We were so pleased with our stay at Pentowyn. The welcome note, cake and other treats were really appreciated, and the cottage was equipped with every thing we needed. Itâs a very comfortable place to stay. The dog loved the spacious garden and it was great being so close to the beach. We would highly recommend a stay here as a base to explore Anglesey.
