Tucked deeply in Ceredigion’s Rheidol Valley, this cottage for four is utterly peaceful and well-located for exploring this corner of mid-Wales. A haven for wildlife lovers, rare red kites and buzzards inhabit the area (don’t forget to bring your binoculars). Footpaths lead directly from the garden into paddocks, woodland, valley and hills so you can ramble to your heart’s content. Local trails focus on nearby Devil’s Bridge – a village with an unusual three-tiered bridge that crosses a deep gorge in the vicinity of gushing waterfalls – and there are more trails at the 200-hectare Hafod Estate in neighbouring Ystwyth Valley. At home, the cottage is comfortable excellence across two floors, where wooden beams meet old-world furnishings. Discover the cottage’s hot tub, sauna and games room or warm your toes beside the flickering fireplace in the lounge. The undercover barbecue and outdoor dining area mean you can enjoy dining al fresco whatever the weather – and while that's cooking up, the kids can play freely in the fields watching the sheep pass them by.

Try out brand new recipes in the spacious kitchen as you watch the trees move with the refreshing breeze, and tuck into tasty meals al fresco style on the patio under the sunshine.

We recommend spending evenings out here to watch the sun set behind the silhouette of nature – grab a flute of sparkling champagne as you unwind.

Relax in the enclosed garden with its private hot tub – the perfect spot for a glass of bubbly. Or dine under the gazebo, whatever the weather. Inside, there’s a plush blue velvet sofa to rest on after a long country walk. Or whip up some Welsh rarebit in the sleek kitchen with its granite work surfaces.

Out and about, the beautiful sands and dunes of Ynyslas are 4 miles away, if you fancy a walk on the beach, a picnic or a spot of windsurfing, while a little further is Borth with its pubs and shops.

The open plan living space downstairs allows the aroma of a delicious homecooked meal to flow throughout the house as it cooks in the oven, which can then be enjoyed al fresco style in the garden with a glass of sumptuous wine.

Out in the peace and quiet of the Ceredigion countryside, this cottage is a bolthole for an away-from-it-all break. It sits against the green fields and towering trees, a traditional stone cottage looking picture-perfect. Heading to the private garden around the back, you’ll find a slice of verdant lawn and a covered hot tub for an evening soak. There’s alfresco dining out here on the patio too.

We love the wooden feature wall in the living room inside, which gives the place a beachy feel. After all, you’re just a fifteen-minute drive from the coast here where you’ll find secret coves and clifftop walks to fill your days. Spend cosy evenings in, with a selection of board games to keep the family entertained together. The kitchen has everything you need for the bustle of breakfast time to fuel you for walks in the countryside. 

Song of the Sparrowhawk

Heated Towel Rail

Desk

In the small village of Llanfarian, set in its own enclosed grounds in this detached cottage with a private hot tub, wood-burning fire, and gardens with a patio and outdoor dining area. The popular seaside town of Aberystwyth is less than three miles away where you can enjoy two beaches, a promenade with the oldest pier in Wales, a medieval castle, and a cliff railway with incredible views and the biggest camera obscura in the world. Take full advantage of direct access to the Ystwyth bike trail from the cottage – which links Aberystwyth to Tregaron in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. 

After a busy morning of exploring and sightseeing, we would love to enjoy Welsh cakes from the welcome basket alfresco in the garden. Then, after dinner, unwind in the hot tub with the bottle of prosecco, before cwtching up on the sofa in front of the wood-burning fire.

The Mermaid's Myth

Bike Shed

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

Fenced Garden

Surrounded by peaceful countryside, just a short drive from the coast, this stone cottage is the type of hideout you’ll want to return to again and again. Inside, the living space with rustic features and stylish velvet sofas is made for hunkering down. Begin slow mornings curled up on the armchair with a good book before putting together a tasty breakfast in the modern kitchen. If the sun’s shining, take your plates out to the garden and dine beneath the pergola. 

When you’re ready to become acquainted with your surroundings, pull on your hiking books and take the twenty-six-minute walk into Rhydypennau for a cup of coffee and slice of cake at the local cafe. Or why not embark on the ten-minute drive to Borth for its 3 miles of golden sand and critter-filled rock pools. Spend evenings in Aberystwyth, a fifteen-minute car ride away, dining on fresh seafood in a revered restaurant. Return to your abode at twilight for a glass of bubbles in the private hot tub and a restful sleep in the sumptuous beds.

Sleeping on Cardigan Bay, this contemporary cottage lies just three miles away from the coastal town of Aberystwyth. Here, the wonderful Vale of Rheidol Railway and Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum await. Closer to home, your quaint village of Llanfarian leads you directly onto the twenty-mile Ystwyth Trail – filled with scenic beauty at the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. 

From the moment you arrive, this cosy home will welcome you in with its log burner and bright living space. Beneath these sloped ceilings, why don't you treat yourself to breakfast in bed? If you need to check your emails in the morning, turn on your laptop at this bedroom desk. Following your afternoon adventure, take a sneaky snooze in the snug. Then, we think you'll want to dine alfresco on this patio, but be sure to pop open the complimentary Prosecco and jump in your hot tub at sunset. After dark, snuggle up in front of this smart TV and watch a family-favourite film.

A Time of Innocence

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

Set in Gwbert, this home has uninterrupted views over Cardigan Bay, positioned at the mouth of the River Teifi. It's an area that's famous for its sparkling blue seas and dolphin-watching – you may even spot a pod from the kitchen window. Inside, it's open, bright and tastefully decorated with a mix of antique and quirky furnishings. Two of the bedrooms have dreamy sea views, and there's a magazine-worthy glass-fronted porch off the living room where you can sit with a cup of coffee and watch the morning settle over the ocean, following the line of the front garden’s picturesque water feature all the way out to the sea. For active travellers, the nearby activities are endless – you'll find golf courses, stunning beaches within walking distance, shore fishing, pony trekking and a host of cycling paths. The Ceredigion section of the All Wales Coastal Path can be joined with just a five-minute walk from home, and the area is home to a choice of local boat tour operators, should you fancy a closer look at the bay’s famous dolphins.

If you're seeking a tranquil and indulgent stay by the sea, look no further than this splendid home on the Pembrokeshire Coast. Perched above the dunes overlooking Newport Bay, this home boasts a secluded location with breathtaking views to boot. Here, you're a seven-minute stroll from the dog-friendly beach of Newport Sands, while the eighteen-hole Newport Links Golf Course is practically on your doorstep – three minutes away on foot, to be exact.

With its generous living spaces and chic design aesthetic, this home beckons you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. We love the majestic wood-burning stove, roosted in the glass-walled sitting room. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are dressed to the nines with Egyptian cotton linen and locally sourced Melin Tregwyn wool, while offering scenic snapshots of the coast. After a restful night's slumber, we can't think of a better way to start the day than with a generous helping of crisp, seaside air. Spend mornings roosted on the balcony, cradling a cup of coffee and admiring panoramic views of the bay, before slipping out for a bracing walk on the beach.

After a busy day exploring the coast, gather around the large dining table for a delicious feast, prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen or, if you wish, by a private chef. In the summertime, enjoy barbecued cookouts on the outdoor dining deck and huddle around the fire pit to roast marshmallows at sunset.

Tucked away in a valley at the heart of the Black Mountains, this sprawling home is a dreamy countryside escape. The home is split between an old farmhouse, a cottage, and a studio-style barn, making it a marvellous choice for group getaways. It’s in a stunning location and offers absolute peace and quiet, as well as privacy. If you’re looking to go off-grid and surround yourself with nature, you’ll love this home. 

The farmhouse is as traditional as they come, with wood beams and a roaring fireplace. In the mornings, cook hearty breakfasts on the AGA while enjoying the outstanding views of the valley from the kitchen window. From almost every angle here, the views captivate. 

Perhaps you’ll lace up your boots and head out on a nature walk. There’s an acre of woodland on the 40-acre farm, as well as a stretch of river for you to paddle in. There’s direct access to the Brecon Beacons National Park from the back of the farmhouse, so you won’t run out of hiking or cycling routes. 

When you return after a day exploring the Great Outdoors, you’ll be glad of the mountain spring water hot tub. Fire it up and soak your aching muscles, then spend the rest of the evening playing board games in front of the fire. 

The nearest pub is a fifteen-minute drive, and the cafes and bookshops of Hay-on-Wye are twenty-three minutes away. It may feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, but you can grab a pint or a slice of cake easily enough. Perfection.

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

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.

When you decide to venture outside, you’ll find Narberth Castle a ten-minute walk away, while Amroth and Telpyn Beach are just under fifteen minutes away by car. Elsewhere, the stunning harbour town of Tenby is a twenty-minute drive, where its 13th-century walls and stretches of sandy shoreline wait to be explored. 


Beudy Bright

Nestled into a square in the charming village of Tremadog, just a ten-minute walk from Porthmadog, this Grade II listed building makes for the perfect North Wales getaway. With Snowdonia National Park and its endless quaint towns, beaches, hiking trails, and historical sights on your doorstep, this cottage is a wonderful choice whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure. 

This home is one that lends itself to any occasion. Rich colours, exposed brick, and traditional touches make the living room cosy and inviting – you’ll love settling into the snug armchairs in the morning, with the light piercing through the windows, while the warming log-burning fire cuts through the early cold. Your kitchen is just as cosy and comforting, but it’s also practical. It’s kitted out with top-notch appliances that make home-cooked meals a breeze, while the dining room invites family and friends to settle in for light-hearted evenings of good food, games, drinks, and conversation. 

French doors lead you out to the charming patio, which is particularly lovely in the warmer months. And while even summer can’t promise warm weather in Wales, the hot tub is sure to warm you up. You’ll love kicking off your walking boots, jumping into the bubbly tub, and sipping on a few wines after a day of exploring Snowdonia National Park. 

Hills of Bell Heather

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.

With views across the Wye Valley, it's set on five acres of pristine land and has nine bedrooms for you to choose between – either in the beautifully restored and extended 17th-Century farmhouse or the stunning new guest annexe. 

Lovers of interior design will have a field day here. It's been impeccably put together by its owner Kari, a professional designer, with nods to traditional country chic, contemporary cool and even Antipodean modern rustic – Kari grew up in Australia. The main house having been extended, the old stable unit was transformed into an architect-designed annexe with a series of split-level suites that wouldn't look out of place in a boutique hotel in Shoreditch.

The huge, 40ft kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need to cook for your group, with an incredible four ovens, five hobs and two dishwashers, or you can take the hard work out of it by hiring a private chef.

Just a few miles from the book town of Hay-on-Wye, it's easy to explore the Welsh border from here, and hiking, cycling and canoeing are all popular local attractions. And if you fancy an action-packed break, your host can put together a unique itinerary for your group. You're bound to make memories that last a lifetime.    

The Memory Jar

Multiple Sets of Keys

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

Get off the beaten track at this remote retreat set deep within the Herefordshire countryside, close to the Welsh border. Originally the farm's dairy, it's been lovingly converted from a derelict outbuilding to stylish home from home in just a few short years.

Inside, discover a cute contemporary farmhouse style, with beautiful natural stone flooring, a sleek kitchen and an inviting seating area placed within warming distance of the wood burner.

Step through to the bedroom, where you'll find a comfortable bed with a skylight above, perfect for stargazing, and an elegant freestanding bathtub for indulgent evening pampering sessions.

The star of the show has got to be the wood-fired hot tub, with views across to the Monnow Valley. Spend your days hiking through the hills with your dogs, before hosing them down at the outside tap and jumping into the warm water – we can't help but feel that the dog's getting the raw end of the deal here.

Speaking of walks, there are plenty of public footpaths that pass across the farm, with your hosts able to provide OS maps and walking books should you need them. If you want to venture further afield, why not head up the Skirrid, Sugar Loaf and Black Mountains – all viewable from the garden.


Cider House Rules

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.

Bike House

This whitewashed converted farmhouse is a wonderful choice for welcoming families or groups of friends to enjoy the beauty of the Llyn Peninsula. Surrounded by vast greenery and steps away from the coast, it's a fairytale getaway come to life.

This home might be a traditional farmhouse from the outside, but the interior is sleek, contemporary, and comfortable. Here, you can shed the daily grind and embrace a slower pace of life, while still keeping ahold of modern comforts. Lovely accents of green brighten up the home, which is cloaked in soothing shades of grey. But that's not to say it isn't without its traditional charm. The original stone fireplace stands in front of centre of the dining room, while the warmth of the wood burner permeates the home. And perhaps most importantly, the country house-style kitchen provides the perfect social space, capturing what people love about country homes – making memories with family and friends.

You'd be hard-pressed to find somewhere as scenic and relaxing as the Llyn Peninsula. Walkers will revel in the famous Llyn Coastal Path, which leads you onto the lovely beaches of Porth Towyn and Porth Ysgaden. The area's Irish Sea stems off into emerald pools, backed by hills carpeted in lush grass and flowers – it's truly enchanting. The area is also teeming with quaint towns and villages, like Tudweiliog – just a twenty-minute stroll away.

There are options for all levels, from high peaks to gentle canalside strolls and everything in between. Despite the secluded location, plenty of pubs and restaurants, as well as a supermarket, within a ten-minute drive. After a hard day of hiking in the hills, why not treat yourself to a relaxing massage in the on-site treatment room.

The Gatekeeper

Once the former shooting residence of the Earl of Marlborough, this charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Snowdonia carefully stitches together history and contemporary design. Original slate floors and a huge inglenook fireplace contrast against modern additions such as the sleek roll-top bath and luxurious hot tub. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where your clan will spend time eating, drinking and playing card games if it tips it down outside. Light the wood-burning stove to keep the chill at bay or warm up with a brisk walk to the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog – you’ll get there in under an hour if you go at a decent pace. Spend sunny afternoons in the beer garden of the Pengwern pub, just a minute’s walk up the road, or jump in the car and take the ten-minute drive to the trout-filled Llyn Trawsfynydd. Hire a fishing rod or stroll around the water’s edge, stopping for a well-deserved cup of tea in the café along the way.

Nestled in the Pembrokeshire countryside, this sweet home will transport your away from everyday life. Surrounded by rolling pastures and organic farmland, it's a truly tranquil place to press pause and relax. 

The rustic wooden exterior gives way to a cosy living space that will instantly make you feel at home On chilly days, you can curl up next to the fireplace with a good movie, or an excellent book for a great night in. The kitchen is perfect for cooking up a delicious meal, made with fresh, local ingredients. And, if the weather allows, you can listen to birdsong as you eat outside in the glorious private garden. 

The coast is only ten minutes away – the dunes at Poppit Sands are a great place to paddle and picnic. Walkers can join the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, for a hike with stunning sea views. And, the charming market town of Cardigan is only twelve minutes away by car, where you can visit independent boutiques and dine on local seafood. 

Cabin Culture

Couples, rejoice – this cosy cottage is the ideal romantic retreat. Nestled in the dramatic landscape of the Welsh countryside, the peaceful location makes for a wonderfully idyllic getaway. Throw in a bubbling hot tub and a sleek interior and you’re onto a winner.

We love how the tall, vaulted ceilings and exposed stone brick walls blend with the home’s contemporary touches. It’s a great mix of traditional countryside charm with mod-cons aplenty – you can whip up dinner in the high-spec kitchen, choose a film to watch on Netflix, before getting snug in front of the crackling fire. 

If you’re not recuperating from the day’s hike on the sofa, we imagine you’ll be sinking into the warming hot tub with a glass of bubbly. With a view of the sprawling fields, it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset. 

There are plenty of countryside walks from your front door, as well as beautiful beaches to explore. But if you want a taste of a traditional Welsh town, head to Aberystwyth to explore its colourful promenade, seafront restaurants, and more – it’s just a ten-minute drive away.

Countryside Hideaway

This charming home is the perfect spot for a family getaway to Wales. With plenty of seating space available for hours of socialising and watching movies together, as well as a brilliant games room for those who love a challenge. The abundance of windows allows a wonderful amount of natural daylight to pour into every corner, making it easy to find a spot to relax as you read a book. Whip up a freshly baked Victoria sponge in the bright kitchen, or cook up a storm with a delicious home-cooked meal for the whole family to enjoy together. 

Tuck into tasty plates of food together at the large dining table by the window, followed by a dip in the outdoor hot tub, accompanied by a bottle of wine. Evenings can be spent in the amazing games room, fitted with a mini-bar for the adults. Challenge your loved ones to a game of billiards or simply relax at the bar with a champagne flute to round the day off.

It isn't just the home that's incredibly dreamy, with the destination being a cosy village called Llanfarian. The lovely Ystwyth Trail is close by for an afternoon walk under the sun. Take a drive to the coastal town of Aberystwyth where you can dine the day away at a wide variety of eateries and cafes, followed by a trip to the beach and promenade.

Dreaming Of The Promenade

Home Cinema Setup

The village of Tresaith on the Ceredigion coastline is relatively humble, but you can find some truly spectacular homes here – this three-storey gem is among them.

It's definitely an address that has been constructed with the surrounding scenery in mind, with sea views to be admired from the balconies and out through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Even to the rear of the house that isn't so blessed with coastal vistas, there's a peaceful terrace surrounded by flower beds and it's more than possible to enjoy alfresco feasts in this space, thanks to the dining table, pizza oven and barbecue.

Should the weather ever be a little uninspiring, there's plenty to keep guests entertained inside. In the games room alone, you'll find tables for pool and table tennis, as well as a darts board and piano. Once you've exhausted these, the cinema room complete with leather seats and surround sound is the ideal place to watch a movie or some live sports. It's just as easy to escape to the Jacuzzi bathtub and treat yourself to an unrushed soak.

You'll eventually want to head to the seaside at some point and Tresaith Beach is less than ten minutes' away on foot. It's easy to arrange watersport activities here and – if you're lucky – spot dolphins. There's also a waterfall at the far end of the sand, as well.
