Accommodation

Useful information to find places to stay along the path

Please accept marketing-cookies to enable the share buttons.

There’s lots of different types of accommodation along the Wales Coast Path to suit all tastes and budgets.

What we can’t offer

We don’t have a list of all the accommodation along the entire length of the Wales Coast Path.  This is due to the changing nature of accommodation provision throughout the year.

We do not endorse or recommend any individual businesses over one or the other listed on this page. We are unable to provide help with organising a visit to the path.

What we can offer

We have instead, compiled a list of useful websites where you can find accommodation along the coast. It is not intended to be a complete list, more of a place to start looking for accommodation. The list is based on the sections of the path. It has information on websites aimed at visitors and locals about where to stay, eat and drink in the area.

There’s also an option to get a company to book your accommodation and arrange baggage transfer – got to our Help with Carrying page for a list of providers.

You can use the interactive map to see where the path goes to help you plan your stay.

Visit Wales

The official tourism site for Wales, the Visit Wales website has information on all Visit Wales graded accommodation from bed and breakfasts, hostels and campsites: 

Outdoor Accommodation

This type of accommodation includes campsites, glamping and caravans. We recommend using official campsites and booking ahead where possible, especially during the busier months of the year – typically from April to October, when the weather in the UK is better for hiking. There are many 3rd party websites that allow you search for the accommodation to suit your needs.

Wild camping

Wild camping takes you away from conventional campsites and you can choose where you spend the night.  It is not allowed in England and Wales – unless you have the landowners permission before pitching your tent. If you do obtain landowner permission, leave no trace of your visit and follow the Countryside Code to Respect, Protect and Enjoy your time in the outdoors.

Hostels

There is a variety of hostels in Wales to experience the path on a budget, where you can expect to share certain facilities with other guests.
