Summer might have come and gone quicker than we could say beach towel (in fact, did it even happen?), but we're kind of thrilled about autumn making its return. Sure we'll miss all the hard seltzer-themed picnics in the park as well as being able to don a summer dress and sandals without freezing… But the end of September marks a lot to be excited for. Read: winter coats, throw blankets, ankle boots, and weekends away at cosy Airbnbs in wales.

Some may disagree, but we can't be the only ones who think autumnal weekend breaks – complete with crisp country walks in puffer jackets, roaring log fires and plenty of time to read those new books that have been sat on your bedside table – are on par with (if not better than) trips away in the summer?

If you're on the same page as us, you're likely keeping your eyes peeled for the chic and stylish holiday cottages you might be able to rent for a day or two before Christmas kicks in. Especially if cancelled summer holidays (due to difficulties with travel) have left you with all the annual leave to use up before December.

Luckily, we're here to help you spend the annual leave that's burning a hole in your pockets. We've already rounded up the best weekend breaks for all-year-long, and the best Airbnbs in Cornwall if you fancy staying in a holiday cottage by the sea. We've also found the most beautiful Airbnbs in the Cotswolds for a wholesome retreat with your friends, and the best hen do destinations in the UK for a girls' weekend to remember – available to book through the likes of Plum Guide, Skyes Cottages and Airbnb. Now? We're rounding up the best Airbnbs in Wales – 'cos there's no-where more perfect for an end-of-year vacay.
