The chip-shop tea is a British holiday institution, and it works best when the chippy is a stroll away, not a drive. Every stay on this page has a proper fish and chip shop within about a mile.

If a walk to the chippy is part of your ideal evening away, you're in good company. Our listings don't record chip shops as a facility, though, so we can't promise one is round the corner from any stay below. What we can show you is which stays sit within reach of a town and its public transport, which is the practical starting point. Before you book, check the map on the listing or ask the owner how far the nearest takeaway is.
There are 430 places to stay in Wales on BritStays. Cottages make up the largest share (208), followed by hotels (183). For something more outdoorsy, there are 29 caravanning options, 9 camping sites and just one holiday park.
The most common facility by a long way is being near a train station, which applies to 312 stays. 151 have EV charging nearby and 145 are near a bus stop. Far fewer list WiFi (55), disabled access (36), a bar (32), parking (30) or a restaurant (30). Don't take any of these for granted. If you need parking or a reliable connection, confirm it with the owner first.
North Wales has the biggest concentration. Llandudno has 92 stays, and another 34 are listed as Llandudno, North Wales. After that come Benllech, North Wales (35), Conwy, North Wales (29), Criccieth, North Wales (18) and Porthmadog, North Wales (15). Further south, Cardiff has 32 and Aberystwyth, Mid Wales has 17. The wider region also takes in Pembrokeshire, Gwynedd, Anglesey, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, Powys, Monmouthshire and Swansea and Gower.
Couples and small groups who want to wander into town: Conwy has several compact cottages near a bus stop, a train station and EV charging. 6 Uppergate Street sleeps 2, 2 Railway View sleeps 4 and 3 Rosemary Lane sleeps 5. If you'd rather leave the car parked and walk out for supper, these are a sensible place to start.
Families: Woodville in Porthmadog sleeps 7 and has a bus stop, a train station and EV charging nearby. In Saundersfoot, South Wales, Incline Villa sleeps 6 with the same three transport links. Sandy Hill Park - Sea Dreams sleeps 4 and is near a bus stop with EV charging nearby.
Larger groups: Stays that sleep 8 are less common, so they're worth securing early. The options include Treetops and Bwlchgwyn Equestrian Holidays - Ty Hir, both in Barmouth, North Wales. There's also The Quay in Benllech and Ty'n Rallt in Rhosneigr and Aberffraw, North Wales. In Aberdovey, Bwlchgwyn Equestrian Holidays - Ysgubor Uchaf and Bwlchgwyn Equestrian Holidays - Hen Ysgubor each sleep 6.
Something simpler: In Benllech, Tyddyn Sargent - Ty Menyn and Tyddyn Sargent - Hafod Caravan each sleep 4. No transport facilities are listed for either, so plan on driving to get supplies and takeaways.
Dog owners: We don't hold dog-friendly data for this set. Ask each owner directly before booking.
If you're staying around Aberystwyth, the Amusement Park and Amgueddafa Ceredigion Museum are both in town, which makes for an easy family day. Further afield, there's Lampeter Museum in Ceredigion and Amgueddfa Sir Gâr - Carmarthenshire Museum. Powys has The Robert Owen Museum, Clive Museum and Abbey Cwmhir Museum. For castles and gardens, the region's heritage sites include:
Check opening details with each venue before you set off.
Supply is uneven, so booking early pays off in some cases more than others:
Whichever you choose, read the facility list carefully. Message the owner about parking, WiFi, accessibility, pets and the walk to the nearest chip shop before you pay.
No. Chip shops aren't a recorded facility. Check the listing map or ask the owner. Around 312 stays are near a train station and 145 near a bus stop, which helps if you want to get into town.
