Watch the sailing boats drift along the harbour from the roof terrace of this stylish beach retreat. One-bedroom Moryn sits at the edge of the beach in the busy fishing village of Porthdinllaen. Inside, large picture windows overlook the sea and across to the mountainous backdrop of Snowdonia.
Spend a day or two lazing on the sandy beach just outside your door. For walks along the Llyn Peninsula hop onto the Porthdinllaen walk which starts at the Morfa Nefyn car park.
For more challenging hikes and mountain scenery, head to Snowdonia. A 40 minute drive will lead you to the fringes of the National Park. Hike to Dinas Emrys, an Iron Age hill-fort and legendary birthplace to Wales' red dragon. Trek around the shores of Cwm Idwal's glaciated lake or tackle the mighty peak of Snowdon.
Self-catering cottage holidays in the UK and Ireland can still be a green option. You can have the comforts of home and the flexibility to do what you want; when you want - without the hassles of air travel!
