Mrs Salmond
We had the best holiday at Blochdy. The cottage was wonderful - a real home from home. The owner was lovely, kind and helpful. We were sorry to be going home, and will most definitely be back.

A lovely quirky cottage. Very clean, well equipped & very comfortable. The welcome pack was unexpected, but much appreciated. Eira made us feel very welcome. The cottage is in a perfect location - only a short car ride to Newborough Forest/Beach,which is a must, especially if you have a dog, or children. There is a view of Snowdon/Caernarfon Castle in the distance. A large secure garden which Luna (our Boxer) was most impressed with. The village pub is closed Mon to Weds, but pulls a lovely pint of Guinness. We will definitely be coming back to Blochdy!

We were very pleased overall. It was nice to have fast internet and a smart TV to watch You Tube, etc. We loved the views of the mountains over in North Wales. It was very quiet. We need hear a jet plane once or twice. We loved Newborough forest just down the road.
