This gloriously off-grid stone farmhouse surrounded by untamed nature will suit those who revel in taking life at a more measured pace

Put quite simply this place, in an AONB between the moors and the sea, should be on prescription for most of us these days. There’s no central heating but the Aga keeps you cosy along with two wood-burning stoves. The Aga (which you boil the kettle and cook on, along with a little gas hob) heats water for one of the candle-lit bathrooms, one of the wood-burners supplies hot water for the other. Electricity is via solar panels so lights won't glare and there's no distracting WiFi or telly.

Sash windows let in bucolic views, there are Penguin books to borrow, games to play, a big kitchen table, two sitting rooms and a garden from which you'll hear only sheep, birdsong and the stream as it hurries along. Stride out into the Celtic Rain Forest, swim in silent lakes, breathe pure air, spot rare flora and fauna, enjoy big skies - starlit at night.

Sleep deeply in the peace, enjoy a blessed release from technology, let older children connect with nature.

Kathleen Holland:

Surrounded by dramatic mountains, lush forests, cascading waterfalls & a picturesque coastline , Garth Gell sits in a hidden valley on the edge of Snowdonia National Pk. A magical off-grid experience, purposely low-tech - here you disconnect to reconnect.
Set your imagination free & explore the ancient woodlands around you with its watery wonderland of steams and mini streams or head up the rugged moorlands through the earthy sent of ferns, past swaying foxgloves, bilberries, rare mosses, lichens & birds.
Days full of adventures await: climb Cader Idris, conquer Snowdon (or take train up!), stroll around the gardens of Plas Brondanw or Bodnant or the Italianate Village of Portmerion. Hop on a gleaming steam train or take a trip to Harlach beach & castle.
Stunning doorstep walks, hikes of all levels, world acclaimed mountain bike trails and endless outdoor pursuits await. Come evening sit by the firepit under star filled skies, count shooting stars, (part of the Dark Sky Reserve) & listen for the cuckoo.
Let a home-cooked Aga meal (pre-order) gently simmer while you cosy up by the warm glow of the log burner & read or play cards & relax, having uncovered the magic modernity often suppresses. Reconnect with nature and the simplest of pleasures.
Your romantic hideaway brims with rustic charm, original features & a dash of eccentricity. The house is secluded & serene, a back-to-basics experience.
