The area we stayed in was beautiful. The property was excellent and the gentleman who met us at the property was very polite. It was an excellent holiday and will be staying there again the next time we holiday in Anglesey.

It was especially useful to have a good space by the door (in the conservatory) for hanging wet coats to dry and leaving muddy boots. The cottage is in a good location with wonderful views over the Menai Straits.
