“Good value for money cottage with welcoming log basket ready to get the fire going and a bottle of bubbly, nice touches on arrival.”

Lovely little sandy bay 2 mins walk from cottage and Treaddur Bay few mins drive with great (but pricey!) chippy and shops, restaurants, etc. close to South Stack lighthouse which is worth a visit too. Tip: watch out for that low beam near the top of the stairs!

“We enjoyed a wonderful few days at Y Lleiaf!”

Everything about the cottage was just right plus the surrounding countryside and coastline were stunningly beautiful! Even the weather was bright and breezy after the day we arrived! We travelled by train to get there, so the following days we enjoyed walking along to the RSPB South Stack centre and to Trearddur Bay. The last day we explored Porth Dafarch Bay at high tide and low tide. A very therapeutic time!

- John, September 2024
Gerald September 2024

“Perfect for our needs.”

Nothing short with internal facilities. Great views towards the hills across and glimpses of the sea from the garden area. Ideally placed for a number of walks, for food shopping, eating out, and dipping in the sea. Great beach a few yards away. Very quiet and easy access. Highly recommended.

- Gerald, September 2024

“Superb, as always”

Bryn February 2024

“Had a lovely stay in this warm and cosy cottage,everything you need is at hand.”

Our week was lovely and quiet and as we were out walking everyday the hot bath was a real luxury for me. We will definitely book the cottage again as it was good value. Bryn Jones

“This cottage is a real gem.”

It’s a real home from home. A lot of thought has obviously gone into providing everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It’s beautifully decorated and furnished throughout. The beds are comfy. The views are really lovely and the log burner makes it all super cosy. The location is excellent for coastal walks and only 100yards from a beautiful little bay. There’s lots of places to eat and drink within a short drive and there’s a retail park just down the road. We had a lovely stay here and have already recommended it to lots of our friends and hope to come back ourselves.

- Lynn, January 2024

Hi, thanks so much for your lovely feedback! I do hope we welcome you at Y Lleiaf again x Property Owner
Patricia December 2023

“If you're looking for somewhere to totally chill then this place is perfect.”

We have stayed a few times now and will definitely go back again. It has everything you could need for a comfortable stay and is always really clean. Gorgeous views, lovely walks and a fabulous log burner to come back to, you really couldn't ask for more. Communication from the owner is also really good. I do think the double bed needs replacing as it gave us both back ache but it wouldn't stop us returning again.

- Patricia, December 2023
Clair October 2023

“Beautiful immaculately clean cottage in a stunning location.”

We’ve had the best break exploring the coastal path and gorgeous beaches. Cottage is warm and cosy with everything in the kitchen we needed for feeding our family, great shower, lovely log burner, good tv, fabulous views. The only downside, and reason it isn’t getting 5stars, was the double bed. It was so uncomfortable that I had to move to the couch after a couple of hours each night. It didn’t ruin our break though as I slept fine on the couch. Single beds where our children slept, were good. Neighbour very friendly and knowledgable about local area. Loved the rabbits visiting each morning. Having a brew with a view each morning was bliss. We’d love to return.

- Clair, October 2023
Theress September 2023

“Loved our stay!”

Such a superb location opposite the beach. Very quiet and peaceful. Very well equipped cottage and very cosy and clean. It is our second stay after 2 years. Noticed the kitchen had been refreshed. Be lovely if we could sit on the grassed area if garden chairs were provided as that is where the sun is in the evenings. But not sure if this is possible. Completely wound down during this holiday. Thank you

- Theress, September 2023
Clare August 2023

“This is our second visit to a brilliant property, the cottage is cosy and comfortable and the location is stunning!”

Dorothy August 2023

“This cottage is fabulous.”

We loved it, everything was perfect. I’m hoping to book it again next year. I took two children with me and being so close to such a lovely beach was just what we needed. Also plenty of outside space to run around. Very well equipped, and so cosy. Thankyou for a lovely holiday cottage

- Dorothy, August 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed it & so hope we can welcome you again X Property Owner

“Wonderful, comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Very welcoming and peaceful. Central to beautiful landmarks. 2 mins walk to Dafarch Bay was brilliant. Lovely and quiet at night.

Ian April 2023

“Very comfortable cottage in a peaceful location but not far from Holyhead.”

Close access to beaches and the coast path. The sheltered clothes lines were particularly useful.

- Ian, April 2023
Cheryl March 2023

“A lovely little cottage - we had a very comfortable stay.”

- Cheryl, March 2023
David March 2023

“The best of the properties.”

Every aspect catered for in an aesthetically pleasing way. The owner(s) have set a high standard. No clocks...excellent touch! Will return (New key safe an idea)

- David, March 2023
Julie March 2023

“Perfect 4 night stay in Y Lleiaf!”

The cottage was in a perfect location allowing us to walk the coastal path and access to gorgeous beaches. It was clean, comfortable and very cozy especially with the log burner. Will definitely be back to explore more of Anglesey .

- Julie, March 2023
Mark November 2022

“We had some reservations for booking so late in November.”

However we were very snug warm and comfortable despite the weather. The wood burning fire was amazing and we will be returning next year. The property was very clean and tidy. We went for several coastal walks. Amazing scenery and we even managed to come across a baby seal pup on an isolated cove. I would highly recommend visiting y lieiaf.

- Mark, November 2022
Richard October 2022

“Very clean and as described accommodation, beautiful views of the coast and Welsh mountains on a clear day.”

Two things holding me back from giving it top marks (which I imagine the owners aren't aware of the first?) A very slight smell of wee in the main downstairs bedroom at certain times of the day, I think I may have traced it to the bottom left dresser draw? Second, lots of blue bottles when the sun comes out, probably due to the positioning of the septic tank, one of the pesky bugers seemed to take a nibble on my leg. Other than that perfect location for a chilled break, very clean and contemporary accommodation with a nice homily feel.

- Richard, October 2022
Geoff September 2022

“A beautiful cottage with stunning views and a gorgeous little beach only 2 minutes walk away.”

Nicely furnished, a bottle of wine on the table was a lovely touch. Definitely will stay again

- Geoff, September 2022
Clare August 2022

“This is a fantastic cottage in a beautiful location.”

The cottage is comfortable and cosy and is really well equipped. We will definitely be staying here again!

- Clare, August 2022
Alexander July 2022

“We had a lovely stay in your beautiful holiday cottage.”

A really super holiday. We rarely revisit holiday accommodation, but in this case we are very likely to return in a few years time. The kitchen was really well equipped. As listed, the upstairs bedroom is better suited for children than adults, our teenage children found the beds a bit uncomfortable. A washing machine would have been handy. A thinner duvet for summer would be good.

- Alexander, July 2022
Ian June 2022

“What a wonderful holiday cottage, beautiful location, spotlessly clean, pretty and comfortable!”

Every possible need catered for, the kitchen had every appliance to be able to cook and enjoy home comforts. Tele was great, views of surrounding countryside stunning. Baby rabbits hopping around the carefully tendered gardens were a treat. Comfy bed, bathroom and although we didn’t have children with us on this visit the upstairs bedroom would be a real treat for them beautiful yet again! A really special holiday cottage, we will be back! Thank you

- Ian, June 2022
Norman April 2022

“Could benefit from a clock in the house, especially in the kitchen for timing cooking.”

Shower mat would be good to prevent slips, as you have to climb over the bath. (Fortunately we took our own). Otherwise, very well appointed and comfortable. Great location (Once the road closure is finished). Well recommended.

- Norman, April 2022
Patricia April 2022

“The cottage was absolutely spotless, really cosy and had everything we needed for a lovely break.”

The shower was fab, although the bathroom window would not close which was a bit breezy! A washing machine would have been helpfull, 3 clothes maidens but no washer ? None of these things would put us off booking again though as everything else was perfect, and the bottle of wine was much appreciated.

- Patricia, April 2022
Marilyn March 2022

“Wonderful week, very happy lovely little bay enjoyed local walks .”

Location perfect just what we wanted

- Marilyn, March 2022
Sean March 2022

“Arrived 14.”

3.22 to a lovely cottage with fabulous facilities. Two minutes walk to a beautiful cove with outstanding views. The cottage was everything we could ask for and we will definitely be back as soon as possible, everything was provided for, shower amazing and the bed oh so comfortable. Highly recommended, perfect little place to stay for peace and quiet,when can we move there.

- Sean, March 2022
Thelma January 2022

“The cottage was lovely and clean We were warm throughout our stay even though it was winter.”

The location perfect with beautiful scenery. Porth Dafarch is a lovely beach only a few meters away. The only reason we gave 4 stars.. there was no washing machine although this wasn’t a problem for us. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Thelma, January 2022
Helen October 2021

“Lovely cottage in a excellent location.”

Cosy with fire. Stayed a few times now and definitely coming back soon.

- Helen, October 2021
Ellisha September 2021

“Beautiful place to stay, we loved it.”

The location was incredible and we really felt away from everything which is exactly what we wanted. I loved how Nicky has thought of everything, the kitchen was very well equipped! Just a couple of downsides; there was no washing machine, it was quite rainy when we went and it would’ve been great to be able to wash our clothes. The water is on an immersion heater so if one of you fancies a bath it most likely has one shower left in it. If you’re a lover of wine, bring your own glasses as they’re very little. Thank you for a beautiful stay, we loved it and will 100% be coming back.

- Ellisha, September 2021
Jennifer September 2021

“Pleasantly surprised.”

Very comfortable and had some very nice, welcoming touches. Everything there needed. Really enjoyed our stay..

- Jennifer, September 2021
Rachael August 2021

“We had a great stay in Y Lleiaf cottage, it was very clean, well equipped & bigger than it seemed in the photos.”

The location was amazing, we loved being able to wander down to the lovely beach whenever we wanted & had a great time playing, BBQ’ing & sea kayaking there. Great views from the cottage & our children loved watching the bunnies in the garden. We’d definitely stay again.

- Rachael, August 2021
Doris August 2021

“Great location .”

Would benefit by having a washing machine. Acsess and parking difficult. Cottage lovely but would have liked better outdoor furniture .

- Doris, August 2021
Lisa August 2021

“Loved our stay and our accommodation - just could of done with a washing machine with being on a beach holiday and having children .”

But other than that absolutely perfect for us

- Lisa, August 2021
Keith June 2021

“We have stayed here before, perfect accommodation and perfect location - we will be back :-)”

- Keith, June 2021
Elizabeth June 2021

“The cottage is situated in a beautiful setting.”

3 minute walk to the beach and for us a easy and picturesque walk into Trearddur bay, which is beautiful. I think the cottage could benefit from a washing machine. Maybe have a step in the bathroom for when stepping out of the bath, as its quite a big step down. The communal gardens are lovely to sit in. Guests need to take their own outdoor chairs as none are provided. We had a great week exploring the surrounding areas by foot and we even had good conditions for walking up Snowdon. Snowdon is approximately a 45 minute drive away from the cottage. Would stay again.

- Elizabeth, June 2021
Lesley May 2021

“Holiday cottage is clean comfortable has lovely views and not far from the beach.”

Lots of lovely places to visit in the area.

- Lesley, May 2021
Hayley April 2021

“Location, fabulous.”

Definitely recommend for someone looking to take advantage of the sea, sand and countryside. Very much ‘out of the way’ of the hustle and bustle of typical seaside towns but with enough locally to keep you entertained. Cottage, beautiful - pictures don’t really do the cottage itself justice. Great find and another fab holiday booked with Sykes.

- Hayley, April 2021
Dorothy December 2020

“Amazing place with everything you need for a relaxing stay, stunning views,, well equipped, comfortable beds, ample parking, stress free from start to finish, will definitely be returning to this wonderful cottage.”

Thank you just what we needed.

- Dorothy, December 2020
Keith October 2020

“What a lovely place and what a location, absolutely fabulous, it's so good we have rebooked for next year!”

It was so relaxing - when you are sitting comfortably in the lounge - what you hear is absolutely nothing just pure silence. The views are fabulous and it's 2 minutes walk to the lovely beach - we watched heron catching fish, people swimming in the sea and paddle boarding. We couldn't get enough of the place. The kitchen has everything, although maybe a coffee pod machine would be useful. There are also plenty of restaurants in Trearddur Bay (1.7 miles away) to suit all tastes. Nicky has been a great help when we booked it at very short notice - well done and thanks again :-) We can't wait to return.

- Keith, October 2020

“This was our third or fourth stay at this lovely cottage.”

We had a small problem with the toilet, but this was sorted out almost instantly.

- Peter, September 2020
Christine August 2020

“Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Nearby beaches all swimming friendly and we particularly liked Trearddur Bay for the beach, cafes and eating out. A washing machine at the cottage would have been the icing on the cake in terms of facilities but otherwise we had everything we needed. Lovely spot all round, we very much enjoyed our week away in Anglesey. Thank you!

- Christine, August 2020
Stephen August 2020

“The cottage wasn’t clean at all when we arrived.”

There isn’t a washing machine, which we found extremely surprising for a cottage marketed for up to 5 people. There was no internet, despite this being advertised. No bathroom lights either. And the noisiest sofa to sit on in the world.

- Stephen, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We would have been very grateful to have had the chance to sort out these issues at the time had you let us know, since you will see from our other feedback that we take great pride in our fab cottage! 1. Apologies, this is very unusual (see other reviews) but absolutely not acceptable. Our housekeeper would have been keen to rectify any problems as she takes great pride in her work and receives consistently high reviews. Can I suggest you contact Owners or house keepers in future with any issues, the emergency contact details are listed on the Sykes's email. 2. Washing machine: the cottage is not listed as having a washing machine so this information was available to you prior to your booking. 3. Apologies the wifi wasn't working during your stay. We know now it had been affected by the recent dramatic storms. Once we were aware of the problem, we contacted Sky who are fixing a broadband issue with a line external to the cottage. 4. Bathroom light: the house keeper would happily have sorted the lightbulb had she known. 5.Apologies you found the sofa noisy. That is the first time we have had this complaint. We can now review it.

A March 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.”

We were warm and comfortable with everything we needed at hand. Sky TV plus another TV in the upstairs bedroom and good WiFi connection- quite important to us while we waited for the wind and rain to stop! Holy island itself has a wonderful coastline - the nearest beach ,only two minutes walk. We hope to return soon. Thank you Allen and Diane Kay

- A, March 2020
Glenda January 2020

“Fabulous location however photos a bit misleading as couldn't actually see the beach from the property, only 2 mins walk though.”

Really good base for exploring the area, lots of great walks and spectacular scenery.

Larissa December 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage was clean, comfortable, very well-equipped and in a wonderful location. New Year's on the beach - amazing!

- Larissa, December 2019
Sarah December 2019

“We have just returned from spending Christmas at this wonderful cottage.”

We (mainly our children!) were pleasantly surprised to find it had been decorated with a lovely tree and other bits to make it feel Christmassy. The cottage itself is very cosy, tastefully decorated and well equipped which made our stay comfortable. It’s in a great location with the beach literally a stones through from the door. We would definitely go back in the summer months to make use of the beach and explore more of the surrounding area. Highly recommended!

- Sarah, December 2019
Elaine November 2019

“The cottage is excellent, no matter what time of year you go.”

Very comfortable and in such a fantastic location. This was my third stay there and I’ll be going back.

- Elaine, November 2019
John October 2019

“A note for the owners, the double bed on the ground floor is uncomfortable and very noisy.”

Other than that the cottage was lovely.

- John, October 2019
Alison September 2019

“The cottage is ideally located a short walk up from the beach, and within a short drive of Holyhead's amenities.”

It is a very peaceful spot with fabulous views, and there are many places to visit within a 30 minute drive. We would recommend a walk around South Stack, the Maritime Museum in Holyhead, Beaumaris, the hidden garden Plas Cadnant near Menai Bridge, and a little distance beyond is Caernarfon and of course Snowdon. Y Lleiaf is beautifully furnished and we had much cottage envy. The room upstairs is set up for youngsters, and whilst there is a decent sized chest of drawers, there is nowhere to hang clothes, due to the restriction of the eaves. And anyone taller than 5' will need to mind the beam at the top of the stairs! The kitchen had everything we needed. It was great that the basics were available - tea towels, salt & pepper, dishwasher tablets, the sort of thing you could do without having to bring along. Plenty of pots, pans, crockery & utensils. The only thing we didn't have was a lid for the casserole dish, but we worked around it. The sandy beach is a hub of activity for canoes, kayaks and coasteering groups. That's not to say the beach is too busy to enjoy - it is a beautiful spot, a real sun trap, and there is a mobile catering van offering hot drinks and snacks most days run by very friendly people. There is a sign at the top of the steps saying "No dogs" but this is blatantly ignored, which could be a good or bad thing, depending on your own opinion. We would definitely stay again if we were out that way another time.

- Alison, September 2019
Peter August 2019

“A single nit-pick----the dustbins are too far from the kitchen.”

- Peter, August 2019
Joanne August 2019

“What a lovely little cottage in a perfect location!”

The cottage itself was super cute and it actually felt like we were staying in a friend’s place rather than a holiday let. You can tell the cottage is well loved and used by its owners. I loved the happy feel to it, with family photos on the wall and the beach style decor. There were lots of extras for us to use too, such as beach chairs, windbreak, kids scooters etc. A real beach home from home. The location was stunning and literally a minutes walk from Porth Dafarch beach, which we nicknamed ‘our cove’. We were lucky with the weather so my children had a great time snorkelling and kayaking there. Trearddur beach is only a couple of miles up the road, and is lovely. We had a nice meal in ‘The Black seal’ restaurant right on the beach. Rhosneigr beach, again very close by, and has a Newquay type feel to the place. Just beautiful. I would highly recommend a trip on the rib ride boat on the Menai Straits. Only again a short drive from the cottage. Perfect stay, thank you

- Joanne, August 2019

The coastal walks, sea views, clean beaches and the trip up the road to South Stack really made for an outstanding holiday.

Ruth February 2019

“We had a lovely time away, the cottage was right next to the beach which my little girl loved!”

The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Nikki the owner was very helpful before and during our stay. 5 stars!

- Ruth, February 2019
Elaine February 2019

“A perfect place in the winter months to get away from it all and just soak up the landscape, wildlife and then come back to the cottage, sit by the fire and relax.”

- Elaine, February 2019
Lydia January 2019

“Very cute little cottage, amazing location a 2 minute walk to the beach and coastal path.”

We had such a relaxing time, would love to go back in the summer. The photos do not do this property justice at all

- Lydia, January 2019
Angela December 2018

“We have just spent a magical Christmas at Y Lleiaf.”

Not only was the cottage cosy, comfortable and exactly as it is the photos, it was subtly decorated for Christmas when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped which made making Christmas dinner a breeze. The log burner kept us cosy and sky tv was a great bonus when we’d had enough of family games. The location was perfect for coastal walks and the kids loved the beach at the bottom of the hill.

- Angela, December 2018
Vicky December 2018

“Y Lleiaf was a comfortable and cosy cottage.”

The cottage had some outstanding views from the doorstep. Porth Dafarch beach is a minutes walk down the hill with a coastal paths which we really enjoyed. Thank you

- Vicky, December 2018
Amanda October 2018

“Perfect week, beautiful cottage with beautiful views , can’t wait to go back”

- Amanda, October 2018
Alex September 2018

“Really nice cottage.”

Generally well equipped although we would have preferred a washing machine to a dishwasher, and bizarrely, there were no table mats. The owner is incredibly helpful and confirmed the absence of table mats. Almost felt like buying him some! Scenery is to die for and supermarkets and restaurants are an easy short drive away. Thoroughly recommended.

- Alex, September 2018
Peter August 2018

“The cottage is superb.”

Parking (and turning the car around) was not as easy as last year, but not a real problem.

- Peter, August 2018
Sarah July 2018

“We stayed at Y Lleiaf for a week.”

It was spotlessly clean & beautifully decorated. The cottage was well equipped & comfortable. The location was fantastic with great views of the coastline & only 1 minute walk to the lovely Porth Dafarch beach. Trearddur Bay is a short drive away, has a beautiful beach & some lovely places to eat (we loved the Sea Shanty Cafe). Thank you for a great week!

- Sarah, July 2018
Veerle July 2018

“Het huisje ligt op een fantastische locatie: heel rustig, een ongelooflijk prachtig uitzicht, strand en kliffen op wandelafstand, gezellige restaurantjes (Trearddur) op drie minuutjes rijden, winkels (Holyhead) eveneens vlakbij.”

.. De inrichting is gezellig, alle benodigdheden zijn er! Een wasmachine jammer genoeg niet, maar in Holyhead is een prima wasserette met een behulpzame dame! We bleven 14 dagen in het huisje en hadden spijt dat het voorbij was! Absoluut een aanrader! Dankjewel ook aan Nicky voor de snelle communicatie en behulpzaamheid toen we dachten een dokter nodig te hebben!

Susan June 2018

“This is a gorgeous cottage in an idillic location.”

We have just spent a long weekend with our three young grandchildren and enjoyed every minute- it wasn't long enough! The cottage is equipped with everything you could think of, and more, all immaculately clean. The children particularly enjoyed a toybox of toys far more than those we had taken! Interior design is beautiful with sea-side themed accessories-very tasteful. We were lucky with the weather, it was glorious and so we didnt venture beyond the little cove (Porth Dafarch) just a two minute walk away and the nearby Trearddur beach a five minute drive away. Both lovely beaches but especially Trearddur Bay which was nicely busy but not overcrowded. A long stretch of clean yellow sand, perfect for sand-castles, paddling and sand-in-your-sandwiches picnics! The perfect type of simple old- fashioned holiday experiences that memories are made from! This cottage is by far the best holiday accomodation we have stayed in- we take the grand-children away at least twice a year so have had lots of experience from centre parcs to cottages to lodges. Would we recommend? Definately! Will we return? Yes, maybe off peak without the grandchildren so that we can explore the beautiful area and light the woodburning stove!

- Susan, June 2018
Damaris April 2018

“Y Lleiaf is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location with gorgeous views of the Anglesey headland.”

The cottage is really well equipped throughout and very comfortable, the log burner being a particular highlight! We enjoyed having the coastal footpath on our doorstep and the highlight was my birthday picnic tea on the beach across the road in the evening sunshine. 10/10 for both the cottage and its location on Anglesey - we will definitely be back and would highly recommend it.

- Damaris, April 2018
K February 2018

“Facilities in the cottage were great, you had everything you needed, but the general decoration both inside and out was in need of redoing, window seals were blown and the windows needed a clean.”

The dining suite was painted white and covered in dirty finger marks which didn't wipe off, it was ground in. Not sure if the owners were aware but one of the parking spaces was taken by a skip full of rubbish which made manoeuvring and parking a little difficult, also the skip was the first thing you saw through the lounge window rather than the view! We were a little disappointed with the cottage but nothing a really deep clean, lick of paint inside and out and removal of the skip wouldn't rectify.

- K, February 2018

The owner clearly has impeccable taste.

- Peter, September 2017
Steven December 2016

“Had a great time, a warm and well equipped cottage.”

Easy walk to the beach plus supermarket / restaurants not far away. Only issue was the stairs up to the loft room - care needed for small children / adults.

- Steven, December 2016
Micheal November 2016

“Didn't go for the weather at this time of year but the location did not let us down.”

Plenty of lovely walks then back to a cosy cottage with the log burner going just what you need for a few days to get away from the real world! Would stay again and have already recommended to friends and family!

- Micheal, November 2016
Helen September 2016

“We could not fault the cottage.”

Excellent facilities except perhaps the use of a washing machine beautifully clean and well furnished excellent location. Would not hesitate to book this cottage again.

“The cottage was extremely comfortable, spacious and the location was out of this world, with beautiful scenery and a hidden gem of a beach practically on our doorstep.”

I would definitely recommend this property.

“The cottage was really well situated to the beach and really quiet.”

It was easy to keep warm and was well equipped, especially the kitchen. We also appreciated the fact that the cottage had wifi and parking right outside. I wish we'd booked for longer!

“The cottage is of a very high standard and the decor and furnishings are very good quality.”

The nice seaside touches inside make it even better and very homely and it was extremely well equipped for cooking. A beautiful cottage in a stunning area that we would highly recommend! A great walk to South Stack along the coastal path. You will not be disappointed and will leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and wanting to return soon.

The property

Trearddur Bay 1.7 miles.

In a superb coastal location, 200 yards from the award-winning Porth Dafarch Blue Flag beach, on the south western coast of picturesque Anglesey, is this delightful end-terrace cottage, offering the perfect base for a family looking for adventure activities on the doorstep.

The cottage is very well equipped and decorated with coastal charm and style throughout, and is set in large communal lawns with undisturbed country views along the coast.

As soon as you enter you will see the attention to detail that the owners have added, with a fitted kitchen, which has a dishwasher, slow cooker and coffee maker, along with a character Welsh dresser.

The kitchen opens into a welcoming and stylish sitting room with extending dining table, furnished with a comfy three-seater sofa and snuggle chair located in front of the atmospheric free-standing woodburning stove, where you will want to curl up with a good book and your favourite drink and relax into the evening with the family around you.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor opposite the family bathroom, whilst the first floor has been cleverly converted to offer a family room with three single beds, which is somewhere the children will want to make their own, with their own TV away from the adults.

Outside this lovely cottage is a shared gravelled parking area with seven other cottages, and there are communal lawns to the front, whilst to the rear there’s an open communal barn with covered storage facilities for bikes if required.

A National Trust beach is less than two minutes’ walk and can be seen from the cottage; it has been voted by The Times as one of the best in the UK and offers a sheltered cove and sandy shores, with intriguing rock pools and craggy headlands.

There is a launching slipway for dinghies and canoes and the beach is popular with scuba divers exploring nearby wrecks, including the famous Missouri Steamer, which sunk in 1886.

With the Anglesey Coastal Path passing right by the bay, you can walk along the coast into popular Trearddur Bay for a spot of lunch at one of the many excellent restaurants before meandering back to this delightful coastal cottage.

About the location

TREARDDUR BAY

Holyhead 2 miles.

Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of Holy Island. It’s truly beautiful - a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine sandy beaches (European Blue Flag). Watersports, bathing, sailing and windsurfing are the main activities in the summer months and golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course. It’s a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve and lots of rock pools and cliff top walks to explore. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, an interesting harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. The Maritime Museum in Holyhead has an excellent cafe and the beautiful Holyhead Breakwater Country Park has walks for you to enjoy. Further afield there is the stunning Newborough with its excellent woodland and beach and Beaumaris with its town and castle. A great location with plenty to see and do!
