We were so comfortable there in front of a roaring log fire and a wonderful view from the large patio windows. The cottage was lovely and warm, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and ideally situated to see all the wonders of Anglesey. We enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely stay again. Owain was very kind and checked on us when it snowed. Thank you Owain for leaving us some welcome goodies too, much appreciated.

The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful if you need any assistance or advice. The only minor things I would note are that the temperature of the hot water was scalding and could do with being turned down; also the thermostatic shower control was defective and could not be adjusted to make the shower cooler. My party all enjoy hot showers so it wasnât really a problem for us. Would definitely return again.
