The Rarebits Collection of hotels and accommodation venues has a portfolio of around 65 quality places to stay throughout Wales.
Ranging from luxury spa hotels, a castle and historic inns to B&Bs, farmhouses, self-catering holiday homes, vineyards and restaurants with rooms, they all offer comfortable, stylish decor and great Welsh hospitality as well as fine food and drink, where provided.
Split into three distinct groups, larger hotels come under the Welsh Rarebits brand, while guest houses, traditional inns and boutique boltholes are marketed as Great Little Rarebits.
The self-catering cottages, big country houses, lodges and cabins fall into the Hideaway Rarebits collection.

Hunkered down in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the self-catering Eco Barn at Preseli Venture combines warm-hearted rustic charm with up-to-date modern comfort.

The timber beams, exposed copper pipework, a feature metal spiral staircase and heavy oak joinery reflect traditional Welsh industrial architecture.
With a spacious convivial kitchen, toasty wood burner and an upstairs dining area that embraces the ever-changing coastal vistas with its sunny balcony and floor to ceiling glass, this is a house made for great company, laughter and fresh air adventures.

Outside there is a large, fenced garden with space to run and jump, and if you need more accommodation check out the neighbouring Courtyard Cottages, pitch a tent in the glamping fields or book the geodome.
The hosts, Sophie and Nick Hurst, provide outdoor adventure activities through Preseli Venture including sea kayaking, coasteering, surfing, yoga and wild swimming plus self-led hiking.
Short breaks at the Eco Barn are priced from £330.
In Ceredigion, Glaneirw Estate, near Cardigan, has also joined the Welsh Rarebits collection.

They can be let individually or together accommodating up to 24 guests. Carefully separated so that privacy is assured for smaller groups, both the Coach House and Courtyard sleep 10, while the open plan self-contained Apartment is a cosy retreat for two guests with a sofa bed for the children.
All have a mix of modern furniture and antique pieces with some original oak doors, ancient slate tiling with new underfloor heating, patinated beams, ornate architraves and high ceilings.

The Courtyard's massive kitchen island is the focal point of a high-end kitchen, flowing through the duplex height dining space on to the cosy living area, all 23 metres of which open out through three sets of generous bifold doors to the terrace and private garden space.
A double-sided wood burner adds cosy vibes while just off the patio there is an outdoor but fully covered games room with table tennis and darts plus seating and an additional fridge.

The estate has a long and colourful history dating back to the 1400s.
After passing through several pairs of less than careful hands, in 2013 an epic restoration project began that has seen the buildings, walled garden and 50 plus acres bought back to life with attention to heritage detail blending with contemporary luxury finishes.
