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.

About Snowdonia
Mountains, lakes, wooded valleys and picture-postcard villages. We’re not in the Alps – this is Wales, and it’s as rugged and just about as exhilarating as you want it to be. Snowdonia National Park is a hiker’s paradise and home to Wales’ biggest lake and highest mountain. After you’ve tackled Snowdon (we won’t tell if you take the little train), there are countless other peaks and trails to explore, many...
