Wales

A newly refurbished, modernist farmhouse in Pen-y-Clip is set on the hillside overlooking the Menai Strait with views across to the Snowdonia Mountain Range.  Wales - a country often overlooked as a holiday destination for holiday makers offers a staggering amount. It is a truly beautiful place, and not just the rugged coastlines, sheer mountains and lush valleys, but the culture, tranquillity and pace of life too.

Pen y Clip is perfectly placed as a base for exploring not only Menai Bridge, but the whole region: from the Snowdonia National Park to Anglesey's great variety of beaches and those of the Llyn Peninsula. Being less than five minutes off the main A55 expressway Pen y Clip is easily accessible, but feels a world away from the stresses of everyday life.  What follows is just a taste of what Pen y Clip has to offer.

Snowdonia is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Snowdonia National Park is known as one of the most beautiful in Britain, and includes both mountains and coastline. It is also an area famed for the number and nature of outdoor activities on offer. A Welsh holiday cottage in Snowdonia will certainly not allow you simply to sit and enjoy the view!

St-Ives

From Stunning Contemporary family holiday homes, semi-detached or detached beach houses, to newly refurbished, self catering holiday homes, secluded holiday bungalows and luxury high specification holiday Apartments or holiday cottages in Cornwall, or Kernow as it is known in Cornish, are blessed with striking wild terrain, both across it’s wild moorland and its varied, dramatic coastline littered with charming fishing and mining villages. Many of the self catering holiday cottages in Cornwall or self catering holidays are in cozy traditional stone houses, with open fire places and views over the coast. Cornwall has a rich heritage of vibrant folk music, and many unusual traditions remain, like the Furry Dance and Mummers Plays. Also, Cornwall’s native sports of hurling and Cornish wrestling are great spectator sports, and can be seen at St Ives or St Columb Major.

One of Cornwall’s best assets is the coast. There are many holiday cottages in Cornwall in easy access of the sea and beaches, which can become crowded in summer, although a little exploring will undoubtedly land you in a tiny, deserted cove beach. The sailing and surfing here are notable, and rock climbing on coastal cliffs is becoming a popular activity.

Devon

From stunning Contemporary Town houses in Dartmouth, to spacious Lutyens style farmhouses, cottages and other self catering accommodation, with sweeping southerly views across Devon, one of England’s larger counties, is a blissful rural area with timeless charm and a relaxed laidback atmosphere. Devon has two coasts, huge granite tors, miles of unspoilt forests, majestic rivers and idyllic small communities.

Dartmouth sits in the banks of the mouth of the River Dart in South Devon.  With twisting streets, cobbled market squares and a range of boutique shops and galleries, the charm of Dartmouth is undeniable, and with so much to see and do, self catering Dartmouth cottages are the perfect solution for a family holiday by the sea.

Devon has an array of rustic to luxury holiday cottages, farmhouses and other holiday self catering accommodation.  Warfleet Creek is a small triangular tidal inlet in the west side of the River Dart estuary in England. It is near Dartmouth, Devon. It has steep rocky sides. At low tide there is a stony beach with some small rockpools.  The creek was home to Dartmouth Pottery, a local landmark building which has had many uses over 400 years, now converted to residential and holiday apartments.  Dartmouth is a great town to walk and you don't have to walk far to see some lovely architecture. Many houses and cottages in the town have views of the river and you'll find this one on the left as you take a stroll out to Warfleet Creek.

Start Bay lines the Eastern Coast of the South Hams.  Start Bay benefits from a magnificent coastline of high, sweeping clifts, interspaced with long beaches and ancient fishing villages now awash with colour and serving the needs of a modern society, with cafes, shops and old-fashioned country pubs. The area is popular with families, as it is within easy reach of both Kingsbridge and Dartmouth but offers many beaches, though these are mostly of coarse sand.
