About this property

This striking white-washed holiday home rests a stone's throw away from the historic coastal town of Amlwch, on the sought-after Isle of Anglesey. Boasting a breath-taking contemporary interior and perfectly positioned to explore the delights of North Wales, Monarfon is the ideal base for your next group getaway! A paved pathway greets you at the foot of this remarkable dwelling, leading you through the beautifully-maintained front garden and up a small set of stone steps and into a charming hallway, providing a handy storage space to house your belongings away from the main living areas. Follow the wooden parquet flooring through to the sitting room, tastefully decorated with two elegant velour sofas and flooded with natural light welcomed in through the period bay window, enticing you to put your feet up and enjoy a moment of peace in front of the television, warming the room with the glow of the rustic woodburning stove in the cooler evenings. Be charmed by the spacious kitchen/diner, where the grand dining table takes centre stage in the sociable space; gather your loved ones together to recount the day's adventures, after making use of all of the modern amenities provided to ensure an enjoyable self-catering experience. Stepping outside, end each day in style with a luxurious soak amongst the bubbles in the hot tub, perfectly positioned in the south-facing garden, providing a lovely spot to bask in the tranquil setting of the evening sun as the little ones keep themselves entertained with a movie marathon in the snug conservatory. Completing the ground-floor is a delightful double bedroom benefiting from access to it's own stylish en-suite shower room, perfect for guests with limited mobility. Climb the staircase to the first floor where you'll find four further bedrooms all with their only TV, there is a triple room, providing the perfect space for the kids to enjoy sleepovers together, alongside three additional kingsize bedrooms, each featuring a contemporary monochromatic colour scheme for a timeless elegance, two of which benefit from access to their own en-suite. In the morning, kickstart your day with an invigorating rinse in the spacious walk-in shower in the gleaming family bathroom or add a touch of luxury to your stay and soak your muscles in the stylish roll-top bath resting atop the eye-catching Victorian tiles. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take the short stroll into the heart of Amlwch where you'll find a fantastic selection of eateries, serving a variety of delicious foods including home baked goods and traditional pub grub; head to the local butchers to pick up some fresh locally sourced produce to prepare in the comfort of your holiday home, or in true seaside tradition, indulge in a portion of fish and chips with a walk along the front. There's plenty to keep you entertained, with the Copper Kingdom Centre, once the largest copper mine in the world, telling the fascinating tail of how the small fishing village became one of the most industrious towns in Wales; lace up your walking boots and follow the heritage trail across the lunar landscape of Mynydd Parys Mountain, with views into the remains of the heart of the Volcano. Venture further afield and visit the popular tourist town of Menai Bridge, where you can marvel at the stunning architecture of the bridge as it towers over the Menai Strait aboard a super-fast RIB boat, or meet the quirky wildlife that call Pili Palas Nature World home, if you're lucky enough, you might even get to cuddle an adorable Kunekune pig. Whether you're looking to unwind or experience adventure, choose Monarfon as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.

Resting in the north eastern corner of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey rests the charming seaside town of Amlwch.
