The very best places to stay in
There’s a wild, elemental magic to North Wales. A region shaped by sea, stone and story, where mountains tumble into mirror-like lakes and centuries-old castles guard the coastline. The adventurous allure of the rugged landscape calls all wayfarers and wanderers to lace up their boots and follow their sense of curiosity. From the raw drama of Snowdonia (Eryri) and the cliffs of Anglesey, to hidden beaches, market towns and wild islands, this is Wales at its most soul-stirring.
History, legend and the lilting sound of Welsh echoes through it all: medieval fortresses in Conwy and Caernarfon, pilgrim paths and poet-haunted hillsides, reminders that this has long been a land of resilience and reverie. Explore it deeper with our Kip tips for the region, below.
Our places to stay in North Wales include castle wings, country homes and off-grid cabins tucked into verdant valleys where only sheep and skylarks share the view. Whether you’re here for mountain adventure or quiet restoration, this wild northern corner of Wales has just the medicine you need.

Curate your North Wales stay
best activity
Hike the ridge from Bwlch y Ddeufaen for one of North Wales’ most spectacular panoramas — Snowdonia behind you, the Irish Sea ahead and the Great Orme glowing in the distance.
secret kip tip
Head to Porth Iago on the Llyn Peninsula, a perfect crescent of turquoise water tucked between cliffs, often blissfully empty even in summer. Bring a picnic, leave only footprints.
with kids
The GreenWood Family Park near Caernarfon is pure joy for all ages — a sustainably powered adventure park with zip lines, mazes and woodland slides.
Book dinner at Dylan’s in Menai Bridge for sea-to-plate dishes with panoramic views of the strait. Or for something a little more low-key, grab woodfired pizza at Y Marram.
wildlife
Take a boat trip from Beaumaris to Puffin Island to spot seals, seabirds and (if you’re lucky) porpoises.
rainy day
Duck into the Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw Arts Centre in Llanbedrog, a Victorian villa filled with Welsh art and sea views.
