About this property
Nestled on the south-west corner of Anglesey in the pretty village of Newborough is this semi-detached property, Fern Hill Cottage. This splendid retreat has been designed to offer couples, friends or families a chance to explore this wonderful part of Wales, home to a plethora of stunning beaches, excellent walks and charming historical landmarks. Enter into the warmth of the cottage and head into the spacious sitting area, where a wood burning stove exudes a sense of character and offers a gentle warmth during a winter’s evening. Joining the space is a well-equipped kitchen, where the designated chef of the group can make use of the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Once your meals are ready, gather your loved ones within the light-filled conservatory to relish in some quality time together as you tuck into a delicious meal. Completing the interior are the two bedrooms, comprising of a king-size bedroom and a double bedroom, each one designed with a refreshing ambiance, making great sleeping spots to return to at the end of an action-packed day. During a balmy afternoon, table and chairs situated within the garden offer an alternative dining arrangement, also a great spot for popping open a bottle of wine to enjoy as the sun sets. From the doorstep of the cottage, you can choose to walk into the pretty village, home to a traditional pub for that well-deserved pint after a long walk and a shop for picking up any ingredients required for a home-cooked meal. From here, you are also stone’s throw away from the glorious Newborough Beach, which is flanked by the enchanting Newborough forest, making a great spot for walking. Once you reach the sandy beach, be greeted by the stunning view of the mountains of Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula before you try your hand at a number of watersport or walk towards the beautiful Llanddwyn Island. Keen walkers can look forward to strolling along section 9 Anglesey Coastal Path, which starts from Llyn Rhos Du and ends at Aberffraw, promising even more breath-taking scenery. Other attractions within the area includes the National Trust site of Plas Newyd and the wonderful Sea Zoo, both promising excellent days out for a family of all ages. Alternatively, travel further afield to Holyhead, where you can hop on board a ferry to spend the day in Ireland, or admire the views from the Menai Strait or head to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, home to a plethora of hikes and other outdoor activities. With so much to see and do, secure your stay at Fern Hill Cottage for a memorable holiday with loved ones.

There are some nice walks in the local area. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Parking space on the drive is plenty big enough. The mattress on the bed in the second bedroom was very comfy. Main bedroom mattress was fine just not as comfy as the other (but this is personal preference, someone could easily have the opposite opinion). The beach was a ten minute drive, we kept reading in various places about paying a toll fee but we never had to, possibly this has been replaced by a parking charge instead? Parking at the beach car park ranged from £2 for 2 hours up to a maximum daily charge of £7 which is quite reasonable, so best to make a whole day of it. The beach is lovely, together with the island and the dunes. There are some areas of the beach where dogs are allowed and others where dogs are not allowed. Unfortunately some people either cannot read or chose to ignore this sign, so if you aren't a fan of dogs just be aware that you will still encounter them in the banned area! We had a great few days in Newborough and in this property, would definitely book again.

On the whole it was good just a bit of grouting on sink in bathroom and unusual no welcome pack but really enjoyed the place and the area
