A few items looking tired (toilet seats and brushes) and a few bulbs blown. Emma brought extra towels when requested. Could do with better lighting in the lounge needed for older folks with not so good eyesight. Otherwise a very pleasant enjoyable stay.
Jo
Quiet and tidy with a short walk to beaches and headlands. Plenty of space in the house with two lounge rooms and a large kitchen. We had a lovely time.
Paul
Only a 5 minute walk from beautiful Cemaes Bay.
