Are you already dreaming about your holiday in 2025? Staying at a holiday cottage in North Wales is an excellent choice.  From scenic views to cosy cottage vibes, start the New Year with something to look forward to! 


Staying in North Wales offers a way to experience the area's breathtaking natural beauty, rich heritage, and outdoor adventures, all on your doorstep. So, let’s dive into why choosing a holiday cottage in North Wales could be the best decision you make this year! 


Castles and Historical Sites


UNESCO World Heritage Castles

The UNESCO World Heritage Castles showcase some of the best preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. There are four Unesco castles within North Wales, including Caernarfon, Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech castle. When visiting these castles, you get immersed in the medieval history and rich cultural legacy of Wales.

These railways are a perfect way to explore the region. Some heritage railways include Ffestiniog Railway, Welsh Highland Railway, Snowdon Mountain Railway and Bala Lake Railway.

Outdoor Adventure  

North Wales is an outdoor adventure paradise with activities for all ages. Whether you’re an avid hiker or prefer sports on water, there is plenty of outdoor adventure to enjoy in North Wales. At Eryri / Snowdonia National Park, you can hike Mount Snowdon, go mountain biking at Coed y Brenin, or even climb peaks such as Tryfan.


Across North Wales, you can enjoy watersports such as white-water rafting and canoeing. If you’re searching for adventure on land, Zip World offers a range of fun-packed adventures, including the world's fastest zip line, an underground trampoline park at Bounce Below and Quarry Karts - There’s no shortage of excitement!


Unwind in a Peaceful Cottage Setting


Relax and Recharge

Holiday cottages are typically located in peaceful, scenic spots, giving you a chance to unwind and enjoy the local area, often surrounded by woodlands, charming  villages, private gardens and patios. 


We Would Love To Welcome You!

The Old Mill Holiday Cottages are perfectly located to offer the best of both worlds. Whilst nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Flintshire, we are also central to the most popular towns, cities and attractions locally, including historic Chester, bustling Liverpool and the Victorian charm of Llandudno, where you can enjoy a day at the seaside.


Eco-Friendly Additions

To help support steps towards a greener future, some holiday cottages are introducing environmentally friendly improvements to their accommodation - just like us! From adding EV Chargers on site, to ensuring we are up to date with local government changes, we are continuously working towards a greener future. If you’re choosing a staycation in North Wales, you are also contributing to the growth of sustainable travel.

Our holiday cottages give you the flexibility to plan your stay exactly how you want. Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat to relax and unwind for a few days, or searching for a base to explore local attractions? Our holiday cottages provide a well-appointed retreat, offering all the comforts of home, within a picturesque setting.
