Luxury self-catering accommodation in Wales
Book a romantic farmhouse in Wales and enjoy rugged coastline to the west, soaring mountains in the north, and plenty of verdant landscape all around.
From a tiny bungalow by the sea to a luxury self-catering farmhouse in the mountains, holiday rentals in Wales match the varied locations of its stunning environment. Book a romantic cottage in the Brecon Beacons for serious walking weekends with routes to suit all abilities, and the views are breathtaking. Coastline maps a rough edge around three sides of Wales, with classic donkey ride charm to be had in northern Llandudno; rent a little townhouse and take your bucket and spade to the sands every day.
Several inland locations make great day-trips, like medieval Ruthin with its pretty streets and baronial castle. Perched above an estuary is Conwy's castle, another historic beauty. Film buffs might remember the famous village of Portmeirion from the opening sequence of 1960s series The Prisoner; with tours available in town. Hikers heading to Snowdonia should pack good provisions and a head for heights; a gorgeous cottage in the foothills will make a peaceful, comfortable place to rest after a full day of exploring.
