In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the northern tip of Anglesey, Llanfechell is a small community that is 1.5 miles from Cemaes Bay. The area is well-liked by geologists and archaeologists because of the rock formations at Mechell Mountain and the numerous ancient monuments scattered around, some of which are said to be among the oldest in the world. The ancient Parys Mountain copper mines, with their lunar-like landscape, are seven miles away. The village bar in Llanfechell offers traditional beers and a friendly atmosphere.

The purpose of our stay was to meet up with family on days and evenings out. Missing for me was âFull stand mirror, some form of lighting to do hair and makeup with a decent mirror not so high up on the wall (only place was on a set of tall drawers in a dark corner of the bedroom (first room on right of hall) no plug in the en-suite bathroom, reading light switch at side of bed in wrong position, you had to get out of your bed to switch ceiling reading light off or on. Needs a free standing reading lamp.) as I said was a lovely bungalow but some comforts missing for me.

Great to have good parking on drive. A comfortable stay, although the layout for watching the extra large tv screen is not ideal. We chose The Hawthorns as two of our party have mobility issues, and loved that it was a bungalow, with lots of options re bathrooms. However, it was disappointing that neither of the en-suite showers, or the separate bath has grab rails. Something that could be easily remedid. It might be worth mentioning that there are high steps both front and back entrances.

The bedrooms are a decent size and have a good size wardrobe and dresser in them. Two of the rooms are ensuite whilst the third bedroom has the main bathroom which also was of a good size and beautifully decorated. The Kitchen/Lounge/Diner was cosy for our group of Five adults and one dog, but it had everything we required to make our stay comfortable. The lack of a hair dryer in the property was missed as was blinds at the bedroom windows, to help with privacy when the curtains were open. I happily recommend this property to future holiday makers, but would add it is a little out of the way. Having said that it did not spoil our enjoyment of the house or the Island.
