“We had a wonderful holiday at The Old Post Office!”

The situation of the property is beautiful and so well appointed to enjoy the views of the Bay. The property itself is lovely, with extra little touches like a welcome pack - there were even dog treats and toys! We will definitely stay again.

Michelle August 2024

“Lovely cosy welcoming cottage with everything you could ask for.”

The views and location were amazing and it was so lovely to be so close to the beach. The little enclosed patio seating area at the front was a good place to sit and have a morning coffee and our dog was quite content to sit and watch the world go by there. The Welcome basket was a nice touch with essentials in to begin your holiday. The parking at the rear was a bonus as it does get busy at the side of the cottage during the day when people are using the beach. We would love to return, this has been one of our favourite locations.

- Michelle, August 2024

Dear Michelle, What a wonderful review. Thank you so much. We do hope you will return soon. Best wishes to you all. Liz & family. Property Owner

Jan February 2024

“What a fabulous cottage!”

Perfectly equipped, perfectly positioned and perfect communication from Liz the owner. Beautifully clean throughout, lots of extras..well-stocked bookshelves and games cupboard. Lots of kitchen basics, oil, seasonings, washing up liquid etc. Fabulous walks in either direction along the coast path, great for seal and dolphin watching. We had a mixed bag of weather, loved watching the waves crash over the rocks whilst cosy and warm in the cottage sitting in the window seat. (My favourite spot)We did a great walk along the coast path to Porth Wen and back, just stunning. It took an hour and half each way.. with lots of stopping to admire the views and listen to the silence. You won't regret staying here any time of year.

- Jan, February 2024

Thank you Jan, for ALL your wonderful comments. We hope you'll come back again soon. Best wishes Liz & family Property Owner

Barbara December 2023

“Owner had gone to a lot of effort to provide a full festive welcome as it was the Christmas week we stayed.”

Very comfy, well equipped, thoughtful touches - beyond any other cottages we have stayed in. Area a delight as the sheltered bay and surrounding walks were literally accessible from the door. Highly recommended.

- Barbara, December 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'd also like to say, all your points ref the lights in the kitchen are now being looked in to. It was lovely to chat with you both. We hope you will come back soon. Property Owner

Lynette September 2023

“Super clean and comfortable cottage.”

Kitchen is compact but very well equipped with easy to use cooker and hob. Enjoyed watching the tides and kayakers from the window seat and from the patio - which is a real sun trap. Info provided helped us enjoy several walks both from the door and a short drive away. Thank you.

- Lynette, September 2023

Hello Mrs T, thank for your comments. We do try to cater for all. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

The cottage is really well located. It was comfortable and clean. The owners left milk, dog treats and dog beds which was great. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Hello , Thank you so much for your feedback. We are thrilled you had a wonderful time and that you would happily come back. Best wishes Liz & family Property Owner
Jackie June 2023

“The cottage had it all.”

Everything had been thought of. Stunning views and peacefulness all made for a lovely week. Out of the owner's control, but it did seem strange, to throw all rubbish in one bin, when we are so used to separating for recycling. Hope to visit again.

- Jackie, June 2023

Hello Jackie, you are correct totally out of my control . We are so pleased you had a super week and yes, we would love you to return. Take care Liz & family. Property Owner
Derek May 2023

Rhiannon March 2023

“We really enjoyed our week in your property.”

It was warm, comfortable and in an amazing location. We appreciated thoughtful touches like lamps and plenty of cushions and a generous welcome pack. We missed not having a freezer as this meant we had to shop more often. Other than this, a perfect holiday and we would love to return.

- Rhiannon, March 2023

Hello Rhiannon, I wish we had room in the cosy kitchen for one... However, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we do hope to see you back soon. Liz & family Property Owner
Derek February 2023

“This cottage is listed as outstanding, this very accurate, and the 4 ticks in my opinion should be 5 ticks.”

We have stayed in this cottage several times and will return later this year.. We have been holidaying in cottages for 30 + years and have yet to find a better one than that Old Post Office in Bull Bay

- Derek, February 2023

Thank you Derek and family for this wonderful review. We look forward to seeing you again soon. All the very best Liz and family. Property Owner

Amanda February 2023

“We had a great holiday and were lucky to have good weather.”

Fantastic cottage with everything you need and very dog friendly. Good walking straight from the doorstep for dolphin and seal spotting. Loved getting up to see the sunrise over Bull Bay. Only downside was that we couldn't adjust the shower temperature which was too hot for us, but at least it wasn't too cold and there was a bath. We will book again :)

- Amanda, February 2023

Amanda, thank you for the update ref the shower, we will ask the plumber to take another look at it... We hope to see you back soon. Liz & family. Property Owner
Derek November 2022

“This cottage really is one of the best we have ever stayed in , so comfortable warm ,and clean, fully marks to your housekeeper.”

Derek April 2022

“Once again we return to the Old Post Office, to find it is just as good as previous visits, one could say even better Sykes are certainly correct in listing this cottage as outstanding, the cottage provides everything that one could want for a restful holiday by the sea, the main bedroom is the only one where one can drift off to sleep watching the tide coming in.”

Definitely outstanding ! We must now wait until autumn to return. Well done owners x

- Derek, April 2022

Dear Derek, Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Liz and the team . Property Owner

Fantastic family home, great location with stunning views, the weather was very kind to us ( xmas & New Yr) we were able to sit outside on the front patio area, you could access the coastal path right from the cottage, only downside was there was no local pub or shop to walk to but that does not detract from the property itself

- Paul, December 2021

Hi Paul, thank you so much for this super review. Really sorry The Trecastle was closed due to covid I believe and yes a little shop would be useful... However, the views and walks are amazing. So pleased you all enjoyed. Liz Property Owner

“Fabulous cottage In an awesome location.”

We had the best time. Really dog friendly too.

- Jackie, August 2021
Roger June 2021

“The cottage was in a brilliant location and well appointed.”

A lovely quiet location, right on the bay and on the coastal path. We did however find the shower difficult to get hot water and was intermittent in this. A couple of items of crockery etc. had been put away dirty,but presumably this was down to the previous occupier. Other than that - a great week.

- Roger, June 2021

Deborah September 2020

“This is a fabulous little cottage in a beautiful location.”

The outlook across the bay is stunning and, with it being just a stone's throw from the front door, the dog could go for a swim every morning if he wanted. The cottage is well stocked and has good facilities - smart tv with Netflix; Amazon Echo and a tv in the master bedroom. It's in a quiet location and has plenty of parking space at the back of the cottage. Good value for money and would definitely recommend it.

- Deborah, September 2020
Katy July 2020

“Beautiful cottage by the sea- perfect for families to enjoy.”

Quiet, cozy and beautifully decorated. A little far out from the ‘hubbub’ of a seaside town if that’s what you’re after. But we had a wonderful week travelling the island .

The property

The Old Post Office is a delightful end of terrace cottage in a slightly elevated position in a stunning beachfront location, in the pretty village of Bull Bay on the Isle of Anglesey.

This lovely cottage enjoys fantastic uninterrupted sea views over the bay and rocky inlets and is perfect for couples, friends and families, where you'll feel immediately at home.

The accommodation is set over three levels, with the spacious sitting room boasting a modest dining area with banquette seating around the table and a picture window framing those fantastic views.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast or late supper and you'll be able to enjoy the ever changing vista and perhaps spot the odd dolphin if you're lucky.

The three bedrooms provide good family accommodation; wake up in the morning and no matter what the weather you'll be able to enjoy the wonderful views of the bay and sea from the double and twin rooms.

Outside this lovely cottage is an enclosed front patio area enjoying a sunny aspect, an ideal place to relax with a glass of something after a busy day on the beach, exploring one of the many coves, or walking one of the many walks on the renowned Anglesey Coastal Path which is right next to the cottage.

Follow the sun around to the rear paved terraced garden in the evening, or why not venture out to the hotel with bar, serving food in the village so you don't have to worry about planning any meals?

This little cove, which is also known as Porth Llechog (sheltered bay) to the locals is overlooked by the town of Amlwch, plenty of facilities close at hand.

Luckily for you , Bull Bay is entirely dog friendly , which means your dogs are allowed to run and play on the sands/pebbles at any time of year.

There are also plenty of activities that you can take part in, don't forget to bring your snorkel, wet suit, to dive of the rocks or walk through the rock pools and the opportunities for fishing are plentiful in and around the bay.

If you fancy launching your small boat, dingy, rib, or going kayaking, from Bull Bay , there is no launch charge.

An 18-hole golf course is just a short walk away, and the cottage is well placed for visiting the attractions of Anglesey, including Beaumaris, NT Plas Newydd and the watersports centre of Rhosneigr.

Head back to the mainland and spend a day in the mountains of Snowdonia, or hop onto a ferry at Holyhead for a day trip to Dublin.

This cottage is sure to delight and is an ideal base all year round for a relaxing holiday in an amazing coastal location.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
