There were 4 adults in our group, three generations, the cottage would have easily accommodated six people. The beach, is on the doorstep and great for morning or early evening strolls. The area is quiet but within walking distance of some great places to visit including the farm, aquarium and sea salt museum and factory. All places have somewhere to eat lovely food and beverages. Loads to do and see in and around Anglesey all accessible by car. Thank you for an amazing stay.
