We could not ask for more and the view over the Menai Straits looking at Anglesey was uninterrupted and amazing. The owners live on site, but did not bother us only to ask if we wanted anything to please let them know. We can thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a quiet stay away from it all, but near enough to facilities.

Very comfortable cottage. the first impresion with not being able to open the front door as we could not turn the key was quickly amended when we found a spacious cottage which was clean and comfortable. The two bathrooms one with a bath and one with a shower made life very easy for us staying and the good sized kitchen quickly became a family focal pointy. Even tho' I was relagated to the lower bunk. ( I am 68 BTW) this too was comfortable One final but minor grip was that the ,arkings on the oven had over the years worn away so that operating the oven was guesswork. We finally sorted it by our last day and suggest that the owners keep some guides for this and the washer and other equipment 8in a convenient folder. Other than that would and have already recommended this cottage
