We had a lovely time in this cottage. It was clean and cosy and had everything you needed. The views from the back garden are beautiful. Una and Robert came and introduced themselves which was really lovely and it was great being shown around the main houses impressive gardens. Only a walk away from Menai Bridge which is a lovely place with eateries, pubs and shops. Would absolutely recommend and would stay there again!

A comfortable and well equipped cottage, very close to a supermarket and restaurants, whilst being in a quiet part of the town. There are many places of interest nearby and lots to explore both on the island and mainland.
