“We have stayed in this lovely property several times, it's home from home for us and our two dogs.”

It's proximity to Newburgh forest and beaches makes it great for dog walking. A special mention to the well stocked and friendly corner shop. Thanks to the owners from us all.

“We had a great week, the cottage was lovely.”

Very comfy and clean. Lots of lovely walks and a good shop close by. We had a slight problem opening the key safe but it was probably just us. Could I suggest that Sykes add the street name to the cottage details please? (Pendfef Street)

Debra September 2024

“Lovely clean tidy cottage, thanks for the welcome pack, nice enclosed garden, everything home from home, very relaxing and comfortable, we enjoyed lots of walks with the dogs in the forest and on the beach and the weather was so nice all week.”

Local store was very useful, few minutes walk away. We will book again in the future!

- Debra, September 2024
Lisa July 2024

“Perfect cottage, cosy n well organised.”

Dog friendly with secure garden Great location, with parking, shop and a fabulous pub for food Beach short drive away.. really enjoyed our stay and the cottage felt like home

- Lisa, July 2024
Jill July 2024

“A lovely , well equipped cottage with a good ,private and safe garden for our dog to roam in.”

We really appreciated the welcome pack. There is a good corner shop just across the road that sells just about everything and a dog friendly pub selling meals. Round the corner from the cottage is the best fish and chip shop, gets busy ,so you may want to pre order. Would love to stay again in this little gem.

- Jill, July 2024
Ann June 2024

“Property is well equipped and nicely decorated.”

Beds are comfy. Unfortunately the outside let this property down. Great to keep your dogs in safely but the dining furniture rusty, sharp edges and shabby. The rattan furniture as seen in picture seems to have been replaced with plastic chairs and the cushions on arrival soaked through and took us 3 days to dry them out. Such a shame as this has the potential to be a great holiday let but the outside needs looking at.

- Ann, June 2024

Thanks so much for your feedback. We have now replaced the outdoor dining furniture. Unfortunately we had to replace the rattan furniture as it was damaged by previous guests which left it broken. Apologies that the previous guests did not put the cushions away in on of the garden storage boxes. Property Owner
Deborah June 2024

“Lovely cottage with completely enclosed garden.”

Very safe for our dog. Very well equipped cottage in a lovely part of Angelsey. Would recommend the local pub and chip shop. We will be back!

- Deborah, June 2024
Michael May 2024

“Lovely cottage, clean, well presented, well equipped.”

We found the sofas uncomfortable as they are rather low. The treats were a nice surprise, thank you.

- Michael, May 2024
Carole May 2024

“Cosy and well equipped cottage in a great position for exploring the island.”

The enclosed garden was excellent for our little dog. A stones throw away from an excellent shop, pub and chip shop. Parking though in a local car park, was not an issue. The only one small comment we would make is that the settees weren’t the comfiest, but it didn’t spoil our stay. Would definitely visit again.

- Carole, May 2024
Mervyn April 2024

“Another good stay at Rhianfa.”

Great for Newborough beach and easy access to Eryri. Happy to recommend. Merv and Denise, Bournemouth

- Mervyn, April 2024
Susan March 2024

“A lovely cottage well stocked with all the necessities of home.”

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location.

- Susan, March 2024
Victoria March 2024

“We had a lovely week at Rhianfa.”

Cosy, spotlessly clean cottage. Very close to our favourite beach. The enclosed garden was perfect for our 3 dogs. Previous guest had left some dog poop in the garden which I stood in, but that didn't detract from a great holiday. Thank you for having us

- Victoria, March 2024
Robert March 2024

“Clean and well equipped.”

Ideal property for dog owners, totally enclosed garden at rear of property. Good access to a number of local dog friendly beaches.

All in all not properly cleaned- cobwebs throughout- got bittin alot in bed so god knows if bedding was properly washed- could do with an upgrade on the couches

Paul December 2023

“Lovely cottage in a nice village.”

We were a party of three adults and two dogs and the cottage had plenty of room. Good enclosed rear garden so ideal for dogs. Despite being dog-friendly the cottage didn’t smell doggy at all and was very clean. Kitchen had everything we required and instructions left by the owners were comprehensive. We found the owners very easy to contact and very helpful. Newborough itself is a nice little village, there are a shop, a cafe and a very friendly pub approx. 100m from the cottage. The forest and stunning beach are a very short drive away.

- Paul, December 2023
Marjorie November 2023

“As always this cosy, comfortable property did not disappoint.”

The radiator in the lounge was not working so we had to learn how to use the wood burner, a new experience for us - the room warmed up very quickly once we’d got the hang of it. For us there were no downsides to Rhianfa and our two dogs appreciated the secure rear garden. The local shop and pub were within walking distance and the proprietors were very friendly. Thank you once again. We’ve booked for next year!

- Marjorie, November 2023
Gwilym November 2023

“Rhianfa was well provisioned and had everything needed for any length of stay.”

Heating was on at the identified times and the whole house was comfortable. The cottage was far larger than expected and this was a welcome bonus and easily catered for our 3 Labradors. The garden was totally secure and we had no worries of the dogs straying.

- Gwilym, November 2023
Melanie November 2023

“Beautiful cottage with great facilities.”

Comfy beds, great bathroom, plus downstairs w.c and utility Very well equipped, fantastic tv access and wifi Plenty of logs for the fire, very cosy. Excellent consideration for dogs including throws, toys etc. And the garden is very secure - literally, the only thing I would suggest is perhaps a sensor light for the garden so you can see the dogs when it goes dark - but that really is the only comment/suggestion! Really enjoyed our stay, close to newborough.

- Melanie, November 2023
Mandy October 2023

“Beautiful property, with everything you could want,a proper home from home, really clean, expensive bedding and gorgeous mattress.”

Downstairs toilet was a bonus which isn't in the write up. Garden beautiful and dog friendly. Even a gift of Welsh cakes and milk when we arrived. Manual was detailed particularly liked the local information including Drs ,vets and hospital . The cottage was a central point for sightseeing. The beach and forest at Newborough was beautiful and only 10 minutes drive. We have already recommended to family and friends.

- Mandy, October 2023
John September 2023

“Cottage lovely, comfortable, very well equipped.”

easy access to Newborough Forest where we spent most of the week as our dogs were with us and loved the walks. We like quiet holidays and this fitted the bill. A slight problem with the parking as we do bring quite a lot of stuff and it took several trips. Overall our holiday was good.

- John, September 2023
Andrew September 2023

“There was a big damp patch on the bedroom wall and damp patches downstairs.”

The cottage was lovely and traditional and the garden was excellent for the dogs. The shower had wood around the bottom of the base, which had rotten wood in the corner. Some of the radiators didn’t seem to work even when adjusting the thermostat on the affected radiators.

- Andrew, September 2023
Emily August 2023

“Beautiful cottage… photos online don’t do it justice!”

Great location with a children’s play area very close and newborough beach is beautiful. The cottage was generally very clean, the bathroom just needs a little work and there is a damp wall in the main bedroom but other than that it’s perfect. The added extras of now tv, dvds, board games, dog toys etc are a really lovely, homely touch as well as the welcome package on arrival. The garden is huge and is well maintained and fully enclosed for dogs and children. I will 100% be staying again and will definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Emily, August 2023
Fiona June 2023

“The front door lock is very stiff.”

We used the back door. The bedroom had a damp wall (adjacent to the shower so I think you have a leak. The property was beautiful and far exceeded our expectations, every single thing we needed had been anticipated and we had a wonderful time. Thank you

- Fiona, June 2023
Tim June 2023

“A lovely place, perfect for what we were looking for - the garden was ideal for the dogs as well!”

Only thing may be to consider a fan being available, and perhaps a blind for the window on the landing (one of our dogs was constantly keeping us up looking out there!). Also, a side note, the kitchen tap had dropped on the worktop when we arrived as it had been push back so it wasn’t above the sink - meant the welcome box was wet!!

- Tim, June 2023
Roger May 2023

“A quaint Welsh cottage with an enclosed garden ideal for dogs.”

Nicely fitted out with all you would need for any stay. Parking only 50 yards away. Very cosy and enjoyable.

- Roger, May 2023
Victoria May 2023

“The property is a lovely 2 story cottage that has a very good kitchen and toilet upstairs and downstairs which is handy.”

The gardens eating area is nice and there is a bbq which we were pleased at as we barbecued twice during our week. You are provided a cleaning kit which is nice and the only thing that annoyed me was they didn’t leave extra toilet rolls. The garden is enclosed for dogs and you’re provided plenty of wood for using the wood burner if you want to. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and would recommend to anyone considering.

- Victoria, May 2023
Mervyn May 2023

“Another enjoyable stay at Rhianfa.”

The cottage was clean and well equipped and is very well placed for Newborough Forest and local beaches. We've stayed here many times now and it didn't disappoint. Many thanks to the landlords. Would recommend to anyone looking for a property in the area. Merv and Denise May 2023

- Mervyn, May 2023
Karen April 2023

“Second visit to this property.”

Not a great welcome as had to clear up 4+ dog poos from garden on arrival, some had been there more than a day, obviously left from the previous occupants (you know who you are), despite reminders to clear up before leaving the property. Grass was very long and we (and our dog) didn't want to go on it. In general the property is looking sad and could do with some loving care and attention, chipped crockery, hole at base of shower entrance, paint peeling in bedroom, pads on dining chairs extremely stained and settees are saggy! Location however is great and the sun came out for us all the time we were there! Great walking on the beaches in the area.

- Karen, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. Apologies regarding the issue with dog poo in the garden. We have taken your feedback on board and have addressed all of the issues you raised with regard to the decor, chairs in dining room , and decor in bathroom. We have also replaced the cushions on the sofa so hopefully no more sagging. Again thanks for bringing these issues to our attention. Property Owner
Eve April 2023

The enclosed garden was great for our dogs.

- Eve, April 2023
Penny March 2023

“A lovely stay accept the couches were too low and very uncomfortable.”

... Great location, good access to other parts of Anglesey and Wales, Fantastic garden for the dogs.

- Penny, March 2023
Linda March 2023

“We had a wonderful 4 days away at Rhianfa.”

The cottage was very homely. The beds were amazing, really comfortable. It was warm which was very nice as outside was very wet. Garden very secure and had no fear letting them out on their own. The only downside is the sofas are very low and not easy to get up from with arthritic knees. Would love to go back sometime soon.

- Linda, March 2023
Justyna January 2023

“This little cottage has all what you need.”

I was surprised at the things left for us to enjoy the stay. We liked sp much that we are staying there again in February!

- Justyna, January 2023
David December 2022

“Rhianfa is a lovely cottage with a spacious enclosed back garden which was ideal for our dogs.”

It is spacious and cosy and had everything we needed. The property is also close to a large beach and forest which was excellent for long walks. The beds in rented accommodation can be hit and miss but we couldn't fault Rhianfa beds, lovely and comfy. A very enjoyable stay and would look forward to staying here again in the future

- David, December 2022
Michael December 2022

“Bulb in downstairs bathroom did not work.”

No kindling in the wood box so unable to use the log burner. Otherwise the place was excellent and suites are needs well.

- Michael, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Apologies for the issues you had during your stay. There are usually spare bulbs in the property so sorry if you were not able to locate these. Regarding the kindling, we provide logs free of charge but do not supply kindling. This can be purchased in the local shop. Property Owner
Marjorie November 2022

“We really love Rhianfa - a warm and cosy cottage, very well equipped and with the big enclosed garden at the rear is perfect for holidaying dogs too.”

We have booked again for next Winter and hope to return before that. Our only adverse comment (and it doesn’t stop us wanting to return} is that the property is in need of a little TLC. Please say Thank You on our behalf to the very thoughtful owner.

- Marjorie, November 2022

Thank you so much for your response. Since your last visit we have redecorated and addressed some of the minor issues raised by other guests so we hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

Mervyn September 2022

“Just back from an enjoyable week at Rhianfa commencing 16 September 2022.”

Stayed here a few times now and would be happy to recommend to anyone looking to rent in the area. Very well positioned for exploring Newborough beach and Forest. Easy access to surrounding beaches and Snowdonia. Property was very clean and well equipped. Many thanks again to the landlords. Merv and Denise

- Mervyn, September 2022
David August 2022

“A lovely cottage set in a great location.”

Newborough forest and beach are beautiful. Yes you do have to park over the road from the cottage but this is hardly any hardship. The garden is safe and secure for the dogs and very private. The cottage is tastefully decorated and has a lovely big kitchen with all the needed facilities. The beds are very comfy. Someone commented that there is no curtain across the hallway at the back of the house. I wouldn't worry about this as there is nobody overlooking the house from the back. Yes the front door does stick so I would just suggest you go in the back way and open the front door from inside, again hardly a hardship. We had a lovely stay here and I couldn't recommend it more. Very good for the price.

- David, August 2022
Bowsher August 2022

“Lovely cottage with absolutely everything you needed plenty of everything in the kitchen you may need.”

Plus everything was a pleasure to use because they were nice things. There is a dishwasher which I was so happy about as I normally spend a lot of time on holiday washing up. We had very limited space in our car but as bedding and towels were included ( which were lovely and clean and fresh) and there was a washing machine it meant we needed less . The garden is nice and secure for dogs and children although I was disappointed that the rattan furniture was not there because it looked like a lovely place to sit. The dustbin did not get emptied while we were there that was the only negative thing .

- Bowsher, August 2022
Brian July 2022

“Directions: There is no signpost to Newborough Forest at crossroads.”

Loading/Unloading: Double Yellow lines both sides of road! Front Door: Yale lock so stiff had to enter through rear door. Arrival: Arrived 2 hours after allotted time but shower base and toilet seat still wet. There is no privacy in the cottage - the windows overlooking the street should have venetian blinds. The window at the top of the stairs between the bedrooms and the bathroom has no curtain or blind - quite unbelievable. There are problems with the sink plug in the bathroom - lifting mechanism is rusty and does not operate, making it difficult to empty. The flush button on the downstairs toilet sticks in down position. Cleaning standard was exceptionally poor - lots of dust and dog hairs beside fridge and dust on lip of most skirting boards. The cutlery tray had food debris in several places. The grass on the lawn was very long (photo available) and clearly had not been cut for at least 2 weeks. Considering that we paid just under £1000.00 for this cottage, it was definitely not up to the required standard and we believe that if the owner has a conscience we should be granted a partial refund.

- Brian, July 2022

Apologies you had so many issues during your stay. The cottage has curtains on every window apart from the one at the top of the stairs which is in the main not overlooked. We have addressed the issue with the sink plug in the bathroom and also the problem with the downstairs toilet. We would have been more than happy to deal with your issues if you had contacted us during your stay. Property Owner
Tina June 2022

“Lovely cottage, great location amazing walks, straight from the door.”

The garden was perfect for the dogs and to relax with a coffee or glass of wine after a nice walk.

- Tina, June 2022
Lynn May 2022

“The only problem was the lack of parking at the house.”

Also had problem with bedroom door, which was resolved promptly but also couldn't get in front door so had to keep going round back. Back gate was not fit properly and struggled to open it. Nice property but didn't like where it was situated so wouldn't go again

- Lynn, May 2022
Mervyn April 2022

“Stayed for a week commencing 22 April 2022.”

This is our third stay at Rhianfa as we find it so well located and comfortable. The garden is well maintained and dog safe and the cottage is very well equipped. Recommended if your looking for easy access to Newborough beach. Slight issue this time with the cleaning upon arrival but easily resolved by ourselves and not consistent with our previous experiences here.We enjoyed our stay and happy to recommend to others.

- Mervyn, April 2022
Carol March 2022

“This is a lovely cottage, the garden is brilliant if you have dogs, high fences, very secure and amazing views over Snowdonia.”

Very well equipped, warm and cosy. Short drive to the fantastic Newborough forest and beaches. I would definitely book this cottage again.

- Carol, March 2022
Karen February 2022

“Property itself lovely and looked as advertised.”

Door to lounge missing as damaged by previous guests which impacted cosiness somewhat. There is no blind at top of stairs so had to put a towel to cover at night! Cottage could do with a good deep clean/painting ie skirting boards and damp water staining. Information book was out of date with things missing i.e. car park pass - so needs updating. Property next door is being renovated so noisy between 8am and 4pm as knocking down walls!. Great location though for beaches and forest.

- Karen, February 2022

Apologies for the issues you had during your stay. The information book has now been updated and we have addressed the deep cleaning issues with our change over team. The property has also been redecorated. Property Owner

Very comfortable, well equipped, clean and tidy. You made our January break warm and cosy.

- Anthony, January 2022
Nancy September 2021

“Lovely cottage, perfect for us with the dogs.”

Comfortable beds, much appreciated. Unfortunately some mess and damage done by previous visitors with dogs, this didn't detract from an enjoyable experience. Considering booking again

- Nancy, September 2021
Emma September 2021

“Great cottage, all the facilities you could wish for.”

Sadly the cottage wasn't clean at all, this really let it down as everything else was excellent.

- Emma, September 2021
Tracy September 2021

“Beautiful cottage very home from home well equipped and on a great location ...”

Beautiful cottage very home from home well equipped and on a great location would have booked for this year but I am not prepared to pay 30 % they are asking was only £20 last time I booked huge difference

- Tracy, September 2021
Mavis July 2021

“Accommodation was great, very comfortable.”

Just two things there was supposed to be a washing line and pole. There was not. I could not find them anyway and also a bigger drying frame would be been nice. Apart from that the dogs loved the garden, it was just the right size to watch them. We had a great holiday.

- Mavis, July 2021
Rosalind April 2021

“The cottage was very well equipped.”

Beds and sofas very comfortable. Nice enclosed garden for the dogs. Everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. Placed in a very good location for visiting places on Anglesey. Fantastic for Newborough beach and forest which the dogs loved. Owners provided welcome packs for guests and dogs which was very thoughtful. Will definitely return to this lovely stone cottage.

- Rosalind, April 2021
Nicola April 2021

“Beautiful cottage and garden.”

Ideally located t the beach. Loved everything about it. All the little extras were fab and everything has been thought about

- Nicola, April 2021
Mervyn April 2021

“Booked a week from 9 April 2021 but could only go for four nights from the 12th due to Covid travel restrictions if coming from England to Wales.”

This was our second stay at the property and very enjoyable. The landlords really do think of everything and it's extremely well equipped and dog friendly with dog treats supplied! It's very well situated for Newborough woods and beach and easy access to many great walking areas. Well kept garden which is fully enclosed and a real suntrap with glorious views into Snowdonia mountain range. We enjoyed our stay, albeit a short one, and will be booking again if plans permit! Happy to recommend to anyone thinking of staying in the area.

- Mervyn, April 2021
Heidi August 2020

“Although I say met expectations that is in regards to the facilities provided and the house is as stated on your webpage.”

The only complaint I have is the cleanliness of the house....considering there are a lot more procedures in place due to covid I felt the house was not as clean as it should be....bits all over the floor, dirty skirting boards, no one had moved the sofas to hoover under them and no bleach down the toilet. I felt that I needed to bleach everywhere before letting my family settle in.

- Heidi, August 2020
Rhian July 2020

“This cottage was lovely!”

Way better than any we have stayed in before. Good quality furniture, really comfortable layout, and tasteful decoration. The garden was great for the kids too!

- Rhian, July 2020
Anna July 2020

“Exceptionally well appointed kitchen with a beautiful view from the window down to the garden.”

The garden is lovely, a real sun trap with comfortable garden furniture and fully secure for dogs and children.

- Anna, July 2020
Philippa March 2020

“Lovely location & well equipped cottage with great outdoor space for our dog”

- Philippa, March 2020
Andrea February 2020

“This cottage is home from home.”

Considering it takes 3 dogs at a time, it's cleanliness is outstanding.such a great fi d when you want to holiday with 3 dogs. The log fire is lovely after a day's walking through the forest. Not that it's a feature I look for, but holidaying between 2 storms... The choice on TV was a great find. The beds are comfy, kitchen has everything you could need. We wouldn't hesitate to return. Best feature for us, was everything.... Especially how doggy orientated the place is. Worst feature? Having to leave.

- Andrea, February 2020
Nicola October 2019

“The standard of the cottage far exceeded our expectations.”

The quality of furnishings and decor were fabulous. Every piece of equipment was available total ‘home from home’. Beautiful and spacious garden with a view into the mountains. We would definitely book again

- Nicola, October 2019
Phillip September 2019

“Great property for us brill garden for our 2 dogs cottage very comfortable and clean with everything we would need very peaceful and quiet location lovely village 50 yards away with a well stocked mini market shop a good pub and a great fish and chip shop.”

beach and nature reserve less than 10 minutes away. major shops and supermarkets close by at banger and caernarfon . will definately be returning to this cottage.

- Phillip, September 2019
Clive June 2019

“This was our second year at this cottage so we knew what to expect.”

There were two issues; the shower cubicle looks horrible & the settees are very uncomfortable. Also the shrubs in the garden requires cutting back so you can walk down the path without getting your legs wet

- Clive, June 2019
Jill April 2019

“Had a lovely few days at Rhianfa, it was like home from home, everything you need is already there.”

Back garden is very safe for dogs and the bottom section of garden is very private, lovely and quiet, enjoyed a few peaceful hours there reading my book. There is a beautiful, clean beach and great forest walks for the dogs, about 10 mins drive from the cottage. The only small negative was I don't think it had been checked before we arrived, there were still dirty towels in the bathroom, but all in all still pretty tidy. There is a local shop, café and chippy. There is also a pub, but beware out of season it doesn't open every day and sometimes only a few hours at night. If you want a great breakfast, visit the automobile museum, lovely café, dogs allowed and a brill breakfast, only 5 mins down road. I would recommend this cottage and would certainly like to go back at some point.

- Jill, April 2019
Peter April 2019

“The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and the welcome pack was appreciated, we enjoyed the comfort and the back garden.”

The local pub was disappointing as was the fish and chips shop. The parking pass for the excellent beach was particularly useful and we used it several times. Overall a great cottage in a mediocre village although the easy access to all the island made it a great holiday and our dog really enjoyed the well signposted walks Cheers John and Adele

- Peter, April 2019
Stephen March 2019

“A gorgeous cottage supplied with everything you could need.”

Lovely decor, with range cooker ideal for evening party, garden has backdrop of Snowdonia, lots of visiting birds. Car park over the road which is very convenient, walk-in shower, tv with gadgets!, loved it totally. Local shop, cafe, fish & chip shop handy. Lots of things to do and not far to go to forest and beaches. Also doggie friendly. Struggled with key container (probably us!). Handy for Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and Pringles. Love all of Anglesey.

- Stephen, March 2019
Cheryl March 2019

“This cottage was paws-itively perfect!”

From the moment we entered, it was like being in a house straight out of the pages of Ideal Home magazine (I will definitely be pinching some design ideas!) The location is idyllic - the views from the back are stunning and just 5 minutes away is the wonderful Newborough forest. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need for both humans and canines - whatever the weather, there was something to do. If only it were available in September, we'd have booked it again. Sykes never fail to deliver with the quality of their pet-friendly accommodation and we thank all involved in making our holiday so great!

- Cheryl, March 2019
Stephanie February 2019

“Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable.”

Immaculately clean and dog friendly. Unexpected generous welcome pack including doggy treats. The owner provides excellent instructions about the cottage and area. A fantastic little find and highly recommended.

The property

Nestled in the very heart of the Welsh village of Newborough, is this traditional semi-detached cottage dating back to 1859, boasting a sleek finish.

This quaint little property rests on the fringes of the forest and dunes of the south-west corner of Anglesey, with access to many beautiful beaches close by, the ideal retreat to bring family and friends.

Take the time to chill out in the sitting room, there is much to entertain you with a Smart TV, DVD player and BOSE Bluetooth speakers available, to be enjoyed in front of the woodburning stove on a cold wintry evening.

When it comes to preparing a meal, the kitchen is well-appointed with everything required to conveniently assist your holiday break.

Picnic sets and cool bags are also available for those adventurous days out to the beach or national parks.

Stroll through to the dining room from the kitchen, where the large table provides enough room for four with space for a highchair if you have little ones.

The two double bedrooms resting on the first floor are accompanied by a modern-style bathroom, with contemporary fixtures contrasting beautifully with the exposed stone wall, adding a touch of character and a nod to its heritage.

The exterior boasts a fully enclosed garden which extends out to the rear and occupies two lovely sitting areas for you to choose where to sit and relax, while the kids run around with the dogs.

The views from the garden are simply marvellous, and on a clear day you can see down to the Menai Strait and even Snowdonia in the far distance.

Perhaps enjoy your breakfast out here one sunshine-filled morning.

There are books and guide maps available inside the cottage to help you decide where to visit during your stay.

Nearby, Llanddwyn Bay and Newborough Warren promise alternative days out, with fabulous beach and glorious wildlife to be explored.

The fun is simply never ending with many attractions to suit all tastes.

An exquisite retreat to make the most of.

About the location

NEWBOROUGH

Bangor 9 miles.

The small village of Newborough (Welsh spelling: Niwbwrch) lies on the edge of forests and dunes at the south west corner of Anglesey. Close by is Llanddwyn Bay, renowned as one of the finest beaches in Britain, ideal for swimming, canoeing, beachcombing and birdwatching or just relaxing! Behind the beach, the 1500 acre sand dune system of Newborough Warren is home to skylarks, meadow pipits and oyster catchers as well as toads and lizards and is protected as a National Nature Reserve. The Tan y Foel horse riding centre is within 3 miles of the village centre and Anglesey Sea Zoo, Foel Farm and the Anglesey Sea Salt are only a short drive away and make a fun day out for the whole family. Nearby Aberffraw is the home of the Anglesey racing track and will offer an exciting day.
