The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, scenic views, and convenience for exploring Anglesey. Its proximity to local amenities and attractions adds to the appeal.
Guests frequently mention the cottage's comfort, noting the cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, some guests found the sofas and double bed less comfortable, slightly affecting the score.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, but some guests reported missing kitchen essentials, issues with heating, and a need for better maintenance in certain areas. These factors suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

But the heating wouldn't work and only a small amount of logs for the log burner supplied. The heating stopped working again during our stay. We had to spend £30 on logs in order to keep warm. The living area needs a deep clean cobwebs every where and very dusty. Pillows like pancakes, so ended up with a bad neck. Be careful in the shower, the water was extremely hot and would take the skin off you. No way of adjusting the hot water temperature. Overall, very tired and needs a refresh. Pots, pans and equipment in poor condition. If looking for a no frills, basic stay it will be adequate.

Easily accessed and within reach of everything on Anglesey and the north of mainland Wales Good quality fittings. Our only problem is that we both have mobility issues and the step from outside to the twin bedroom and the step down to the lounge was difficult . Both these could be easily improved: adding another external step to the bedroom (ie 2 steps up) and another hang rail for going down / up between the kitchen area and the lounge would help, The bedside lamp in the double room was odd and there were no instructions. Couldn't use the bath as we couldn't safely get in. Maybe some steps? These would also help shorter guests reach the top of kitchen cupboards. Maybe baking tray could be added and even a plug in USB socket ... both very cheap. Would have hoped to see a mention of problems that might face people with mobility issues. Regards Patti

Great place to recharge our batteries and explore the Island from. The owner was really helpful with advice on places to visit.
