For Rugged Coasts and Spectacular Mountains Choose from the Finest Welsh Country Cottages

Retreat to a Welsh Country Cottage to discover a proud country, with rich heritage and strong culture. On holiday in Wales you're never far from mountain or sea, and often more likely to see rare wildlife than you are people. It's easy to unwind amid the country's majestic landscapes. Choose an idyllic farmhouse or cliff-top cottage for the perfect escape to the wonderful welsh countryside.

Welsh Country Cottages with Nature on the Doorstep

Nature lovers are spoilt for choice in Wales. Rent a cottage here and within easy reach you'll find two staggeringly beautiful national parks and 750 miles of unique coastline. In North Wales, among the dark craggy heights of Snowdonia National Park, your cottage holiday brings you close to 100 lakes, 90 towering peaks, moors and wetlands that are home to rare species of rainbow beetle and lily.

Or if you prefer expansive coastlines, choose a short break or long stay in Pembrokeshire, the UK's only coastal National Park. From cottages here you can enjoy sandy beaches, imposing cliffs, wooded estuaries and wild inland hills. Regular visitors to its shores include dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks, Atlantic grey seals and leatherback turtles. Don't overlook Anglesey's unique island habitat - especially its famous Puffin Island - and the softer landscape of rolling hills to be found around Cardigan Bay and Mid-Wales. Wherever you spend your welsh adventure, we know the views will be sublime.

Cottages with Character for Holidays Steeped in History

Wales is a country rightly proud of its heritage and our range of Welsh cottages is brimming with old-world charm, to give any holiday a sense of the timeless. For those who can drag themselves away from the comfort of their cottage, history has left countless intriguing destinations to explore. Wales has been conquered by Celts, Romans, Saxons and Vikings, and your whole holiday could be spent exploring the 641 castles they left behind.

No welsh cottage holiday would be complete without a journey on one of its 14 historic scenic railways - Snowdon, Fairborne, Gwili and Langollen, to name but a few. Built to transport slate during the time of the Industrial Revolution, they now make a great day out for all the family, with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. While below ground you'll find over 3,500 years of mining history to explore in the caverns of 12 underground mining heritage centres, for a journey into the very heart of Wales' industrial and geological past.

From Self Catering to Cordon Bleu - Find Your Flavour at Any Time of Year

Food is taken very seriously in Wales, and you'll find all manner of eateries and local delicacies to entertain your taste buds. In even the humblest pubs you'll find the freshest local seafood - at Aberaeron the lobster travels just 108 metres from the sea, to the kitchen, to your plate! But don't let the wide array of gastro pubs, cliff-top cafes; a la cart restaurants and bustling bistros stop you from making the most of your cottage's great self-catering facilities!

Wales is home to over 40 farmers markets, with emphasis on local and organic produce. From welsh oysters and lamb, to local cheeses such as Caerphilly, you'll find plenty of mouth-watering treats to bring out your inner gourmet. In June, the Hay Food Festival brings an al fresco market place bustling with welsh flavour. Real foodies can spend their holiday visiting producers such as Llanerch Vineyard, home to the award-winning Cariad Wines, or Langloffan Farm Cheese and Caws Cenarth to see cheese-making in action.

Relaxation and Recreation within Easy Reach of Your Accommodation

With 43 unspoilt blue-flag beaches, the wide sandy expanses of welsh coast make for the perfect seaside holiday. Cottages near Cardigan Bay and Caernarfon Bay are idyllic beach retreats, while Oxwich Bay has been voted most beautiful in the UK. On Anglesey, the beaches play host to more active pastimes, such as scuba diving and canoeing, but are equally beautiful.

Our Welsh Country Cottages open the door to no end of family fun, and any holiday here can be filled with thrills. The adventurous can experience the adrenaline rush of Megafobia, at Oakwood Theme Park in Pembrokeshire, or come face to face with lions and snow leopards at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay. Youngsters love to feed the lambs at Foel Farm Park on Anglesey, or to take the Jungle Boat Adventure at Greenwood Forest Park near Caernarfon. The countryside in Wales offers cycling, walking, climbing and horse-riding; all in splendid scenery. Our charming range of cottages puts it all on your doorstep.
