Open Skies
Open Skies, Plum Guide home in Wales
Click to book Open Skies now: from £200 per night Nestled at the edge of the dramatic Cambrian Mountain range, this home is a fantastic base for guests hoping for some adventure. Start the day with a hearty breakfast beside the giant windows and gaze out over the luscious countryside as you plan your itinerary. Keep your eyes peeled and you could spot a red kite – the area is famous for birds of prey. The Brecon Beacons National Park is close by, with cycling and hiking opportunities for all levels of experience. You’re also within driving distance of Cardigan Bay, which is known for its population of bottlenose dolphins – watch them from dry land or hop on one of the boat trips for a closer look. After a busy day out you can return home to a roaring wood burning stove and some tasty Welsh cakes or a glass of wine provided by your host. Sleeps up to 4 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
Plas Dinam
Plas Dinam Lodge, Plum Guide home in Wales
Click to book Plas Dinam now: from £800 per night Get a group together and make a weekend of it when you stay at this charming country mansion. Close to the Wales-England border, this idyllic property is surrounded by rolling hills and wildflower meadows. The Shropshire Hills are just a short drive away, but you don’t need to get into the car for an outdoor adventure; this home has thirteen acres of its own, available for you to exclusively roam. Adults can challenge each other on the tennis court, while the children will have fun in the den building area. This fifteen-bedroom home is perfect for any celebration, from a wedding to an extended family get-together. Children (or adults) will lose themselves playing hide and seek in the many rooms. The interior design combines vintage chic with traditional grandiosity. Steal a moment of quiet in one of the luxurious sitting rooms, read a book from the library or beat a friend at billiards. With so many opportunities for entertainment, there will be plenty of highlights to recall around the dinner table. Sleeps up to 32 | 15 Bedrooms | 11 Bathrooms
The Cartshed
The Cartshed, Plum Guide home in Wales
Click to book The Cartshed now: from £117 per night This old cart shed dates back to the 17th century, and though the ancient stone exterior and high wooden beams are a photogenic reminder of its heritage, there’s nothing dated about the cool, lime-plaster walls and stylish interior. Bright and contemporary, with pops of sunny yellows and decorative tiles, this two-bedroom home ensures your stay in the Welsh countryside is filled with comfort. You’re in the middle of some truly excellent rambling routes like Three Castles Walk and the Offa’s Dyke Path, and history buffs will relish a day out to local castles and structures even older than your home. The surrounding area is a mountain bikers paradise with Bike Park Wales and Black Mountain nearby. After spending the day tramping through the wilderness or touring tea rooms, ease into the evening bundled up in the courtyard stargazing or relaxing in front of a good film in the cosy living room. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
Plas Dinam Lodge
Plas Dinam Lodge, Plum Guide home in Wales
Click to book Plas Dinam Lodge now: from £200 per night Stake out your own little patch of Welsh countryside with this lodge, built in similar style to the grand Plas Dinam country house on whose grounds it stands. This is prime rambling territory, with options for scenic walks including strolling by the River Severn, cresting the surrounding hills and exploring the beach at Aberdovey. On cooler days, curl up by the wood-burning stove while an apple crumble bakes in the Smeg oven. There’s also a Nespresso coffee machine in the kitchen to provide your daily cup of joe. A word of warning – your group may find themselves fighting over the ensuite master bedroom and that enviable clawfoot bath. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
The Local Bakery
The Local Bakery, Plum Guide home in Wales
Click to book The Local Bakery now: from £200 per night This traditional North Wales cottage once housed the local bakery. Spread out across a single floor, this bungalow is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway. The exterior makes use of the quarryman's slate, iconic to this area of Wales. Use this cosy bolthole as a base for exploring Snowdonia National Park, one of the last truly wild spaces in the UK. The village of Trawsfynydd is right in the centre of the National Park, close to a large reservoir where you can walk, cycle or fish. There are plenty to do in the wider area, from hiking Mount Snowdon to visiting the Italian-inspired Portmeirion village. Once you're back from your adventure, snuggle up in front of the TV with a glass of wine or enjoy a barbecue on the patio. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
