North Wales is home to some of the most beautiful spots in the world, so it's unsurprising that it's such a popular holiday destination.

Many visitors are venturing away from more traditional places to stay, like hotels or campsites, and are looking instead to book unique "homes away from home" through sites like Airbnb.

From cottages and converted barns to glamping huts and treehouse hideaways, there are all kinds of rentals for those looking for peace and quiet surrounded by nature and those ready for adventure.

We took a look at some of the more unusual places you can stay in and around North Wales this summer.
