Located in the southwestern part of Great Britain, Wales is a land highly influenced by Celtic culture and traditions, where you can still explore ancient ruins. Though Wales is generally lauded for its quaint-looking pit villages, male voice choirs, resplendent green landscapes decked out with rolling mountains, and rugged coastlines, there are many aspects of Wales that are yet to be explored. From its old-fashioned market towns to its vibrant wildlife, this place is a paradise for avid travelers. There are several attractions to see such as Snowdonia National Park, splendid lakes, off-beaten hiking trails, and several glacial landforms. And to perk it off, love birds can find a boatload of secluded coves and beautiful bays to retreat. Even families can find private settings to spend some quality time with loved ones. Scroll down for some of the best holiday cottages with sea views in Wales.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to sea views.
