Tri-A-Hanner is the ultimate couples retreat for those after sand, sea and (hopefully) sun. Located in the unique and beautiful fishing village of Porthdinliaen on the Llyn Peninsula, this cottage will be a favourite amongst those who want to wake up to the sound of the sea, as it is set back just a few metres from the beach, behind a property.
Spend a day or two lazing on the secluded white sands just outside your door, listening to the chime of the fishermen as they bring in the daily catch. 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 peek 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!
