Snowdonia is an immense area of north west Wales and you’d forgiven for thinking you’d wandered into Middle Earth or Westeros; huge rocky mountains, wild woodlands, deep glacial lakes, remote farmsteads and fast-running rivers make up this stunning national park – not to mention the incredible wildlife. Although there’s a huge focus on The Great Outdoors with hiking, climbing, horse riding, canoeing, caving just a few things on the menu, there’s lots of other things to do too. From exploring the pretty seaside and country villages (stopping off for a traditional pub lunch) to long, picturesque train rides up mountains and through the countryside, there’s something to suit everyone. And with our carefully selected collection of luxury self catering cottages, you’ll have somewhere perfect to come home to – bliss!

North Wales is a hidden gem when it comes to foodies. Whether it’s pub grub, cosy cafes or fine dining you’ll have plenty of choice, whilst when you want to cook in your luxury self-catering cottage the incredible choice of local produce will fill culinary types with glee. From saltmarsh lamb and Welsh Black beef to artisan farmhouse cheeses and tasty bakery goodies, there’s plenty to choose from – which is an excellent job too, for after all that exploring and adventuring you’ll have worked up a good appetite! 

From abseiling to zip-wiring, if you’re mad for outdoor adventuring you’ll not find a better place to find adrenaline-pumping fun. With mountains, caves, lakes and coast to contend with, there’s something for everyone, from little ones to grown-ups. If you’re after something a little more sedate, fishing and golf are plentiful, whist some of the most picturesque train rides can be taken through the astonishing countryside. For those who like to partake in a spot of retail therapy, Snowdonia is home to many craftspeople and unique shops and designers; expect to find one-of-a-kind products – a real escape from the usual High Street fare.  Wildlife lovers will just adore exploring the various sanctuaries, estuaries, woodland and mountain regions in search of the flora and fauna that live there.
