The ten most popular Welsh holiday properties of the last year have been revealed.

Wales Cottage Holidays, a holiday lettings business, has shared which of its properties were the most booked in the last 12 months.

The destinations range from stargazing cabins to mountain retreats, and even a dragon-themed glamping experience.

The property at the top of the list is Dragon’s Eye in New Quay, which is a “truly unique” getaway wrapped in stainless steel shingles designed to look like a dragon’s scales.

Dragon’s Eye can accommodate two guests in one bedroom, which has a rotating bed, and also features lake views.

A New Quay pick also takes the second spot, with the Sky Hut, which has one bedroom suitable for two guests.

The hut has a roof that opens outwards so that visitors can watch the stars from bed - made even more appealing by the fact that the property sits in a Dark Sky zone.

The third most popular Welsh holiday property last year was Slate Cabin in Machynlleth, which sits on a working farm.

With mountain views of Snowdonia National Park, the hut hosts two guests and includes a wood-burner and an elevating king-size bed.

Elsewhere on the list, another Snowdonia getaway that was popular with holidaymakers was Swn y Nant in Llanberis, set in the centre of the National Park and featuring a private hot tub and an enclosed garden.

Another Snowdonia National Park destination on the list was Ty Cerrig Cottage in Trawsfynydd, a 17th century cottage with inglenook fireplaces, a games room and a hot tub.
