Fantastic property for our holiday

We stayed here the last week in September and loved it. The flat was very cosy and had everything we needed, right down to a salad spinner!. The owners, Gwenda and Dic, thought of everything and were super friendly and welcoming. Will difinitely go back and would highly recommend to all my friends/family if they ever want to visit Wales, whose praises I can't sing loudly enough. Lovely holiday and can't wait to go back

Great, good value holiday base!

Spacious, well equipped flat. We slept really well in comfy beds, with good quality bedding. Nice welcome with homemade goodies, with more available outside each day. Gwenda and Dic were friendly and helpful. As the details say, there are not views from the property but just short walks away they're there in abundance!

Homely stay

We stayed at the apartment for 4 nights, myself, my husband and our 2 children. We found it very homely, the owners have thought of lots of little things to make our stay more comfortable, it had everything we needed, even beach toys and towels for us to use. There is a little park in the village and a shop but lots of things to drive to. We visited the pilot boat inn, pili palas, bull bay, ceames bay and Lligwy beach which was beautiful. The only negatives are there were no window locks which I would of liked for peace of mind in my children's room, and as we were upstairs and the children playing and running around was causing a lot of noise. We could hear downstairs television and conversations late at night and even them putting their bathroom light on so we did feel like we couldn't fully relax and had to try and keep the children quiet.

Holiday Short Stay

The property was in a good location for exploring Angelsey. The car park access is tight and quite awkward if all 4 spaces are taken. The inside of the property is clean and tidy, with a good range of kitchen equipment/utensils. However, the bathroom is in need of upgrading and a ventilation fan is required.

We agree completely John. It was due for upgrading last year but due to Covid of course, it had to be put on hold. This was also a reason why we kept prices low this year. There’s going to be many alterations taking place this Winter so if you visit us again, it will be good to receive your opinions. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us

weekend break

The flat was clean and comfortable and very pleasantly arranged. There were steps to climb up to the front door. This property made a very good base for exploring the surrounding area of Anglesey and a very nice place to relax in in friendly surroundings.

Homely welcome.

We really loved this property - so good to have the owners on site. Well equipped. Everything we needed even beach towels and beach toys. Washing machine and drier if needed. Ideal location for exploring the island, we loved Pary's Mountain, Castle lighthouse and Liigwy beach. The children loved the goodies on sale each day at the cart outside.
