The historic, seaside village of Aberffraw, nestles serenely beside the banks of the tidal River Ffraw, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the Heritage Coast of Anglesey. Holding an exalted place in Welsh history, this sleepy village, known as ‘the Land of the Prince of Wales', held the title of Capital of North Wales, between the 9th and 13th Centuries. Once an important port, the village now consists of the ancient Church of St Beuno, a picturesque packhorse bridge, tea rooms, Llys Llewelyn Cegin Bar, and a beautiful white sandy beach with stunning, panoramic views of Snowdonia. Explore nearby National Nature Reserve spots at Newborough Warren and Malltraeth Pool, surrounded by sweeping sand dunes and marshes, or enjoy a relaxing day on the award winning beach at Llanddwyn Island. The area is renowned for its fascinating birdlife and breathtaking coastal scenery, and with the renowned watersports centre at Rhosneigr situated just 4 miles away, this is the ideal location for a varied and enjoyable holiday.

The cottage is clean, well equipped and in an excellent location. There was a generous welcome pack and the owner checked with us that everything was OK once we had settled in. We would definitely stay again.

The outside space is amazing if you have the weather, plenty of space for children to play and secure with gates at the front although quite a busy road. If I had any complaints it would be the towels werenât properly dry and I think this is due to the quick turn around? All in all would definitely stay again
