About this property

The Dog house, a country retreat.

The Dog and Duck House are a pair of beautiful, idyllic one bedroom country retreats, with all the comfort and cosiness you could wish for whilst on holiday on Anglesey. We also have a log cabin on site that can be found under a different listing called The Peacock Cabin.

Whatever the weather you will enjoy the comfort offered in either of these properties, and the fun and excitement of the surrounding area. The sitting rooms with their log burning stoves provide the setting for relaxing after a day out exploring the natural beauty of the Isle of Anglesey and the surrounding National Park.

We have sensitively renovated the properties over the last 4 years and have done much of the work ourselves taking into account every minute detail. Our hope is that we have created relaxing and calm spaces that enable you to fully unwind and enjoy time spent in this beautiful part of the world. The natural beauty of the area speaks for itself and if you enjoy the outdoors and love natural history this is definitely the place to visit - you will not be disappointed.

Both the Dog House and the Duck House have a sleeping capacity of 2 +2 people each, however we have an adjoining door (sensitively hidden between them and locked if each cottage is rented separately) that allows access to the adjoining cottage if required. This enables two families/couples or group of friends to enjoy both spaces together, or a larger family to be able to rent the complete space. The additional sleeping for 2 people in each of the cottages is a sofa bed so you would need to be organised and know each other well!

Wonderful visit

What a lovely, cosy cottage stay with very welcoming hosts. Our dog loved it too. Bit hard to find initially just using the postcode, but once you spot it the other side of the bridge things are simple and straightforward.

Absolutely perfect stay

We stayed for one night to try to see some stormy weather on Anglesey. The accomodation was absolutely perfect for us. Its spotless and extremely well equipped. Welshcakes and a bottle of wine welcomed us which is a lovely touch. The wood burning fire was a treat and the shower was the best I have ever stepped into. The owners have creatively made the shower floor out of small pebbles and i actually felt as though I was standing on a beach - very clever indeed. The accomodation is tasteful and creative and has a real homely feel. The owners do live on site, but left us to it which is our preference. However, they do offer an immediate response if you need it. We asked for more logs and within minutes we had them. This place is beautiful.

A truly delightful Welsh cottage experience

Every thing about this stay was perfect. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The cottage had fresh eggs, coffee and tea and milk, Welsh cakes, and a nice bottle of wine as a welcome gift. The kitchen is well appointed, the bedroom is very comfortable, fantastic bedding and the bathroom, especially the shower is gorgeous and huge. The grounds are lovely, there is a pond that makes a soothing sound for sleeping, the chairs outside are a nice place to sit on a sunny day. It is close to many great hikes like on Llanddwyn Island and a short drive to Holyhead. For Canadian/North American travellers I would recommend stopping at one of the gas stations (gas stations have small grocery stores that are really well stocked compared to rural Ontario) before arriving for snacks and other beverages as it is wonderfully remote and quiet and once you are there you won't want to leave to find these items. I would give this stay a 100% and would go back in a second.

About the host

Hosted by Dr K D Bigham

I am a Clinical Psychologist and my partner, Ben is an Area Manager for a railway company. We have four children between us and three grandchildren, as well as lots of animals, including sheep, horses, dogs, hens, and peafowl (all of which you will see if you come and stay). As a result, we are very busy, and love meeting new people who come and stay at the cottages. We are always on hand to help in any way we can.

Why they chose this property

The Dog and Duck House are a beautifully renovated stable block. We have made them homely and comfortable with all you will need to enjoy a break away in the wonderful Welsh countryside. There is plenty of space outside to enjoy, wonderful walks from the door and beautiful beaches just a stone's throw away. Dogs are more than welcome, and they will find some biscuits awaiting them upon arrival.
