Had an amazing Christmas stay in this beautiful bungalow. Very clean, very spacious and dog friendly. Lots of lovely walks on doorstep. 15 mins into Holyhead and all the great things to do. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely come stay here again? But maybe not with my dogs as they where driven mad by the lovely, friendly goat and chickens outside the back garden. ( they are terriers and idiots). Would be beautiful in the summer sitting out there and enjoying the views. Only thing I will say is my mother who is disabled did struggle in the shower as no bars to hold on to in there, and the toilet was a bit low for her and struggled to get off as the were no bars. But I would definitely return here for a stay. I loved it 🥰

A beautiful place to stay, especially with the animals to watch outside. Paisley the westie loved watching them. Unfortunately we got there just before Storm Bram started, so not the best weather we've had but still a very relaxing break. Would love to return in the summer months.
