You have to make an effort to get to mythical Bardsey, dangling off the tip of Wales's Lleyn Peninsula. It's so remote there are no full-time residents, just a summer-time community of farmers and holiday makers. Visitors stay like hermits in long-abandoned cottages with no running water or electricity, and you have to stand in the sea to pick up a mobile signal.

But you also get rare birdlife, fresh lobsters delivered by local fishermen and the kind of deep, utter peace you're hard pressed to get anywhere else in the UK.

Bardsey is about two miles off the tip of the Lleyn Peninsula in north Wales.

This is a charming, newly-renovated cottage on a small organic vegetable farm in Wales. Its clever design means that it uses a tiny amount of green electricity to maintain a comfortable temperature day and night. The views of Cardigan Bay and the Snowdonia mountains are superb and the delights of the Lleyn Peninsula are on the doorstep.
