About this property
Resting paces away from the coast in the charming coastal village of Trearddur Bay, Anglesey is Glasfor Annex. This wonderful, dog-friendly annexe benefits from a welcoming, open-plan interior, two well-appointed bedrooms and handy off-road parking as well as an unbeatable location close to the coast, the golden shores of Trearddur Bay Beach and the myriad of attractions woven throughout the island; the perfect setting for couples, small families or friends looking for a coastal getaway with two of their beloved canine companions. Cross the threshold into your new holiday home where you can unwind in front of the warmth of the electric fire and flick on the Smart TV while the designated chef of the group rustles up a hearty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together at the table where you can reminisce on the memories you have created so far before heading to the first floor to catch up on some well-earned rest in either the double room with en-suite shower room or the twin with en-suite cloakroom. During the day take a short walk to Traeth Trearddur where you can while away sunny days upon its golden shores while admiring breath-taking views over the sea; while here be sure to stock up on all your self-catering essentials at the local store or treat your loved ones to a delicious meal out at The Inn at the Bay or the wonderful Ocean’s Edge Restaurant. Keen ramblers will be in their element thanks to the abundance of walking opportunities nearby, take to Porth Diana Wildlife Nature Reserve or head to Holyhead where you can join the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path which meanders through a plethora of charming coastal villages offering breath-taking views and endless attractions.

All this and more awaits at Glasfor Annex!
Trearddur Bay can be found on the western coast of Holy Island. It's stunning, with miles of fine sand beaches and rocky coves set against a backdrop of low grass (European Blue Flag). In the warmer months, most visitors flock to Holyhead for the excellent 18-hole links golf course and the abundance of watersports available there, including swimming, sailing, windsurfing, and diving. South Stack Lighthouse rspb Reserve offers world-class birdwatching, and there are numerous rock pools and cliff top walks to discover. Trearddur Bay has its own selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants, and the larger town of Holyhead is just a short drive away, where you can find even more options, such as a top-notch leisure centre, a picturesque waterfront, a marina, the world's second-longest breakwater, and thrilling ferry excursions to Dublin. In addition to the beautiful walks available in Holyhead Breakwater Country Park, the Maritime Museum in Holyhead also features a fantastic cafe. Newborough, with its beautiful woods and beach, and Beaumaris, with its historic town and castle, are both a short drive away. An excellent setting with many attractions nearby.

Julie
Right across the rd from the beach (and old house). It had everything you could possibly need. Within walking distance of central Treaddur. The only negative is the shower as the head is quite low and both hubby and I are 5.8 and 5.10. We will definitely be booking again

Not ideal for dogs really as it has no enclosed outside space.

Ideally located for a walk to the beach with shops, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Limited headroom upstairs especially in the shower if like me you are 6ft + but donât let that put you off - quite entertaining and gave us a laugh ⦠I managed to shower no problem. Steve the owner is very friendly and helpful if you need anything - otherwise he leaves you to do your own thing. A lovely quiet enjoyable stay with some beautiful scenery.
