The pictures don't show the size of the property it was a lot bigger than we were expecting! The kitchen was the best kitted out kitchen we've ever stayed in had absolutely everything you could possibly need! The beds were super comfy! As were the sofas! The hottub was an added bonus! Both outside yards were fully enclosed. The bay itself was a short walk from the cottage and the village has some great amenities! Chip shop/cafes and a small store. 5 mins from Amlwch which had more amenities. If we return to Anglesey we sure will return to this cottage!

The property itself was lovely and very tastefully and quirkily decorated ,, we noticed something new nearly every day . The beds were some of the comfiest we've ever stayed in and the hot tub fantastic.. if I have any criticism it'd be more pans please and maybe heat the property before guests arrive ( took over a day for the heating to get up to speed ) ..But overall one of the best places weve stayed and will hopefully come back next year
