It makes a wonderful home base for a holiday and is excellent for touring this stunning island. The well-known Saint Tysilio lived on Church Island, off the coast of Anglesey, in the 7th century, giving the 15th-century St. Tysilio's Church its name.

In terms of amusement, this is a great location with something for everyone. There is the magnificent Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens, which are well worth a stroll around, as well as the extremely well-liked butterfly palace, or "Pili Palas," which is especially popular with families.

    The welcome basket of essentials such as bread, milk, butter was also a nice touch. An excellent property in a tranquil location. There were only a couple of things which warrant a mention. Firstly, there is some mould in the kitchen window that needs attention. There were also some very, very old cobwebs in the small top window in the upstairs bedroom. However overall, my daughter and I had an excellent stay and would book again.

    Otherwise this is a very comfortable, well appointed property in a lovely setting and convenient for the many attractions of North Wales and Anglesey. We have stayed here before and the property did not disappoint on a second visit.

    The scenery is stunning and the apartment is spacious, clean and very comfy. The kitchen is beautiful and we all enjoyed spending time in it and cooking even though we were on holiday. The apartment is close to Beaumaris and Menai Bridge with many excellent places to eat. Wonderful. !!
