Had a lovely weekend away. Beautiful, cosy cottage. The owners are lovely and help with any queries. Located in a nice quiet area, perfect if you just want a day or two away from city life. Didn't even have to go far to see nature as there were kites flying above the cottage! ##### Emily Williams ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Oaks Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Four-Oaks-Hotel.h41517481.Hotel-Information) > > [Llandudno Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Regency-Royal-Hotel.h11063174.Hotel-Information) > > [The Diplomat Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanelli-Hotels-Best-Western-Diplomat-Hotel-And-Spa.h5089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Marlborough-Hotel.h15463953.Hotel-Information) > > [Pontins Prestatyn Sand Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestatyn-Hotels-Prestatyn-Sands-Holiday-Park.h4252365.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawton & Lauriston Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Lawton-Lauriston-Court.h91752102.Hotel-Information) > > [The New Alexandra Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-New-Alexandra-Hotel.h24121387.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beaches Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestatyn-Hotels-The-Beaches-Hotel.h1695067.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bulkeley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beaumaris-Hotels-The-Bulkeley-Hotel.h699845.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marine Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h57916982.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterloo Hotel Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betws-Y-Coed-Hotels-Waterloo-Hotel-Lodge.h865766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-The-Imperial-Hotel.h13326626.Hotel-Information) > > [The Castle Hotel, Conwy, North Wales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conwy-Hotels-The-Castle-Hotel.h1272716.Hotel-Information) > > [Celtic Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Celtic-Royal-Hotel.h4519752.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wild Pheasant Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangollen-Hotels-Wild-Pheasant-Hotel-Spa.h24949.Hotel-Information) > > [Gwesty'r Marine Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberystwyth-Hotels-Gwestyr-Marine-Hotel-Spa.h21064320.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Imperial-Hotel.h5062.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Milford Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milford-Haven-Hotels-Ty-Hotel-Milford-Waterfront.h72052558.Hotel-Information) > > [Belmont Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Belmont-Llandudno.h17573519.Hotel-Information) > > [Evans Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Evans-Hotel.h19387795.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seafront Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Bay-County-Hotel.h57956289.Hotel-Information) > > [The Empire Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Empire-Hotel-Spa.h799754.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Oak Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betws-Y-Coed-Hotels-Royal-Oak-Hotel.h3594591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel By Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carmarthen-Hotels-The-Ivy-Bush-Royal-Hotel-By-Compass-Hospitality.h11900800.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Llandudno.h1201479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hand Hotel Llangollen by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangollen-Hotels-The-Hand-Hotel.h20417837.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bear Hotel, Crickhowell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crickhowell-Hotels-The-Bear-Hotel.h4581051.Hotel-Information) > > [White Heather Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-White-Heather-Hotel.h34125177.Hotel-Information) > > [St George's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-St-Georges-Hotel.h62743.Hotel-Information) > > [Heywood Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-Heywood-Spa-Hotel.h23409034.Hotel-Information)
