Alternatively, you could stay at Gwesty’r Marine Hotel and Spa; it is also about a 4min walk from Aberystwyth Beach, which has a pier that offers an arcade and gaming facilities for families.

Wales is well known for Mount Snowdon, the highest point in England and Wales. If you want to enjoy a hiking holiday, then you should stay at accommodation close to Snowdonia National Park.

For those travelling on a budget and who want to hike in Snowdonia but aren’t fussed about hiking up Mount Snowdon, you could opt for a hotel such as Ffestiniog B&B. This hotel is a roughly 8min drive from Pant Llwyd, where you can enjoy an approximately 1h 30min round-trip walk to Cwm Cynfal Viewpoint.

If you‘re after luxury, then you should look for accommodation in the south of Wales, as there are more 5-star hotels than in the north. You could stay at voco St. David’s Cardiff, which offers swimming pools and tennis courts to its guests whilst also being less than a 15min walk to popular areas such as Cardiff Bay.
