With the region around a 2 hour drive from much of the
North West and only a 3 hour train ride from London; why not kick
back and let the train take the strain for a weekend or short break
away? You won't regret it! Here we reveal our top 4 reasons to
getaway for a winter break in North Wales this January,
February and March!
Stunning scenery:
whether it be mountain backdrop, rolling countryside, coastal coves
or beautiful beaches - North Wales has it all!
With North Wales recently voted the 4th best region in the world to
visit in 2017, there's never been a better time to book a weekend
break here! Looking to explore the stunning scenery of the region
on foot, two wheels, or touring by car? We guarantee your breath
will be taken away by the beauty of North Wales. Snow-topped peaks,
gorgeous golden beaches that stretch for miles and plenty of
panoramic vistas - just don't forget your camera! With an array of
walks across the region, from hiking in Snowdonia, to strolling the
miles of coastal path, there's something for every type of walker
when it comes to exploring the area. Escape the humdrum after
Christmas and get back to nature in this spectacular part of the
UK! Excitingly, Snowdonia National Park has been designated a
'dark-sky reserve' thanks to its lack of light pollution - not many
places have been given this status - and makes for a spectacular
stargazing setting. Telescopes at the ready!
Get active: North Wales
can be your gym with plenty of walks to suit all fitness levels,
brilliant bike trails and watersports galore - getting fit after
Christmas has never been so easy!
So, Christmas has been and gone, and after maybe too
many mince pies you're thinking about kickstarting your New Year's
fitness resolution? Well we think that North Wales is the place to
do just that! Pop on some sturdy shoes, breathe in the Welsh air
and get out and about in the great outdoors; the best bit...it's
absolutely free! Who wants to stare at the digital display on a
treadmill when instead you could be bounding along one of our
stunning coastal paths? Why bother with a rowing machine when there
are beautiful freshwater lakes and parts of the coastline that are
perfect for kayaking? Sack off your spin class and head out on a
real bike; there are cycle routes to suit every ability. Improve
your core by swapping your weights for a paddleboard and wetsuit
and take to the water. There really is something for everyone here
in North Wales!
Historic sites: with castles aplenty, standing
stones and burial mounds too, North Wales is the perfect place to
delve into the past.
For history buffs we've got castles such as Caernarfon,
Beaumaris, Harlech and Conwy, or if ruins aren't your thing,
there's a 19th century 'Castle' called Bodelwyddan that's well
worth a visit. Along with Edward I's infamous 'Iron Ring' of
castles, the region is also home to several standing stones and
prehistoric sites such as Barclodiad y Gawres. Thanks to Cadw we
can share with you all of the historic sites across Anglesey,
Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula using their interactive map. Take a look and get planning your 2017
history tour! Don't forget, for those passionate about heritage if
you're a Cadw member, when booking a stay in our Harlech apartments you get 10% off!
Our cottages: Whether you want to be by the
sea, settled in the Snowdonia National Park, finding adventure on
Anglesey or lounging on the Lleyn Peninsula after a day of
exploring - we have the perfect cottage for you!
Why not plan a weekend or short break right here in North Wales?
With cottages ideal for large groups you can gather your friends
together for a getaway; plan in family time and take the brood
away, or treat that special someone to a holiday for just the two
of you! Looking for luxury, something cosy or even an eco stay - we
have it covered. We even have a number of cottages with hot tubs so
you could spend an evening under the stars soaking away your
stresses. Quality time in North Wales will truly recharge your
batteries. Just imagine it...all your adventures finished off with

exploring, historic sightseeing or outdoor pursuits. If after all
that you can't be bothered to cook, then don't worry - we have that
covered too! 'Cottage Food' means you can have delicious home
