A winter escape awaits this February half term
From the fresh start of a new year to the slow build towards spring, February half term arrives as a welcome pause. A chance to step away from routines, gather the family and head to North Wales for a break that feels both restorative and quietly adventurous. Think bracing coastal walks wrapped up warm, woodland wanderings under bare winter branches, and wide open landscapes that feel all the more dramatic in the crisp air, before returning to your bolthole for a well-earned afternoon by the fire.
Winter brings a different kind of beauty to North Wales. Mountains feel grander, beaches blissfully uncrowded, and villages settle into a slower rhythm. It’s a season made for noticing the details: frost-tipped fields, changing skies, and long views that stretch further when the air is clear. Often calmer than the warmer months, February half term gives you space to enjoy the landscape on your own terms.
February half term on Anglesey or across North Wales offers plenty to fill your days. Blow away the cobwebs on coastal paths, explore castle walls and quiet harbour towns, or spend afternoons discovering local cafés and farm shops. When the weather turns, it’s the perfect excuse to slow things down – board games on the table, something warming on the stove, and nowhere you need to be.
If plans are still taking shape, we know just the place. Our collection of boltholes ranges from cosy and characterful to striking coastal retreats, each chosen for its setting and sense of escape. Pick a hideaway made for fireside evenings and family film nights, or a bolthole with a generous kitchen where everyone can gather after a day outdoors.
Wherever you choose to escape this February half term, time together comes naturally. And if you need to dip into emails between adventures, many of our boltholes offer quiet corners with views to inspire, alongside games rooms and snug spaces to keep the rest of the family happily occupied.
Tempted? Browse freely, every bolthole in this collection has February half term availability.
