Kids and teenagers will be glad to know they can escape to the den, complete with toys, bean bags and games – there’s even a games room, where young and old alike can get competitive playing table tennis and foosball. With plenty to keep the children entertained, enjoy a cosy evening beside the roaring fire, while admiring the rustic beamed ceilings and brickwork hearth as you catch up with relatives, get lost in a good book or even fit in a little snooze before dinner. A short eleven-minute drive will take you to Denbigh Castle, with its ancient walls and bustling art scene in town. You can also head to the long sandy beaches of North Wales in less than half an hour by car, or pull on your hiking boots and enjoy a stunning walk through the Vale of Clwyd – it is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, after all. 

Welsh Cakes

The views from this coastal cottage are nothing short of cinematic. Looking out over the Llyn Peninsula you’ll see winding coastal paths, sandy beaches and the silhouette of a castle in the distance. This home makes the most of the breathtaking views with a spacious conservatory (the most popular room in the house) and plenty of outdoor seating. There’s a wood-burning stove in the living room’s old stone fireplace and cosy bedrooms are characterised by bright wallpaper and contemporary furnishings. The kitchen is plenty large enough to fit you all at breakfast time and there's a formal dining room for evening meals. The Wales Coast Path can be accessed from the gate in your garden, and from there it's an easy walk to Criccieth Beach or Black Rock Sands. And, if for any reason you tire of the seaside, you're less than an hour’s drive from Snowdonia.

Rockabye

Located on the high street in the beautiful coastal town of Menai Bridge, this bright and airy apartment gives you the perfect base to explore not just this stretch of coastline, but further afield to Snowdonia National Park and the whole of the Isle of Anglesey – both of which make comfortable day trips.
 
Step inside your first-floor apartment, and it feels as though you’re embraced in a great big cwtch. This is a cosy, contemporary home that still manages to show off its history with original features peppered throughout. With a family-run bookshop below, head downstairs, treat yourself to a new novel, and retreat to your quiet home, cuppa in hand, and get lost in a story for a few hours. 
 
When it’s time to head out and explore the beauty that surrounds you in Menai Bridge, step out of your front door onto the high street and you can indulge in a spot of retail therapy or a tasty meal in one of the numerous restaurants available. For nature lovers, head for a peaceful stroll and you could be treated to an array of local wildlife, with a fantastic sea bird population, seals popping up every now and then, and gorgeous red squirrels all living locally. 
 
Return home, sink into your bath and enjoy a glass of wine, before heading to your comfortable bedroom with its nod to its literary roots. You can wake the next day, relaxed and refreshed, ready to write the next chapter in your own story.

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
