North Wales has long been a much-loved destination for visitors, drawing tourists with its spectacular scenery and wide range of things to see and do.
In recent times, the traditional accommodation options of hotels and B&Bs have been joined by a range of others - including some rather unusual ones - on sites like Airbnb.
From cottages and converted barns to alpaca pods and former milk sheds, there are all kinds of rentals available across the region.
We took a look at some of the best places you can stay in and around North Wales this autumn.
