Best Places to Stay in Wales for Families Who Love the Outdoors (2025 Guide)
We spent six years living in Wales, running an outdoor activity centre and sneaking off on every mini-adventure we could—rain or shine. Over time, we got to know the trails, beaches, waterfalls, and cosy hideaways that make this place perfect for families who love the outdoors.
Whether you’re into mountain hikes, coastal walks, forest picnics, or just want somewhere with space for your kids to run wild, this guide shares the best spots we’ve found to eat, sleep, and explore. From the Brecon Beacons to Pembrokeshire, the Gower, Snowdonia, and Mid Wales—these are the places we keep going back to.
If you’re looking for a holiday that mixes fresh air, adventure, and family-friendly charm, Wales is a brilliant (and often underrated) choice. Here’s everything you need to plan it.
