About this property

Situated in the heart of the village of Benllech on the isle of Anglesey and boasting superb views of Benllech's Blue Flag-awarded beach, as well as Red Wharf Bay, Llandudno and the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains is The Sandy Bee, a newly-built, contemporary-style, three-storey property, ideal for a family or group of six guests wanting to explore their incredible surroundings, with the coast and attractions of Anglesey within easy reach. Pull up to the property, which boasts off-road parking on the driveway for up to three cars, and you will find the sheltered hot tub, where you can add a touch of luxury to the end of each day of your stay, just to the side of the property. Head through the front door of this well-proportioned property, which offers a bedroom and bathroom on each of its three floors, meaning you can enjoy quality time as a group but also have a moment to yourself or with your loved one. Head into the contemporary and neutrally-styled kitchen/diner, with sleek white units, a combi oven and grill and a host of appliances you can use to create delicious home cooked meals to enjoy at the large dining table, beside the wall-mounted TV, if you want to enjoy a more casual dining experience. The patio door opens onto the enclosed garden, where you can choose to dine alfresco in the summer on the patio, before moving to the sofa area to relax with a glass of wine, while children and four-legged friends can play safely on the lawn. The ground floor also houses the first of three bedrooms; a spacious and immaculate double bedroom with soft carpet and ample storage, with access to the neutral shower room, decorated with a subtle beach theme, making it ideal for any guest who have mobility issues. Head to the first floor to find the inviting sitting room, boasting incredible sea and mountain views from its dual Juliet balconies. Here you can relax on one of the tasteful sofas or armchair with a good book or your favourite shows on the TV, enjoying a quiet night in. There is a twin bedroom, continuing the subtle beach theme, with charming bunting above the beds, ideal for children, with access to the family bathroom suite, which offers a bath with shower over. The second-floor boasts the generously-sized master bedroom, complete with a king-size bed, lovely wooden furniture, a seating area beside a wonderful picture window so you can enjoy the best of the views, as well as a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room where you can prepare for each day. Benllech village centre is a short walk away, where you will discover a selection of shops for any essentials, along with pubs serving food, bars and restaurants, if you feel like a night off from cooking. Benllech's Blue Flag-awarded beach is also within easy reach, offering a long stretch of soft golden sand, making it popular with families, lined by a selection of cafés and a nearby picnic spot, so you can enjoy lunch with a view. From here you can access the Anglesey Coastal Path and make your way towards the pristine beaches and rocky coves at Rhosneigr and Trearddur Bay, passing attractions like the butterfly palace of Pili Palas Nature World, Anglesey Sea Zoo and Plas Newydd House & Gardens. Nearby Moelfre village is where you will find the RNLI Lifeboat Station, historical landmarks of The Lligwy Cromlech, Capel Lligwy and the ruins of Din Lligwy, as well as incredible views of Ynys Moelfre. The popular Red Wharf Bay is a short distance away, famed for its glorious sunsets, and miles of long sand at low tide you can explore on a scenic stroll, and look out for an array of birdlife known to visit the area, including purple sandpipers, curlew, oystercatchers and dunlin. Head to Beaumaris to explore its impressive 13th century castle and Victorian Gaol, and cross the Menai Suspension Bridge towards the mainland where you will find the bustling university town of Bangor, as well as a plethora of walking, hiking and cycling opportunities through the picturesque rugged landscape of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. The Sandy Bee is a stunning base for your next family getaway to Anglesey.

The village of Benllech boasts a Blue Flag awarded sandy beach, popular with families, with a slipway allowing easy access for all. There is a variety of shops and cafés overlooking the beach, with a picnic area to the side, whilst the village centre offers more shops, pubs, hotels and restaurants.

    Barbara and Andy have thought about everything to make your holiday as comfortable and relaxing as possible with a touch of sparkle and that's not just the fizz awaiting us on arrival, nicely chilled and a welcome addition to the start of what has been a truly lovely holiday. I'm pretty sure we'll be back for some more of Benllechs pure beauty, delicious food in the many restaurants spread in and around the area and beaches to die for! Thank you both, Barbara and Andy for all your lovely messages, you are truly lovely, friendly and helpful hosts!

    The views from the lounge and top floor bedroom are spectacular. The photos so not do them justice. Hot tub is a great addition and well maintained. We did not want to leave. Would happily recommend.
