The 16th century cottage you can book on Airbnb for May Bank Holiday

With the first May bank holiday fast-approaching your mind might be turning to a relaxing getaway to make the most of the long weekend. Luckily there are still places with last minute availability, including a gorgeous 16th century farm cottage which is only 90 minutes’ drive from Greater Manchester.

Waen Farm Cottage is nestled in the stunning countryside of North Wales, three miles away from St Asaph, which lays claim to being one of the smallest cities in the UK. It's still available to book for the early May Bank Holiday, from May 3 to May 6, starting from £200 a night.

The 16th-century cottage is brimming with character; there’s gorgeous wooden beams throughout, a cosy wood-burning stove in the living room and rustic farmhouse-style kitchen with a huge table you can get all the family around. As it’s Grade-II listed, it really feels as if you’re stepping back in time. Yet it has all the mod-cons you’d expect from Airbnb, with a fully-equipped kitchen and a barbecue grill outside.

The cottage sleeps up to seven guests across three rooms. There’s a master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a second bedroom with a double bed and a third bedroom with three single beds, so it’s ideal for families looking for a rural getaway.

There’s a large family bathroom with a big bath, perfect for a relaxing soak. In addition to this there’s a downstairs wet room, so no disputes over waiting for the bathroom.

The impressive farmhouse kitchen has a big range cooker, a fridge freezer and a large island to prepare meals on. There’s a separate dining area connected to the kitchen with a large table, ideal for family breakfasts and
