Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Llanllwni (3.9mls), Wales

Stunning mountainside property with panoramic views and space for groups of friends or families. Sitting within a 250-acre farm in the Llanllwni mountain, guests are well-served with magnificent walking trails, hiking pursuits and true rural escapism. Drive up the farm track for 1.5 miles and soak up the incredible views before heading inside the house for mugs of tea and a few dunks of the good biscuits.

An open-plan/diner is the hub of the home, providing a squishy leather corner suite, a cosy wood burner and gorgeous views overlooking the Welsh summits. The cottage continues to brim with charm as you head into the galley kitchen, where you can whip up a storm or perch at the breakfast bar while your head chef does the honours. Enjoy toasting marshmallows in the enclosed garden before wrapping up in a blanket and admiring the magical constellations in this designated Dark Sky Reserve.

On the first floor, rest easy in one of the three bedrooms: a double with an en-suite shower room, a comfy double and a twin with two single beds. Spend leisurely mornings drinking in the glorious countryside vistas with your pooch running about the paddock. Explore the surrounding grounds, private woodlands and freshwater stream on sunny afternoons – perfect for those family picnics.

Since you’re located on top of the Llanllwni mountain, descend from the property down to the village of Llanllwni itself, which has a lovely family-friendly pub and a village shop for the essentials. Exercise enthusiasts will love the enchanting Brechfa Forest (4.5 miles), with its many mountain biking tracks and splendid walking trails.
