Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is generally praised for its cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting it as very clean and well-prepared. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as dog hair and dirty dishes, which slightly impacted the overall perception of cleanliness.

The location is highly regarded for its convenience and quiet setting, with easy access to local attractions and walks. The proximity to Menai Bridge and the peacefulness of being on a no-through road are frequently mentioned as positives.

Guests frequently mention the comfort of the cottage, particularly noting the comfy beds and cosy atmosphere. The provision of a powerful shower and efficient heating also contributes to the overall comfort experienced by visitors.

Facilities are generally well-received with a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful amenities for dogs. However, several reviews cite maintenance issues such as a problematic oven and a dripping tap, leading to a slightly lower score in this category.

The thoughtfulness of the owners is evident in the provision of dog bowls, blankets, and other amenities. While gifts like Welsh cakes are mentioned, it is noted that such gestures, though appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

    Hmmm, I thought..I must have made a mistake, it must have been 3 beds: oh no! I'll have to share. Suddenly, my son shouted 'I've found another bedroom!'. It was like Narnia through the wardrobe haha...there was indeed another delightful bedroom on the ground floor. This was perfect for my elderly parents, as there was a downstairs as well as an upstairs WC. The detached cottage was bliss, and we enjoyed the space it awarded us. There were 3 generations of us, and we all loved this handsome cottage as much as the other. We'll be back if there are vacancies left. Big thank you to the owners!!

    The garden had a lovely little suntrap area and it was a joy to wake up to the sound of birds singing and very little else. There was a surprising amount of room inside and we loved the layout, quirky and interesting. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped and we appreciated having dog bowls and more. The location for exploring Anglesey was really ideal too. We all agreed we would very happily return and thought it was very good value for money.

    Exactly what we were looking for. Wood stove was such a treat as was the bath.
