Rural & Countryside Holiday Lets in Wales
Away from the coast, Wales opens out into a landscape of mountains, farmland and quiet valleys. Rural and countryside holiday lets are often chosen for space, scenery and a slower pace, particularly by people who plan to spend much of their time outdoors.
Staying inland offers a very different experience to coastal locations. If you’re weighing up the two, our guide to where to stay in Wales compares regions by setting, accessibility and atmosphere. For a broader overview of accommodation options, see our main guide to holiday lets in Wales.
