About this property
Resting in an idyllic position alongside the river, offering the ultimate accommodation for a family escape, Riverside House can be found sitting peacefully in Llanfechell, on the enchanting Isle of Anglesey. A beautiful whitewashed cottage in easy reach of both coastal and countryside attractions, there's no better choice for your escape to Wales. Enter onto the private driveway and take a moment to listen to the peaceful sounds of the stream, before making your way into the sitting room to unwind after your travels; light up the woodburning stove and sink into the corner sofa, or take some time to yourself with a good book in the corner of the room, the perfect way to begin each morning with a warming cup of coffee. Follow the cottage through into the impressive kitchen/diner, where everyone can gather together to keep the chef of the group company while they prepare a home-cooked treat for the group, the good range of appliances sure to make your holiday a breeze with the dishwasher and washer/dryer being wonderfully convenient. Moving up to the first floor you will be greeted by three equally as inviting bedrooms; take your pick from a spacious family room, home to a super-king-size bed being twin on request and bunk beds, a king-size with an en-suite shower room and a further king-size, all boasting their own televisions and crisp and clean linens, so you can watch all of your favourite shows from the comfort of the covers. Freshen up each morning with a refreshing shower in the family bathroom, or delve into luxury with a soak in the P-shaped bath before heading out to sit beside the river and watch the ducks swim amongst the beauty of nature. The property also benefits from an enclosed lawn and patio with a barbecue, so you can dine alfresco in the summer months while your canine companions play freely. The local village of Llanfechell is extremely peaceful and although modest, it offers a village store, a pub and café, so you can find all you could need for a self-catered stay just a short stroll away. Sitting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you can find wondrous walking routes and nature trails all around you, or for a relaxing day with your loved ones head to the golden sands of Cemaes Bay, the perfect place to watch the sunset. The Isle of Anglesey hosts a wide range of wonders which are all accessible via a scenic car journey, venture to Holyhead to discover its rich history, brilliant golf course and even ferries to Ireland so you can experience a Guinness in all its glory, or choose to venture to mainland Wales to discover the beauty of Snowdonia National Park, a must-see while in the area, choose to tackle Mount Snowdon with a steady stroll or a trickier ramble, with routes for all abilities, or take the railway to the top to experience the sights in a different way. In easy reach of so many wonderful attractions for all ages and tastes, Riverside House is a marvellous choice for your escape to Wales with your loved ones.
Llanfechell is a quaint village sitting in close reach of Cemaes Bay, on the northern tip of the Isle of Anglesey.

Janet
It had comfort and space and a super garden area. There were eight of us as well as a dog and it met all of our needs. The beach at Cemaes was a short drive and suitable for all. We loved the local cafe in the village, run by volunteers, the food and the hospitality was great. The pub and the shop were good too, and the local people were very friendly. We loved Anglesey, and will definitely visit again.

The house has everything you would need, a very well equipped kitchen and dining area. The lounge was beautiful and cosy and the bedrooms were all a good size. My only criticism would be that the beds were very soft and possibly a bit too bouncy which meant we didn't sleep very well but that is probably personal preference. We would definitely recommend and return. Thank you.
