Wednesday, 29 December 2010 7:13 AM

There are plenty of reasons to head to Wales this January, as Sheepskin is offering rural holidays at a range of exclusive Welsh properties.

Starting from £120 per person, the luxury self-catering company is giving holidaymakers the chance to experience the rural Welsh property Wayside.

The perfect hideaway for a family weekend break, Wayside features three stylish bedrooms, open plan living area with wood burning stove and a well-equipped country kitchen.

Guests can enjoy a relaxing stroll or a challenging walk in the Aran Mountains just outside the front door. Fishing enthusiasts can also head for the river outside the cottage and mountain bikers can burn off some Christmas calories.

With a range of luxury properties to choose from, there are many options for some post-Christmas relaxation in the Welsh countryside.

Head for South Wales, Devon or Porlock Weir and escape the hustle and bustle of the city, every Sheepskin property offers a combination of the comforts of a hotel with the freedom and privacy of home.
