About this property
Cemaes Bay 3 miles. Nant y Gof is a lovely detached cottage situated in Llanrhyddlad, on the Isle of Anglesey. Ideally situated just three miles from Cemaes Bay sitting inside the boundary wall on the owners working farm, this charming cottage offers the perfect setting for a small family getaway to the coast. After an exhilarating afternoon spent hiking along the coast, be welcomed into a bright and airy hallway where you can take off your coats and remove your mud-splattered boots, before making your way into the warm and welcoming sitting room for a quiet evening indoors. Snuggle up to your loved ones on the stylish country sofas as you turn on the Smart TV and delight in your favourite blockbuster movie. Gather snacks from the contemporary white kitchen or rustle up a heart-warming meal with the help of the handy electrical appliances, to be enjoyed at the dining table as you crack open a perfectly chilled bottle of bubbly and toast to time well-spent with your nearest and dearest. Make yourself at home in the pretty ground-floor double, styled with calming grey hues and happy yellow accents, as you unpack all of your belongings into the charming oak wardrobe and relax in the attractive traditional rocking chair before returning to the excitement of the rest of the group. Climb the staircase to discover a charming twin bedroom with quirky sloped ceilings and exposed beams, the perfect place to retreat to at the end of a fun-filled day. Wake the next morning feeling revitalised as you head back down the staircase, kick-starting your day with a refreshing rinse under the shower in the wetroom. Grab your coats and head for the door as you begin your adventure in the great outdoors, starting with a tour of the grand Carreglwyd Estate. Hop in the car and head for Holy Island where you can embark on a breath-taking walk along the clifftops before descending down the famous steps to the iconic Southstack Lighthouse. Indulge in a spot of birdwatching as you venture through the incredible Breakwater Country Park, or lose yourself in the captivating history of the enchanting St Cybi's Church. Closer to home lies the historical landmark of the Standing Stone and the beautiful Melin Llynon Windmill. Wine and dine in some of the finest establishments in the area including the popular the Lobster Pot in Church Bay or Gadlys in Cemaes Bay. Take a scenic tour through the countryside as you explore the magnificent Snowdonia National Park, where you can hike the world-famous Mount Snowdon, or catch the famous train right up to the summit. Make the most of precious time with your loved ones on an escape to Nant y Gof.
Llanrhystud is a charming village in Mid-Wales on the west coast, with three rivers, Carrog, Wyre and Wyre Fach, all meeting to flow into the sea through this quaint settlement. The area surrounding the Grade II listed church, St Rhystud's Church, is now a conservation area, with the village enjoying beautiful rural views as well as a shingle beach. Llanrhystud beach is great for swimming and general watersports, whilst holding views over the lovely Cardigan Bay. Pick up all you need from the local convenience store and garage, or head to the pub which serves classic dishes when you don't feel like cooking. An 18-hole golf course can be enjoyed on a pleasant day, while riding schools and a farm park are not far away and are great for entertaining the little ones. The Wales Coastal Path runs through the village and presents a fantastic way to experience the rugged coastline of Wales, enjoying pitstops at other coastal villages along the way, such as Aberaeron, a delightful Georgian fishing town which still retains its character and charm, head to the harbour and take a boat trip to see the glorious landscape from the coast and discover Cardigan Bay's marine life before sitting down in one of the several eateries.

Kath
The most spacious,well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in and definitely hope to come again. Came prepared for bad weather with lots of activities but weather was so good we were out. Would have quite enjoyed staying at the cottage just listening to the bird song. The only reason we gave it a 9 was because we would have liked a make shift fire pit,to sit and look at the skies in the darker evenings. May be it could be a possible fire hazard on the farm? Apart from that ,it was perfect. Thank you so much.

Spacious and comfortable, with a dog secure garden area, and exercise walk up the very quiet lane just out of the driveway, it was most excellently 'dog friendly'.. including feeding bowls !. Free fresh eggs and a well applianced kitchen were a bonus to the 'cottage conversion' from a traditional farm building. An excellent and relaxing environment, better than the description in the brochure.

Met the owner briefly and she was also lovely. Will book again for longer next time as this was a short break. Couldn't fault the stay.
