Find a special place to stay in Wales

Why visit Wales? 

Mighty Wales packs a lot into a relatively small space. Nature lovers need weeks, rather than days, to experience all the delights on offer, from dolphin watching in Cardigan Bay to caving in the Brecon Beacons and fairytale waterfalls in Conwy Falls Forest Park. The capital, Cardiff, bursts with arts, culture and independent restaurants, Tenby oozes pastel-hued seaside charm, while picturesque Hay-on-Wye is a mecca for independent bookshops and home to the world-famous literary festival. You’ll discover plenty of Welsh myths and legends during your stay too, as you visit ancient castles, standing stones and steam railways that echo with history.

Where is the prettiest place to visit in Wales?

Wales abounds with dramatic natural beauty. You could spend

weeks exploring the gorgeous scenery but the highlights include the pristine lakes and majestic peaks of Snowdonia, the lush river landscape of the Wye valley and the sweeping Pembrokeshire coastline. For something totally out of the ordinary, visit the quirky, Riviera-inspired village of Portmeirion with its colour-washed buildings and acres of sub-tropical forest. 

Should I visit North Wales or South Wales?

If you’re looking for adventure, head north to the huge mountain landscape of Snowdonia and get the adrenaline pumping on mountain bike trails, white water rafting excursions and the fastest zipline in Europe. South Wales is the place to go for beautiful coastal scenery and sandy beaches that rival the Caribbean. Whichever direction you head in, you’ll find miles of walking routes through rolling green countryside. 

What is the best month to visit Wales? 

Wales is a year-round destination, with plenty to do whatever the weather. Visit in the Spring to see frolicking lambs and cycle the Mawddach Trail, watch the changing leaves in autumn on a walk by the Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal, and discover snowy mountains and Welsh castles in the winter. Summer is the time to explore wild Rhossili Bay and take in a festival or two.
