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.

With stunning Clwydian Range views and plenty of things to do, it's hard to pinpoint this home's best feature – we loved it all. Your morning coffee comes with a view here, as many bedrooms step directly out onto the terrace, while the large alfresco dining area will be popular when the sun's out. Indoors, the games room and indoor swimming pool will compete for your attention during the day, and there's even a cosy cave bar for nightcaps. And although you'll feel far removed from the city here, you're just a few miles from several local pubs, and Wrexham and Chester are a quick drive if you want to explore.

The Countryside Retreat

Cafetiere

Free Parking

Bike Shed

Peace and quiet awaits at this 16th-century farmhouse in North Wales, surrounded by picturesque valleys, green fields and abundant wildlife. From the white painted exterior to the red picket fence and private garden around the back, there's an instantly inviting feel to this countryside home. But that's not all – you'll find a few luxury features to this one too. 

Stepping inside, wood-beamed ceilings, brown leather furnishings and two traditional log burners keep things warm and welcoming, while the sleek kitchen, dining area, and four generously sized bedrooms add that extra level of modern comfort. You'll even find a games room with your own pool table, a large garden, and a covered hot tub for an evening soak. And, when the weathers good, enjoy alfresco breakfasts out on the patio, before setting off for your day's adventure. 

You're a short drive from several outstanding hiking trails, including Snowdonia National Park (twenty-six minutes) and Clwydian Range (thirty-nine minutes), while the charming towns of Corwen and Ruthin are both less than twenty minutes by car. 

Nature's Nest

Safety Gates

The Longbarn is a luxurious Grade II listed holiday home that offers stunning views of the Vale of Clwyd. The award-winning property has been recently renovated and tastefully furnished to create a cozy, bright, and stylish feel. The spacious living area is filled with natural light and has a wood-burning stove, while the well-equipped kitchen features an herb garden for guests to use. The property has three bedrooms, including one on the ground floor with an en-suite shower room and direct access to the patio. A private enclosed garden with a patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and enjoying beautiful sunsets. The location on a working farm offers guests all the benefits of being in nature without sacrificing amenities, as Ruthin and other towns of interest are easily accessible. Up to three well-behaved dogs are welcome for an additional charge.

Gower Cottage

Sometimes you just need to escape from the hustle and bustle. This charming 16th-century farmhouse in Wales is the perfect place to relax and unwind, and to embrace a slower pace of life. 

The farmhouse is a peaceful retreat, tucked away in the countryside between Corwen and Ruthin. It’s surrounded by wildlife and nature, and feels a million miles from the stresses of daily life. This is a traditional home for sure – check out the original built-in bread oven – but it’s been brought up to date with touches of luxury. You’ll spend rainy afternoons curled up in front of a roaring log burner, beneath wooden beams, but can warm up in the hot tub later on. You really get the best of both worlds here. 

Kids will love the games room and garden, and grown-ups are sure to enjoy sipping Champagne in the hot tub while admiring the countryside views. The barbecue and outside seating means that when the weather is fine you can dine outside. The kitchen is lovely too, with a classic farmhouse table at its centre – each morning you can sit down to a hearty Welsh breakfast to set you up for the day. 

Snowdonia National Park is a twenty-seven-minute drive away. Head out early for a peaceful hike, and revel in the natural beauty of the setting. The farmhouse is also within easy reach of Clwydian Range, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a magical part of the UK, and a gorgeous home to experience it from. 


Welsh Cakes & Tea

Umbrellas

This home was once a hayloft in a former life — the original circular window on the front is so shaped for pitching hay through — but today it's a perfectly cosy space for a rural getaway. Despite this functional heritage, you can safely banish any thoughts of cramped living quarters. Illuminated by a series of skylights, guests get access to a recently refitted kitchen that is plenty big enough for cooking up hearty dinners, as well as a lounge with comfy furnishings for sprawling out upon after long country walks. There is no shortage of outdoor pursuits to undertake in North Shropshire and just across the Welsh border, including wandering along the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, only twenty-four minutes away in the car. The Boat House gastropub on the outskirts of Ellesmere is only six minutes' walk away, too.

Once a humble farm building back in the past, this home is now a Grade-II listed home surrounded by three acres of grounds and orchards in rural Cheshire.

Despite this sense of heritage, the interior is more contemporary in style, with stark white walls, a smart grey kitchen and a whirlpool tub in one of the bathrooms. Of course, it wouldn't feel like a real country getaway without a log-burner and there's one ready and waiting for chilly evenings in the living room.

If you're visiting during the warmer months, however, there's a private patio complete with a gas barbecue, as well as plenty of quiet spots out among the grounds. The hosts really make the most of this outdoor space and are happy to share their homemade produce — be it cider, apple juice or fresh eggs from the chickens that also call the address home.

It's fair to say that the home's location is isolated, but there are plenty of distractions if you look hard enough. Cyclists and walkers are fond of Bickerton Hill, which lies ten minutes' drive away, while the historic town of Chester only takes half an hour to reach in the car.

This stunning country house has everything you could wish for – it’s the ultimate luxury getaway destination. Built in 1840, the design blends historic charm with modern luxury. We love all the bougie touches, from glittering chandeliers to the summer kitchen on the patio. The leisure suite, with a heated indoor pool and gym, is an excellent feature, as is the roof terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding Cheshire countryside. There’s also a cinema room, a series of grand living spaces, and a restaurant. You won’t want to leave. 

The Cheshire Set

Surrounded by farmlands, mountains, and valleys, this is a wonderful choice for those seeking a country escape. In this 19th-century converted barn, you can leave behind the daily grind and flourish in the bucolic surroundings of North Wales. Despite being in the heart of the verdant countryside, you’re just on the outskirts of Llangollen, a pretty town steeped in legend and beauty.

In such a gorgeous location, you can imagine how lovely your outdoor space is. Morning coffees are best enjoyed out here, swinging in the hanging egg chair or around the garden table. Then, you’ll love finishing off long walks through Dee Valley with a crisp glass of wine in the courtyard, letting the dog dart around the fenced-off paddock if they’re not yet tired out. 

Inside, the interior is simple yet homely, with a glowing fireplace promising cosy evenings on the sofa – a glass of wine in one hand, a good book in the other. Or, you might enjoy nights around the farmhouse-style dining table, tucking into a home-cooked dinner while games of Monopoly roll on for hours. However you spend your evening, you’ll sleep blissfully in your cosy beds, before waking up to picturesque views down to Dee Valley and across the rolling mountains.

There’s a lot to discover in this idyllic slice of Wales. Explore the 13th-century Castell Dinas Bran, climb Llantysilio Mountain, swim beneath the Horseshoe Falls, and take walks through the valley. Llangollen itself is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bursting with historical sites, cute tearooms, and classic pubs.

Bucolic Beginnings

Parking On Street

From picturesque hiking trails and rustic scenery to cosy pubs and historic market towns, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from its pretty position in the village of Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 

Whether you’re in search of a quiet retreat or an action-packed adventure, the owners have designed this space to bring warmth and comfort to your stay. And with an abundance of space to relax and share quality time together, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make it your own. Enjoy slow breakfasts around the table, embrace the fresh countryside air with leisurely walks and return for lazy afternoons around the fire followed by drinks and cosy movie nights. You’ll also find The Griffin Inn (within walking distance) provides a great option for dining out and soaking up quintessential Welsh charm.  

For explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to the historic town of Ruthin, while the city of Chester is a thirty-five-minute drive away. 

Valley of Peace

Baby Bath

Paid Parking On Street

This home in the heart of Chester is full of thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, a breakfast hamper, books and board games for the children, and even yoga mats and blocks should you feel the urge to ‘om’ while staying here. From the peace and quiet of the street, you’d never guess you were just a two-minute walk from Chester’s historic centre. Almost all the town's biggest sights are within walking distance in fact – you’re minutes from Grosvenor Park, the River Dee, Chester Racecourse, and the Roman Amphitheatre. Built in the 19th century, the house has been fully renovated and has a bright, fresh feel to it that is instantly welcoming. Decorated in refreshing whites, there are bright splashes of orange, green, and yellow to greet you in the morning. And after a day of sightseeing, the courtyard garden is a suntrap and the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing drink or reviving cup of tea.

Pause For Thought

Home Cinema Setup

There's an awful lot to like about this Regency home, but to start with anything but the incredible location feels almost sacrilegious. Sitting on top of Chester's old walls and overlooking the River Dee, you'll spend countless hours on the rear terrace, dining and relaxing with this most scenic of backdrops.

That being said, the home's interior is quite impressive, too. The tall windows and high ceilings lend an innate grandeur, and this is only furthered by the contemporary design that gives classic tropes – chandeliers, wood-panelled bookshelves, copper bathtubs – a modern-day spin. The stunning kitchen and cosy living room complete with roaring fireplace are sure to be favourites among those with sophisticated tastes, but there's also a massive games room and home cinema to keep everybody entertained.

When you can prise yourself away from this home's many amenities, there's a wealth of historic attractions, buzzy bars and riverside walking paths to explore in local Chester, but there are other options a little further afield – beaches on the north Welsh coastline can be reached in 45 minutes' drive, while Liverpool sits a similar amount of time to the north.





Regent's Treat

Outdoor Audio

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

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.

Bike House

Sitting amid green countryside in an elevated position overlooking the Irish Sea and Dee Estuary, this cosy home is an ideal base for those keen to explore the North Wales coast. Begin your mornings outside on the patio, cup of tea in hand, watching the boats bob on the blue horizon. When you’re ready for breakfast, rustle up something tasty in the fully-equipped kitchen and dine all together in the open-plan living area. 

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. Head home in the early evening to watch the sunset from your enviable vantage point then retreat to the quiet bedrooms for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Yma o Hyd

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

This cosy cottage is tucked down a quiet street within the historic walls of Conwy. Perfectly sized for two guests, there’s an open-plan living room with a wood-burning fire, a snug bedroom and a small courtyard (shared with the neighbours). Two dogs are welcome to join you here, plus there’s a sweet welcome pack with Prosecco provided for your arrival. Outside, you’ll find everything you could need on the doorstep. 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

Slow down at this Welsh cottage set in the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog fringing the mighty Snowdonia National Park. Inside, the original period features of this slate-clad home have been carefully restored to create a modern family home boasting comfortable interiors. The welcome hamper stuffed with local goodies is a nice touch, and outside, there's an enclosed terrace to savour morning cuppas. Parking on the road outside the cottage can be tricky, but with a free car park nearby, we don't think it's a dealbreaker. When you're ready for an adventure, Snowdonia National Park is just a short drive away. Or stay local and climb the surrounding Moelwynion Mountains to reach Stiniog –⁠ the views are worth the climb.

Paths to Dawn

Single-Level Home

Access to Beach

Characterful and cosy, this charming coastal retreat is mere steps away from Aberdyfi Beach. The crashing waves are so close you can almost touch them from the living area – in fact, you can sit at the dining table and see the beach out the big windows. It's the perfect spot to savour a glass of wine and people-watch, but with the art galleries, restaurants and the sea on your doorstep, you'll surely be tempted out. On rainy days, curl up with a book on the squishy sofas, play a board game or two, or just snooze the afternoon away in the two comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up delicious dinners, and there are plenty of shops nearby to stock up on ingredients and fresh seafood. Aberdovey is a small seaside village on the harbour, but there's plenty nearby to keep you entertained – be it crabbing on the jetty, sea rowing at the rowing club or nibbling on fish and chips at a beachside picnic. But for more action-packed adventures, hike the picturesque Wales Coast Path or roam the nature reserves in Snowdonia National Park – the ancient woodland in Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve is an hour's drive.

Ocean's Dance

Dating back to the 19th century, this barn in the White Peak area of the Peak District has ben given a new lease of life in recent years. No longer used for farmyard storage, it's now a country getaway full of luxurious touches.

Save for the sections of exposed stonework, you wouldn't be able to guess this home's true age. The design is contemporary but definitely rustic in flavour, with bare floorboards, artfully weathered wooden furnishings and a Scandinavian-style wood-burning stove that's the ideal companion to return to after a long bout in the great outdoors. The svelte rolltop bathtub upstairs is another way to get toasty and warm, too.

As you can probably guess from looking out through the glass doors to bucolic views of rolling countryside, you're not short of walking routes and picturesque scenic points in the immediate locale. The historic market town of Longnor only takes five minutes to reach in the car as well and offers a one pub, coffee shop & village shop.
