Cottages

Cottages is a Wales sub-category that gathers short pieces on the holiday cottage rental tradition that runs along the coast and through Snowdonia. Articles look at the difference between a converted stone barn in Pembrokeshire and a slate-roofed cottage in the Conwy Valley, what to expect from a typical week’s let through Coast and Country or Sykes, the heating and insulation question for older single-glazed properties, the rule that most cottages have a Saturday-to-Saturday changeover and the practical issue of pet-friendly versus dog-free properties. There are also notes on the Welsh language signage you will see along the way.
