Sandra
Nicely equipped, warm and comfortable too. Thank you very much for the welcome Anglesey themed gifts - they were all really lovely. In your cottage description, please consider adding a photo of the picturesque Snowdonia view from both the lounge and bedroom. Also the addition of the great dog walk down to the Menai from the front door was greatly valued as our early /last dog walk of the day.

We stayed with our 2 teenagers and Richard did say that it might be a bit snug but that was the chance we took, for 4 adults it maybe was a little small but we still enjoyed it otherwise. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, very clean and tidy with sturdy furniture and also in a great location to tour Anglesey. With a shop and takeaway nearby and a pub next door you have everything you need in a lovely village.
