Any recommendations on best general area to stay in? We've picked Wales as my partners family is from Wales but we've never been, but have no idea which part to go to!
We'd like to stay somewhere with nice country/sea views that's nearby plenty of things to do should be choose to go out exploring.
Anywhere in the Gower is probably a pretty safe bet - lovely scenery and coast line and popular enough that there's a good amount of stuff to do there.
Only downside is that it's quite near Swansea - but just keep your head down when you go through there and you should be fine!
Failing that there are plenty of places along the Welsh coast that are really nice to visit: Tenby, St Davids, Fishguard, Cardigan are all places that I've been on holiday/ for day trips recently and really enjoyed.
I was gonna suggest the Gower as well, really nice beaches, and if you do want to head towards Swansea, you've always got the Mumbles end, rather than more central, which is actually pretty nice.
Alternatively, I spent a week up at the in laws caravan in Porthmadog this summer, and that's great, too. Nice beaches, plenty of places to go walking. Easy to drive to anywhere in Snowdonia or around there from as well.
