Gorgeous Remote Getaways In Wales UK

With a world-renowned coastline, pristine lakes and wind-swept green hills and mountains, Wales is the perfect place for remote and cosy getaways in nature. Check out these stunning places to stay across the country, from Pengenffordd to Cemaes Bay.

1. Bwncath Cabin

Cabin

This secluded cabin in a meadow has a private deck, a wood burner and a fire pit, so there’s no way you’ll be too cold during your stay. Sleeping four, the cabin is not far from Cardiff, but you’ll certainly feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, with nature walks in the surrounding Vale of Glamorgan to enjoy.

2. Fairy House

Cabin

Fans of Lord of the Rings will feel right at home in this abode reminiscent of a hobbit hole. Burrowed in a grassy hill just like the abode of Bilbo Baggins, 15 minutes from Hay-on-Wye and equipped with a wood-fired cooker, this home in Pengenffordd is small but charming and sleeps two.

3. Tywyn Cottage

Cottages

You can’t really get more remote than an island, and this cottage near the village of Cemaes Bay on picturesque Anglesey (off the mainland’s northwest coast) is just perfect. There’s a beach on one side, and farmland on the Anglesey Coastal Path is nearby. Local wildlife includes seals, peregrine falcons and choughs, and views of Snowdonia aren’t far away.

5. The Flying Scotsman

Cabin

This comfortable shepherd’s hut is nestled in woodland in Crai Valley, in an area of exceptionally low light pollution. It sleeps four and has a hideaway and a treehouse for the kids. There are also a stream, a footpath to a pub 2.5mi (4km) away (you don’t want to be so remote that you can’t have a pub dinner now, do you?) and wonderful views.

6. Y Cartws

Cottages

This gorgeous cottage sleeps two and is hidden away in a valley in 16 acres (6.5ha) of private farmland with woodland, gardens and orchards all to yourself, plus direct access to the beach to leave you feeling perfectly remote from city stress. The wildlife you’re likely to see is another bonus, with woodpeckers, squirrels, foxes, badgers, owls and, if you go the short way to the coast, dolphins and seals in the vicinity.
