About this property

Inside, the open-plan living space has a kitchen area, along with a utility, with plenty of storage and everything you need for a self-catering stay. Prepare home-cooked meals with ease and savour family dinners around the table for four to plan your holiday adventures. Load up the dishwasher and washing machine before settling down in the sitting area, complete with cushioned seating, a Smart TV, and selection of games to keep the whole family entertained; why not start the electric fire on colder nights for added comfort? In the warmer months, make the most of your rural surroundings and head outdoors to your private patio to soak in the last of the evening sunshine as the little ones let off some steam with a ball game on the communal playing field or children's play area. Find your rest in the master bedroom with a king-size bed, ample storage, and a dressing table, along with an en-suite cloakroom, whilst the snug twin room is ideal for two little ones. Start your day with a refreshing rinse in the shower room, followed by sunny mornings spent in your enclosed garden, whilst you savour a cup of coffee on the picnic bench. Surrounded by countryside, Rhosybol is a lovely base to call home during your holiday, with the local Siop Y Paget to pick up essentials, and The Ring pub to stop for a drink and dinner; Drive north to the port town of Amlwch where the Copper Kingdom Centre, Clwb Golff Porth Llechog, and Amlwch Leisure Centre provide plenty to do, along with excellent eateries. Beautiful views of Llyn Alaw which is Anglesey's largest lake as well as taking a trip to Parys Mountain which is only a short drive from the property. Why not embark on an adventure at sea, whether that's a boat tour, diving, or Offshore Wreck Fishing? Be sure to pack your towels, buckets and spades for days along Anglesey's golden sands, such as Traeth Lligwy, Traeth Bychan, and Traeth Benllech close to Red Wharf Bay. Discover more local history at Beaumaris with its majestic, 13th-century Beaumaris Castle, Beaumaris Gaol, and a picturesque seafront and pier, whilst boat trips to Puffin Island are a must! Stop at Llangefni for Oriel Môn, housing local culture and heritage, plus scenic walks through The Dingle (Nant-y-Pandy) Nature Reserve, whilst the bustling town of Holyhead has coastal paths, the leading arts centre of Ucheldre Centre, and why not pair your Wales adventure with a day trip to Dublin? Alternatively, escape the hustle and bustle for wildlife watching, walking, and fishing at Breakwater Country Park (Parc Gwledig Morglawdd Caergybi) or Parc Arfordirol Penrhos Coastal Park. Choose The Lodge for your next action-packed, family holiday in Anglesey.
This picturesque Welsh village is 3 miles inland from the most northerly town in Wales, Amlwch, and borders the North Anglesey Heritage Coast. A mile away, on Parys Mountain, you can walk among the ruins of the world's largest copper mine from the 18th century. Amlwch's mediaeval harbour was a thriving port and is now a popular tourist destination. Beautiful sandy beaches and spectacular cliff top walks are all around this lovely island.

Kevin
It was beautifully furnished, with no expense spared, and everything we needed was there. The owners even added special touches to make us and the lad, our staffy x American bulldog, feel welcome. Look forward to our next visit - thank you so much.

Comfortable and clean. Plenty of walks available with the dogs and enclosed fields for them to run in. Owners friendly and easy to chat to. Only one drawback heating came on weird times of day but all in all a wonderful stay and would stay again and recommend to anybody .

Good secure area for a dog. A gate at the entrance to the lodge would make the area totally secure when opening the front door to the lodge . cooking facilities were excellent and the beds were comfortable.
