This Georgian house might be on Newport's main street, but it makes a great base from which to explore the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Preseli Hills, say readers. Hosts Judith and Michael Cooper, who welcome guests with tea or coffee and homemade Welsh cakes, can advise on the 'fabulous walks nearby'.

It might not be as grand as its Isle of Wight namesake, but this Victorian house is now an extraordinarily opulent B&B, and guests have use of the spa and other facilities at big sister venture The Empire.

There is nowhere in the world quite like Sir Clough Williams-Ellis's Italianate resort village, where hotel bedrooms are spread around various properties, centred on a Victorian mansion on wooded slopes above the sandy beaches of the Dwyryd estuary.

The sands of time have seen changes at this formerly drab Edwardian seaside guesthouse, which is now enjoying a new lease of life as a contemporary beach hotel, bar and restaurant, with high-quality, individually designed bedrooms, and modern cooking, including gluten-fee and vegan menus.

Behind the ornate stucco façade of a Victorian industrialist's summer villa, Gaenor Loftus and Sam Nayar have created a very un-Victorian B&B with nine highly individual bedrooms.

There is a spirit of inclusiveness about this family friendly, dog friendly, singularly accessible clifftop hotel and spa, with a wide range of rooms and suites, from cheap and cheerful to luxury, and a menu to suit most tastes.

High above the town, a modern hotel with 'exceptional' seascapes that are as restorative, perhaps, as the calm that washes over guests in the award-winning spa.
