The house itself is located in a pretty quiet area. No nightly noise, very close to a shop and restaurant and of course one of the nicest beaches we visited. If you're planning on accessing the mountain hikes, most of them are within an hours drive. No issues whatsoever during our stay (other than the weather!). The owner popped by near the end of our stay to take out the recycling (which is encouraged and well organised) and was a very friendly and polite chap. Most of the do's and don'ts are helpfully signposted within the house and as long as the place is treated with respect you'll have a great stay. I would absolutely recommend the property and would definitely return.

It was well equipped, the only thing we didn't find was the hair dryer. Newborough was a good location to begin our walking and cycling excursions throughout the week, some direct from the house, others a short drive away. The secure back garden was good for storing our bikes and it was easy to use the free parking area just a few yards up the road for the extra car. The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, bread and welsh cakes was much appreciated.

The photos do not truly show how large and comfortable each of the rooms are. The house has all the amenities you would need when away from home and the owners left us a lovely welcome pack to start the visit. The beds are very firm but comfortable. The towels are large and thick. The garden - although not used - was lovely and I'm sure if we had the weather we would have sat outside to enjoy. The position is fantastic for visiting the amazing beach and forest at Newborough - its a 40 minute or 2 mile walk, but doable as it is mostly flat, or a 5 minute drive parking is £2 for 2 hours, followed by a fee for each hour after - you will not be disappointed by the visit. Across the road is a small but very welcoming pub, The White Lion, who do meals. And on the corner a small cafe and corner shop. It is a great base for visiting Anglesey, Caernarfon and Snowdon.
