It was better and cleaner than we expected. The area was nice and quiet and in the perfect spot not too far from Bangor or Caernarfon. Nice new comfy sofa and looking out down the Menia was great. We would definitely stay here again.

It is an absolute pleasure to stay in this property, the views are absolutely amazing, looking across the Menai Straits to Anglesey, which is so close. The views are ever-changing with the tides, time of day and weather, it's difficult to tear yourself away from the huge patio window from which the sunset is amazing. The house is extremely warm, cosy, clean, very well equipped and inviting, even storm Darragh, recently ,couldn't change that as we stayed tucked up and protected whilst it raged outside. We received a telephone from the owner to kindly check that we were okay, her contact was very warm and welcome. The location of the property is also excellent, there is so much to do on the doorstep and further afield. We enjoyed walks along the Straits, through the woods even to/from Caernarfon. The local bus service is excellent. The Marina is a delightful place to wander around and maybe have a drink or something to eat at Swellies, which is a lovely, friendly cafe bar

The view from the lounge and main bedroom was great overlooking the Menai Straight and the marina entrance with all the different yachts and boats coming and going.
