Minimoon hotels in the Wales
Mountains, coast and castles, from Eryri (Snowdonia) in the north to the Pembrokeshire coast in the west.
Wales packs mountains, beaches and castles into a small country, and its best hotels tend to be quiet country houses rather than big resorts. That makes it a good fit for a minimoon where you want to switch off.
North Wales is closest for couples from Manchester and Liverpool; South Wales and Pembrokeshire suit couples from Bristol and London.
When to go: All year. Pembrokeshire beaches are best from late spring to early autumn; Eryri is dramatic in any weather.
