Stable Cottage, Llanfendigaid Estate
Rhoslefain, Gwynedd, Wales
A small, well-finished cottage on an old Welsh estate where the garden is fully enclosed and the grounds are made for pottering, with a swing tyre, woodland and a heated indoor pool for the inevitable wet afternoon. The sea is a short walk away, and Tywyn's beach and the Talyllyn steam railway are ten minutes by car. It sleeps four, so it suits a couple with two children (or one plus a baby in the cot) best.

Underground attraction · ideal day trip
A boat trip through a waterfall into an old slate mine, followed by a guided walk through caverns where Welsh legends are told in sound and light. It sits within Corris Craft Centre, which has a café and free parking, so it works well on a rainy day.

Heritage railway · ideal day trip
A tiny narrow-gauge line in the Dulas Valley with a free museum of slate wagons at Corris station. Trains generally run at weekends and bank holidays from Easter to the end of October, so pair it with King Arthur's Labyrinth just up the road.

Beach · short drive
A wide sandy beach beside the pretty harbour village at the mouth of the Dyfi estuary. There are dunes to scramble on and plenty of space even on busy days.
