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.

This pretty stone cottage used to be an old dairy. It’s now been lovingly converted into a holiday cottage with all the comforts you could wish for. Modern convenience sits side by side with original features in this charm-filled home. 

Just a five-minute drive from Menai Bridge, and with all of Anglesey’s delights just waiting to be discovered, this cottage is in an excellent location. The nearest beach is just two miles away, so make sure you bring your bucket and spade. There are hikes to enjoy, and cosy country pubs to discover. 

When you return to the cottage, you can make the most of the good weather by taking a seat outside. The cottage is tucked away within a private courtyard, where you can sit out and enjoy a cuppa and some Welsh cakes. Stroll around the lush gardens of the neighbouring farmhouse and admire the pond and flowers. Later on, you might curl up in the lounge for a cosy game night with the family after takeaway fish and chips.


The Courtyard Garden

Hot Tub

This classy barn conversion is on the isle of Anglesey, just across the Menai Strait. Perfect for extended family or a group of friends, you'll be treated to some of life's luxuries in this rural retreat. There's a fabulous hot tub that's all yours, with far-reaching views across the island. And a big, sociable living space, with a cosy log burner and a grand vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is well-equipped if you feel like cooking and there's a coffee machine to make life a little easier. You'll be just a couple of minutes' drive from the iconic Menai Bridge, and from the pretty seaside village of Beaumaris, with a range of great places to eat and drink. Back at the barn after a day exploring, you can pour a drink, get the barbecue going and sink into that hot tub.

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

Stair Gates

A beautifully converted farm building set on a working dairy farm, this home does away with all the vintage styling and knick-knacks you might expect – instead bringing crisp, modern decor and home-from-home comfort. Bright, nicely laid-out and perfect for a couple or a small family, it's a quiet, rural retreat just five miles from some of Anglesey's popular beaches.  

Lovers of the countryside will be in their element here, with a milking parlour just along the track and a small campsite on the doorstep, and you're welcome to watch the milking take place. As part of your welcome gift, you'll even receive some Rhyd y Delyn Welsh cheese – produced on-site by the owners, no less. 

Back at the cottage, you'll have a well-equipped eat-in kitchen and a small outdoor table and chairs so you can eat outside in fine weather. And the master bedroom has a small balcony, giving you a great view. Keen walkers and cyclists will find lots to explore and it's less than hour's drive to the footpaths of Mount Snowdon.

The Milk Churn

Whether you're planning a relaxing getaway or an active trip, this sweet house is a true Welsh wonder. Located on Anglesey, it's the perfect spot for small groups to call home during their trip to the historic island. 

The dog-friendly home is located on a working farm, giving you a true taste of rural life. You can even watch the cows being milked, before tucking into some complimentary Rhyd y Delyn Welsh cheese produced on-site by the owners. On sunny days, you can enjoy a craft gin and tonic outside on the patio or on the balcony as you breathe in the fresh, clean air. And, if the weather isn't playing ball, the inside space is modern yet welcoming, ideal for watching movies on the sofa and cooking hearty meals in the kitchen. 

Hop on your bike or lace up your walking boots to explore the stunning countryside, right on your doorstep. If you fancy a day by the sea, then you can easily drive over to Llanddona Beach or join the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path. Surfers will be in paradise here – and, when you feel like a day trip, the iconic South Stack Lighthouse is within driving distance. 

Life On The Island

Explore Anglesey from this east-coast escape, just steps away from the coastal path – which offers a 130-mile circular route past the island's secluded coves, vast sandy beaches and captivating villages – it's an ideal base for hikers and bikers. However, with far-reaching sea views from all rooms at the front of the house and the front garden seating area, you won't have to move far to appreciate the island's beauty. Centrally located in the quaint former fishing village of Moelfre, you'll find a convenience store, a couple of cafes and a pub a short stroll away, while it's a five-minute drive to the neighbouring village of Benllech, where there are a couple of supermarkets for stocking up on essentials. 


Seen From the Sea

This charming cottage is set in seven acres of open countryside with spectacular panoramic views towards Snowdonia. The home has been renovated to maximise convenience for guests with reduced mobility or disabilities, laid out over one floor with a cosy open living and dining area. On warm evenings make the most of the patio, complete with a barbecue for easy summer dinners. Close to the village of Llanfairpwll, an abbreviation of the longest place name in Britain, the cottage is an ideal base for visiting local attractions both on the Isle of Anglesey and on the mainland. You’re a few minutes drive from the local shops and pub, and fifteen minutes from Llanddwyn Beach. Surfing, diving, kayaking, coasteering and sailing are all within a half an hour's drive of the cottage. So try out whatever activity your heart desires in the local area, from horse riding and golf to water sports and cycling. You'll be perfectly positioned here to lap up the very best of Anglesey, its coastline and its breathtaking natural beauty. 

Shadow & Light

Sitting at the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, this cottage is the perfect jumping-off point to explore everything that the nearby national park has to offer. 

With room for four guests, it's ideal for a family getaway. Of course, climbing the famous Snowdon has to be the main draw, but the hilly trails are also great for cycling, and calm lakes are perfect for stand-up paddleboarding. Thrill-seekers can be sure to get their kicks too at the world's fastest zipline, just 10 miles away. 

The surrounding village has a couple of cafes within a short stroll, where you can fuel your body each morning, while lakeside Llanberis is just 4 miles away – it's here that you'll find the start of the Snowdonia trail. Elsewhere the grand medieval town of Caernarfon sits on the coast, a fifteen-minute drive from your front door – its Unesco-recognised castle is well worth exploring.

After a long day of adventures, this cosy cottage is the perfect spot to return to. Dine outside at the south-facing picnic table in the summer months. On chilly nights rustle up warming Welsh fare in the dine-in kitchen before settling down in front of the flame-effect stove, set beautifully in exposed stonework – utter bliss. 

Slate Miner's Cottage

Built in 1816, this Grade II listed former school house offers a comfortable family getaway in the heart of  Beaumaris, with the town’s shops, coastline, moated castle and historic gaol all just a short stroll away. A cosy gas fireplace in the living room provides the perfect spot to unwind on cooler evenings and rainy days, while the sunroom and its access to the garden is a definite highlight here too. Balmy afternoons can be spent playing lawn games and enjoying alfresco barbecue meals when you’re not out exploring. But if you can bear to tear yourself away, you’ll find Penmon Priory and Dovecote nearby with a little toll road leading to Penmon Point, opposite Puffin Island and its charming lighthouse.


The Craft Maker 

Parking On Premises

Single-Level Home

Step-Free Access

With beautifully restored stone and wooden beams featuring throughout, the original elements of this property have been classically modernised. Awash with natural light, the living space has the luxury of skylights and character glass archway doors, to make the most of the countryside views. The white marble splashback brings this property into the 21st century whilst still maintaining the Welsh cottage touches, with daffodils on the windowsill. The interlinked living and dining spaces make for the perfect social setting and a hearty family dinner. When you’re ready for a nightcap, you may choose to enjoy a glass of red whilst soaking in the delightful bathtub. What better way to relax the day away?

We wish the walls of this barn could speak – arrow slit windows are one of the many stunning historical features of the bedrooms, which gives this home so much character. On waking in the morning, you may fancy a cuppa huddled around the firepit on the large patio area. It will set you up perfectly for a day exploring what the local area has to offer. Golden beaches, the fastest zip wire in Europe and enchanting cafes just scratch the surface of the delights available nearby during your stay. And with your home located on a fifty-acre estate, you’ll have plenty of nature to enjoy right on your doorstep! 

The Longhouse

Just a short stroll from Benllech Beach, this detached cottage provides the perfect setting for a refreshing coastal getaway. You’ll be welcomed by a cosy atmosphere as well as fresh flowers and homemade cake (your host can also organise a pre-arrival shopping delivery). Other highlights included the private patio and a wood-burning stove, plus the rooms are spread across one level – making this a great option for guests with reduced mobility. From here, you’ll find easy access to local amenities, while keen walkers will appreciate the close proximity to the Anglesey Coastal Path. 


The Old Sea Cottage

Air Conditioning

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

The Isle of Anglesey invites you to spend a blissful trip exploring its many beaches, hiking paths and idyllic villages – all of which are easy to reach when you stay at this quaint cottage. Set on a working farm, this home is primed for a picturesque stay, with a peaceful setting that makes it feel remote and secluded, together with great amenities and features to ensure your trip to Wales is as wonderful as can be.

Inside, you'll find charming cottage features – the wood burner fireplace is great for cuddling up next to on cosy winter evenings, while the freestanding bathtub makes a great spot for a long soak after walks in the countryside. It's all tied together with a neutral colour scheme that invokes a sense of calm.

Outside, you'll enjoy access to a private patio area, with a picnic table where you can snack together on Welsh cakes while you enjoy the fresh air, and an outdoor sofa where you can relax with a good book.

Welsh Cakes & Coffee

This converted Welsh barn is a lovely place for a family holiday. Though it may appear a little traditional to some, it is well-kept and feels like a home away from home. It features some great amenities, such as the conservatory with cosy seating which boasts stunning views of the area. Our favourite part is the outside however, with a terrace to make the most of the Welsh sunshine and even a hot tub, with spectacular views of Snowdonia. Guests can head over there for some impressive hikes or real dare-devils can take on Europe’s longest zip-wire at ZipWorld. 

The Breanna

We may have found the most adorable home for two. This former milking parlour is one of a small group of cottages in the heart of the Anglesey countryside. Rural, secluded and perfectly in tune with nature, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down. Wander down secret paths in the extensive grounds then take a seat on the deck to watch the dragonflies hovering above the water. The fishing lake is well stocked and there can surely be few more idyllic places for casting a line. Inside the single-storey stone cottage, you’ll find pine furniture, pretty coordinating fabrics and a log burner to warm your toes by. With Anglesey’s dramatic coastline just a short drive away, big surf and blustery coastal walks are in plentiful supply. Stock up for supper in the bustling market town of Llangefni, before hunkering down for the night together. 

The Milk Room

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

From here, it’s a short walk to the castle, beaches and amenities. It’s also a great base for guests looking to adventure further afield and explore Snowdonia National Park.

Sea on the Horizon

You’ll find this home in Talwrn village, a ten-minute drive from Benllech and around five minutes from Llangefni.

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

Set on a working farm, this charming cottage is located in the heart of Anglesey. There’s a small courtyard with a patio area which offers beautiful views out towards Snowdonia Mountain Range on a clear day, while a large shared lawn area is ideal as a playground for the kids. Inside, there’s a wood burner for chilly nights too. Out and about, explore attractions such as Beaumaris Castle, Pili Palas' Nature World, and Llanddwyn Island, while the short bridge crossing to mainland North Wales provides access to places like Snowdonia.

Smart TV

Halo of Green

Private Washing Machine

With waterside views across the Menai Straits and the Wales Coast Path directly on your doorstep, this home is all about the location for us. Inside, it’s fuss-free and comfortable for six guests, with the flexibility to have two bedrooms set up as twins or kings, depending on your preference. Sure, the twin rooms are a bit of a squeeze. You’ll also need to mind your head on the sloping ceiling of the second-floor bedroom and en-suite WC, but the vistas from each floor and the water-facing balcony more than make up for it. Bangor, Snowdonia National Park, Caernarfon and Anglesey are all within driving distance, so this is a great option for exploring North Wales.

The Gwynedd Flower

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 

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

Rain Shower

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

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

Take advantage of sunny afternoons with an invigorating walk through your locale or pack your seaside essentials and drive for ten minutes to Talacre Beach. After a bracing paddle, nip over to Prestatyn for its traditional pubs and laidback restaurants.

Yma o Hyd

Garden Games

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

Nestled in the tranquil village of Rowen in North Wales, this charming cottage promises a relaxing retreat. A home for all seasons, colder months can be spent snuggled up by the wood burner, while in summer, the garden is a serene spot to enjoy alfresco meals as you listen to the babbling river running by. When you’re ready to venture out, you’ll find historic Conwy, Llandudno, Betws-y-Coed and a selection of beaches all within easy reach – however you like to spend your time, there’s something for everyone here. 

River Reverie

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

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

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. Books and games are provided for entertainment, and the wood burning stove adds that extra layer of homeliness. 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.

Welsh Wisteria

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

This charming stone cottage in North Wales accommodates two guests and one child, with spectacular views of the Snowdonia Mountains from a secluded position above the Eglwysbach valley. The Bodnant Estate offers ten luxury self-catering cottages, including Ty Newydd, sleeping eight guests, and Lletty, sleeping six guests. The estate features hilly and wooded countryside in the lower reaches of the Conwy Valley and various houses and cottages available for rent as holiday lets. The cozy cottage has been sympathetically extended to provide generous openings between the main rooms and includes a wood-burning stove, oak floors, an enclosed garden, garden furniture, barbecue, and Wi-Fi. Guests can explore over 20 miles of private paths winding through woods and farms across the estate or visit the world-famous Bodnant Garden owned by the National Trust. Fishing permits are available at Bodnant Garden Centre. Other nearby attractions include Zip World Fforest, Adventure Parc Snowdonia, Welsh Mountain Zoo, sandy beaches of Llandudno, Conwy and Colwyn Bay, Penrhyn Castle and several Welsh castles.

The Time Machine

Only a short stroll from the Padarn Lake, this apartment puts Llanberis' castle ruins and restaurants on your doorstep. Ideal for couples seeking a Welsh escape, there's also room for two more guests on the sofa bed in a cosy living space. And the private garden is a bonus during the warmer months. Love history? Visit the National Slate Museum. Though the nearby steam train ride is a worthwhile day trip, you'll need a car to fully tour the mountain scenery of Snowdonia National Park.

A Welsh Tale

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.

The Chapel Doors

A small town with an intriguing history, the compact grid system of Caerwys was allegedly the model layout for the first settler who mapped out the city of Philadelphia. But far from its transatlantic, urban sibling, this quaint village has stuck to its rustic roots. At the heart of the town, a five-minute walk from the golf club, four from the 13th century St. Michaels Church, and less than a minute from your nearest pub, this cottage is ready to welcome you home. As you arrive, its rugged stone exterior oozes rural, village charm. The white door beckons you inside, where underfloor heating allows you to explore every room in warmth and comfort. Its cosy, traditional lounge features a wood-burning stove and plump leather sofas – perfect for snuggling up with a classic novel as you sip hot chocolate. But on summer days, the conservatory at the back offers a modern, sunlit nook for sipping chilled pinot grigio. We love the stylish, bi-folding doors leading out to your private patio and courtyard. With picnic benches, a barbecue, alfresco dining table, plus a view of the aforementioned church, you’ll be spending every balmy afternoon in this idyllic spot.

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.

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
