Had a lovely 4 night stay at owl cottage with my husband 7byear old daughter and dog. The cottage is lovely inside and has all the amenities you could want in a holiday cottage. There are a few things that show wear but it makes no difference to there use. The lounge area is lovely it has great views and we loved watching the cows and rabbits. Tge bedroms are fab my daughter loved that it felt like she was in a treehouse with the space saving stairs to climb. The cottage is perfectly located to visit Rhosneigr, Aberffraw and Holyhead they are all about 10-15 mon drive. We loved our stay.

Well…where does one start… we opened the door and there was a lovely fresh fragrance and nice to be left a cake and some milk… However, the lounge area was not too cleaver… the sofa was old and tired, the feet were falling off and you kept on falling in between the cushions. The windows were dirty and needed a good clean and the blinds were also dirty with one blind in particular full of dead flys…The sleeping arrangements were too difficult for my wife to access…In the end we had had enough and came home a day early…The land was not dog friendly and had no secure areas to let the dogs out on there own… Very disappointing!
