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.

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

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

Free Parking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Valley Barn

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

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.

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. 


Sandcastles & Salty Air

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.

Home Cinema Setup

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

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

Welcoming guests in style, this converted barn in West Yorkshire boasts a large living area with ample room to socialise and sprawl out. In keeping with its rustic charm, it features plenty of exposed stone, wooden beams and high vaulted ceilings, while modern touches such as a striking bespoke staircase, innovative handmade lighting and a sleek island kitchen have been installed with luxury and comfort in mind. Enjoy meals together at the long table in the open dining area, admiring scenic views of the Yorkshire countryside through vast picture windows. Venture off into the surrounding area and experience the picturesque views first hand, discovering the tranquil beauty of the woodlands. When you're in the mood for exploring further, take a short drive to the quaint village of Ripponden for a hearty pub meal in one of the charming eateries and an enticing taste of the slow life.

Tell a Tale

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.
