Our holiday cottages in Wales aren’t just places to rest after mountain hikes or beach walks. Here, they’re part of the experience. We choose them for their individuality and the hard work their owners have poured into making them truly special. 

Whether it’s a converted stone barn on the edge of Snowdonia or a seaside hideaway along the Pembrokeshire coast, our collection brings you closer to the wild beauty and rich culture of Wales. Many of our owners are passionate locals who bake the Welsh cakes in the welcome hamper, manage the land and know every path and viewpoint by heart. 

From hiking the Brecon Beacons to dolphin spotting off Cardigan Bay, Wales is full of ancient wonders, vibrant communities and nature that still feels wild and untouched. Our places help you feel part of it all, not just passing through.
