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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

And breathe. Surrounded by open fields, enjoy the blissful Shropshire countryside from a quintessentially English cottage farmyard. Amidst rural nature, it's hard to believe you'll actually only be a ninety-minute drive away from Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham in this secluded spot – situated a five-minute drive from the village of Maesbury. Not far away from the Welsh borders, when here it's time to restore your energy and escape the mundane for a luxury cottage retreat. Boasting characterful traditional features and bags of rustic charm – rather surprisingly the home does not compromise modern home comforts. Welcoming and cosy, the interiors reflect the countryside setting from the moment you walk through the stable-like door. With original oak beams and reclaimed wooden panelling, the open plan ground floor centres around the kitchen and lounge area. Think handcrafted redwood, a wood-burning stove as well as antique trinkets and furniture throughout. Alongside the traditional log burner, an eco-friendly, wood-pellet underfloor heating system provides constant hot water. From the kitchen, head out to the private patio area for a cup of tea in the fresh country air. Guests can also access a larger, less private, courtyard which offers a perfect sun trap from which to enjoy the summer's sun. All around the farm, you'll find peaceful places to relax and explore – over by The Orchard there's a spot for children to play freely and there's even a barbecue area in an adjacent field. Between the cottage space, additional accommodation, expansive farm grounds and surrounding fields, this dreamy location is a suitable address for group retreats or workshop weekends amongst other things. 


Old English Farmhouse

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.

Atlantic Cartography

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

Access to Beach

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.

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

With a gothic spin, this stone-built cottage has become a Worcester favourite for a unique, romantic trip. Tiny but beautiful, it's bursting with period charm and features arched windows, exposed timbers, a statement fireplace and a luxurious clawfoot tub alongside quirky decorative touches. Outside, near a stream, seating allows for alfresco meals and sunset drinks in the hot tub, and the on-site orchard is ripe for fruit picking. Your host can also arrange for a private chef or measures to take the weekend to the next level.

The Briar Rose

Converted from a hayloft in a Victorian stable block, original features like the wooden beams and porthole windows give the space a unique and rustic character. But you’ll still find plenty of modern comforts – the master bedroom features a walk-in dressing room, there's a charming Juliet balcony that opens the living room up to the treetops and there's a new log burner for staying cosy no matter the weather. Spend your days exploring the area – the city of Ludlow is only a short ten-minute drive away and boasts a castle and charming market, and there are plenty of hiking trails through the hills to add to the itinerary. When you arrive back home, run a bath fed from the local spring and put together a meal in the sociable kitchen. There's even a private cobbled courtyard to sit out in on warm evenings. If you're lucky, you'll catch sight of the swifts and swallows that nest in the area.

Ski Storage / Boot Room

This grade II listed Georgian House in Ludlow is everything we look for in a quiet village getaway. Rebuilt and lived in by former glove makers from the late 1600s, this home is steeped in history, dating back to the Civil War – and doesn't it show. There are heaps of original features to these cosy digs. We especially love the handmade oak doors, wood beam ceilings and intricate fireplace that have been professionally restored by master craftsmen. While these period features add interest, the comfy living room is our favourite spot, with its realistic optimyst stove and large L-shaped sofa. Toast up those toes in front of the fire with a good book and a glass of wine in hand – you'll feel all warm and homely in no time at all. Step outside of this 17th-century building and explore one of the loveliest market towns in England that's positively brimming with listed buildings, medieval castles and striking churches. Take a short twelve-minute walk up Corve Street to the town centre and explore this historic place for yourself.
