Guests say
Guests are overwhelmingly positive about The Old Lifeboat House, praising its stunning location, cleanliness, and comfort. The views and wildlife encounters are highlights, with many visitors feeling relaxed and at home. Some minor issues are mentioned, but the overall sentiment is one of eagerness to return.
Cleanliness
Reviews consistently mention the property being clean, well-maintained, and in pristine condition. One isolated comment about a fishy smell suggests a minor issue, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness is clear.
Location
The location is frequently described as stunning, with inspiring views over the Menai Straits and easy access to nature. The proximity to amenities and the beach adds to the appeal, making it a highly praised aspect of the property.
Comfort
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the property warm, safe, and accommodating. The ample space and cosy atmosphere contribute to a relaxing experience, although one mention of a howling window suggests a slight room for improvement.
Facilities
Facilities are generally regarded as excellent, with a well-equipped property and thoughtful touches. However, some guests noted issues with key safes, bin collection, and over-engineered appliances, indicating room for minor enhancements.
Thoughtfulness
The property is appreciated for thoughtful gestures like a welcoming cake and milk in the fridge. While such gifts are warmly received, it's important to note they are offered at the owner's discretion and may not be a consistent feature.
About this property
The Old Lifeboat House is both romantic and atmospheric. Step out onto the balcony, where the remains of the old lifeboat slipway can be seen in this beautiful south east corner of Anglesey, and hear the sound of seabirds, the salty smell of the sea and the mournful gong of Trwyn Du lighthouse. You might even be lucky enough to see a dolphin pod while relaxing on the balcony with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen area is a lovely bright and contemporary space. The living area has cane sofas and chairs and a wood burning stove with a dining table and chairs to seat 8 comfortably. The kitchen has an oven and hob, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and plenty of pots, pans, crockery and utensils.
French windows lead to the balcony which has lovely views and garden furniture.
The rear hallway has a door opening to the garden with a footpath down to the water’s edge.
A second cosy sitting room has two sofas and large, flat screen Smart TV and DVD player.
The washing machine is house in a cupboard in the front hall.
There is a ground floor twin bedroom and shower room with large shower cubicle, loo, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
Upstairs there is the master bedroom with king size bed and en-suite shower room with shower, loo, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. There is a further twin room upstairs and a family bathroom with large bath and hand held shower attachment, loo, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

Just a short drive will take you into the popular seaside town of Beaumaris. Enjoy it's many independent shops, cafés and restaurants or soak up some culture in the castle or Victorian gaol. If you can drag yourselves away from the sea views at this stunning holiday cottage, you will find there is so much to see and do on Anglesey.
The nature of the location of this property means that there are areas of cliff face and the sea is close by. Guests with young children need to be mindful of this.
Not suitable for those who have allergies to pets.
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the south-eastern corner of the Isle of Anglesey, Penmon looks out across the Menai Strait towards the magnificent mountains of Snowdonia. Close by is Puffin Island, where puffins do indeed nest. They, as well as seals and porpoises and many other water fowl can be viewed from a boat trip starting from Beaumaris. Heritage lovers will enjoy discovering the historic Penmon Priory, a 13th Century Augustinian House complete with its original holy well and curious dovecote. At Black Point, near the lighthouse, the Pilot House Cafe serves coffe, teas, lunches and ice creams. Nearby White Beach is a large pebble cove and the coastal path winds via a nature reserve and scenic cliff path all the way to the open sands of Red Wharf Bay. The village of Llangoed has a shop with Post Office counter. Picturesque Beaumaris has a 13th Century moated castle, a pier, small independent shops, a gallery, exhibitions and a wide choice of bars, cafes and restaurants.
