The Best Airbnbs in Wales for an Unforgettable Getaway

In the Land of Song, ‘mush’ is a term of endearment; rugby is more of a culture than a sport; and there are more castles per square mile than anywhere else in the world – there is so much to explore beyond the Three Peaks. Shaped by sea-salt breezes and inland snowfall, Wales boasts coastal paths leading to country hikes and mountain summits overlooking sandy beaches. The wild, windswept landscape inspires poets, making it no surprise that the great outdoors is a source of pride for locals.

Consequently, many of the country’s loveliest homesteads are located near National Parks and well-mapped nature routes. Visitors are often welcomed with homemade Welsh cakes and the warmth of local hospitality. Here are some of the most wonderful Airbnbs in Wales that promise an enchanting adventure.
