The great escape: 10 lovely new holiday cottages in the UK

Many Brits will be holidaying in the UK this summer, fortunately there are many gorgeous getawatys to choose from

Since buying this coastal farm on a whim while filming in Pembrokeshire some 15 years ago, Griff Rhys Jones and his family have set about restoring the 70-acre estate’s cottages and outbuildings one by one, converting them into cosy holiday retreats that celebrate Welsh craftsmanship. The latest conversion of a granary, with exposed stone walls, Welsh slate floors and a woodburner, is no exception. It’s just a short stroll from the front door to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (look out for dolphins) and beautiful Blue Flag beaches, such as Abermawr. From £989 for three nights in July – holidays in Wales are permitted from 15 July. Sleeps six (underthethatch.co.uk)
