With far-reaching views towards the Kerry Ridgeway, this 18th century barn conversion guarantees a restful and rejuvenating stay in the heart of the Welsh countryside. Inside, it’s homely and cosy – think original timber beams, exposed stone, squashy leather sofas and snug bedrooms in the rafters. Spend your mornings pottering around the fully-equipped kitchen, putting together a tasty Welsh-inspired breakfast to be enjoyed on the patio. 

When you’re ready to explore your surroundings, take the thirteen-minute drive to Llanfair Caereinion for the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway. Or why not head south for twenty minutes to Newtown and check out the Robert Owen Museum and Oriel Davies Gallery before embarking on a scenic circular walk. Stop in at the Bull and Heifer on the way back to your abode for a slap-up dinner and a well-deserved tipple. 

Honey Bee Barn

Longing for some fresh air? This idyllic retreat promises plenty of peace, quiet and relaxation in the countryside. Nestled right on the Welsh border, scenic walks await right on your doorstep, so be sure to pack your hiking boots. No matter what time of year, you'll find something to keep you busy – be it stretching your legs with a ramble through the sheep-dotted Shropshire Hills, taking in the views from Montgomery Castle's ruined battlements or rewarding yourself after a busy day with a pint at one of the local pubs.

Back at home, the warm living area is packed with squishy sofas, well-thumbed books, board games and classic country charm. Whether you're reading in the overstuffed armchairs or snuggling up for a family film night, it's the definition of cosy, especially with the fire burning on wintery evenings. We think kids will be happy here, too. The third bedroom has children's books and delightful bunk beds, creating a little hideaway for when they crave their own space. At mealtimes, come together around the dining table for a homecooked feast – made with love in the quaint kitchen – but in the summer, it'll be hard to resist firing up the barbecue and dining alfresco on the terrace, admiring the gorgeous scenery. 

August Everlasting

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

Garden Serenity

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

Hergest Lee

Nestled deep within the foothills of the Radnor Forest, far from the madding crowds, you could feel a million miles from anywhere at this secluded Welsh idyll –⁠ which is just how we like it.

Inside, this 16th Century home has been lovingly converted with carefully curated vintage-style interiors. Exposed beams and cottage windows show the passage of time, while modern textiles and pops of colour bring a flare of modernity and a boutique-hotel feel. The bespoke shaker-style kitchen painted in a rich forest green makes preparing mealtimes a joy while your ensemble gathers around the charming kitchen table –⁠ there's room for you all.

With wood stacks by the fireplace in the cosy snug. A bookcase filled with classics. And outside, a quaint private garden for alfresco barbecues, and a babbling brook for company, you may have no desire to venture out. But really, you must. The mountainous landscapes are the perfect playground for walkers and nature-lovers. Take off into the Welsh wilderness to discover the region's famed waterfall, nicknamed Water-Break-its-Neck (a one-hour gentle stroll). 

And when thoughts turn to food, you're close to a great selection of eateries serving hearty British meals. The village of Old Radnor is just a short drive away, where you'll find an award-winning ancient longhouse inn serving Sunday lunches with unparalleled views across the Radnor Valley. 

Whinyard Rocks

Gaze out over Cader Idris and the surrounding countryside from this charming mid-Wales cottage. Its location at the head of the Dyfi Estuary makes it perfect for those looking to get away from it all with friends or family while also offering easy access to the market town of Machynlleth, 4 miles away. Lined with local shops, captivating cafes and host to a local weekly market, there's plenty to see and do. 

While the town holds a special place in Welsh history as the seat of Owain Glyndŵr's Welsh Parliament, today, it is perhaps best known as the home of the Machynlleth Comedy Festival – a side-splitting celebration of all things hilarious held over a few days each spring.

With rolling green fields, an enclosed garden, and easy access to the mountains and the sea (the beaches of Cardigan Bay are 14 miles away), life here is all about embracing the outdoors – whatever the weather. After a day spent hiking through the hills or cycling along remote tracks that lead directly from your doorstep, you'll be embraced by the welcoming atmosphere of this home away from home and the promise of a warming fire.

Just For Laughs

You can't do better than this dreamy townhouse for a cosy escape to a beautiful part of Wales. It’s a historic home that’s been lovingly renovated to retain all its charm and character and to include all those home comforts you long for on holiday. 

Right in the heart of Dolgellau, this home makes for an excellent base for exploring the nearby mountains, villages, forest and coastline. If you want to get out and see the Great Outdoors, this is a marvellous choice indeed. You can walk nine miles from your front door along an old railway line to reach Barmouth and its pretty beach, where you’ll tuck into fish and chips and breathe in the sea air. The walking route to Cader Idris in Southern Snowdonia is just fifteen minutes away, ideal for experienced hikers. Mountain bikers can head to Coes-y-Brenin Forest Park to let off steam. For a gentler excursion, you might stroll to the local shops, to a cafe for lunch, or to a pub for a post-hike pint. 

After a day spent outdoors, you couldn’t ask for a more warm or welcoming home to return to. Rest your weary feet in front of the log burner in the inglenook fireplace, or curl up in the reading nook with a book and a cuppa. The lounge boasts vaulted ceilings and tall windows and is a lovely place to gather together. Play board games or get competitive playing table football. The main bedroom leads onto a decked balcony, and there’s also a pretty garden – you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing where to drink your morning coffee. 


Cosy Cymru

You don’t come across cottages like this very often, there’s a real serenity to the location and it has stunning views (however, the remoteness might not suit everyone). Relax in the sunshine in the garden or drink in those vistas of the Tanat Valley from the lovely orangery or the bedrooms upstairs. The farmhouse-style kitchen is perfect for a hearty breakfast before going for a long walk around the area. Or you could explore the beautiful Lake Vyrnwy, the Revolution Bike Park less than 1 mile away or Snowdonia National Park, 25 miles from this gorgeous home. 

Meadowside Mornings

This pretty home can be found beside the River Wnion in the small market town of Dolgellau, right at the heart of Snowdonia. It’s a wonderful base for exploring the national park, but staying home is just as much of a treat here. You can enjoy riverside views from the garden, where you’ll have a hot tub to relax in, in addition to a barbecue. Inside, the mill conversion boasts a wood-burning stove and a games room that’s ideal for older children. Little ones will need to be supervised on the spiral staircase. 

Welsh Stone

Embrace a slower pace of life, tucked into the idyllic Dyfi Valley, surrounded by the rolling hills of Northern Wales. This cottage feels like a storybook getaway, with a garden dotted with vibrant foliage and a soothing stream passing by. It's the perfect place to switch off and soak in the beauty of the great outdoors, with the vast Snowdonia National Park on your doorstep. 

This quaint cottage is as beautiful inside as it is on the outside, a mix of stucco walls and traditional stone brick. We love the cosy living room, with wood-beamed ceilings, a stone brick wall, and a crackling wood-burning fireplace. It's warm and inviting – the ideal place for relaxing and watching the TV after a day on your feet. It might be a traditional cottage, but the kitchen is sleek, contemporary, and big enough for everyone to pitch in to help prepare meals. While there's something comforting and familial about preparing meals together and then eating around the kitchen table, we imagine you'll also love the outdoor dining table. 

The garden is surrounded by luscious, beautiful greenery, where you can spend lazy mornings tucking into a continental breakfast out in the fresh air, enjoying the comforting sounds of the chirping birds and the babbles of the stream. When you're energised after a hearty breakfast, the historic market town of Machynlleth is just a twelve-minute drive away. There are endless walking trails around here, or simply explore the town's art galleries, quaint shops, cafes, pubs, museums, and more. And if you want to take a walk along the coast, you're within easy reach of North Wales' blustering beaches. 

Across the Footbridge

This barn conversion in deepest Herefordshire is bursting with rural authenticity. Not only is the property located close to a peaceful nature reserve complete with lakes, but it's also been Grade-II listed to protect its historical importance. However, despite this impressive pedigree, the home's interior is pretty contemporary, with a sleek kitchen, four-poster bedrooms and tiled bathrooms sitting quite comfortably underneath the original wooden ceiling beams. Out the front, there's a private garden with seating and views of hills and forests, but there's also an additional courtyard to the back that's shared with neighbours. If gazing out at the countryside vista inspires you to explore this beautiful county, you're well-placed for bird-spotting and long rambles, perhaps finished with a meal at The Stagg Inn, a well-praised gastropub that sits no more than two minute's walk from your front door.

Long-Eared Owl

You’ll find this cedar-clad lodge in the quiet village of Coelbren, right on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Inside, it’s modern yet cosy. There’s a convivial living space with squishy reclining sofas and a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking up tasty Welsh-inspired meals. 

Spend lazy mornings breakfasting on the decking before challenging your loved ones to a game of pool. When you’d like to take the relaxation up a notch, jump in the hot tub and soak your cares away. 

Afternoons are for exploring the surrounding countryside; set out on one of many walking routes that unfold from your doorstep. Henrhyd Falls, of film and TV fame, is a thirteen-minute stroll away, while the Craig-y-nos Country Park – one of our favourite picnicking spots – is reached in around an hour and ten minutes by car. Should you prefer to head into the city, it’s a forty-minute drive to Swansea.

As dusk falls across the unspoilt landscape, head back to your abode for a barbecue dinner and a well-earned glass of bubbly.
