Coastal Cottages in Wales
With more than 1,000 miles of coastline, Wales is a fantastic choice for a seaside holiday. From the dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches of Pembrokeshire to the Gower Peninsula, Cardigan Bay, the Llyn Peninsula and Anglesey, there is a huge variety of coastal scenery to explore.
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is particularly popular for its beaches, coastal paths, wildlife and watersports. West Wales is also home to quiet coves, traditional seaside villages and spectacular coastal scenery, making it ideal for both active holidays and peaceful escapes.
Some Premier Cottages also offer sea views or are within easy reach of beaches and coastal paths, so you can choose the setting that best suits your holiday.
Eryri (Snowdonia) and North Wales
Eryri National Park is one of Wales's most spectacular destinations, with rugged mountains, glacial lakes, waterfalls, forests and deep valleys.
It's an obvious choice for walkers, climbers and outdoor enthusiasts, with Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) providing the country's best-known mountain challenge. But you don't have to climb a mountain to enjoy Eryri: scenic drives, lakes, forests, waterfalls and historic villages provide plenty to explore at a slower pace.
North Wales also includes the Llyn Peninsula and Anglesey, where mountains meet the sea and you'll find a wonderful combination of beaches, coastal walks and countryside.
A luxury cottage provides an ideal base for exploring the region, whether you're planning an active adventure or simply want to enjoy some of Wales's most spectacular scenery.

Pembrokeshire and West Wales
Pembrokeshire is one of Wales's most popular holiday destinations, combining spectacular coastal scenery with sandy beaches, wildlife and historic towns and villages.
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park follows much of the county's coastline, making the area particularly attractive to walkers and anyone who enjoys being beside the sea. The region is also ideal for surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding and wildlife watching.
Further north, Cardigan Bay and the coast around Ceredigion offer beautiful beaches, coastal paths and opportunities to spot marine wildlife.
For families, Pembrokeshire is particularly appealing thanks to its beaches, outdoor attractions and wide range of activities.
Bannau Brycheiniog and Mid Wales
Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) offers a very different Welsh landscape, with mountains, waterfalls, reservoirs, valleys and wide open spaces. It's a wonderful destination for walking, cycling, stargazing and exploring the countryside.
Further north, Mid Wales becomes a landscape of rolling hills, wooded valleys, rivers and small market towns. The Elan Valley, around Rhayader, is particularly popular for outdoor adventures and spectacular scenery.
For those looking for peace and space away from the busier holiday destinations, Mid Wales can be an excellent choice for a relaxing cottage break.
Dog-Friendly Cottages in Wales
Wales is a fantastic destination for a dog-friendly holiday, with mountains, forests, beaches and miles of walking routes to explore.
A number of Premier Cottages across Wales welcome dogs, allowing you to enjoy a self-catering holiday without leaving your four-legged companion at home.
Some properties go further and offer a particularly welcoming experience for dogs. Our Dog-Friendly collection distinguishes between Dogs Accepted and Dogs Welcome properties, with Dogs Welcome cottages providing additional touches such as dog towels, throws and welcome items.
Please check each individual property listing for its specific dog policy, facilities and any applicable charges.
