Guests say
Guests have praised Haul a Gwynt for its cleanliness, superb location near the beach, and secure garden for pets. The property is well-equipped and offers a comfortable stay, with a few minor maintenance issues noted. Some guests mentioned a welcome pack, adding a touch of thoughtfulness to their arrival.
The property is consistently described as clean and tidy. One review mentioned that the sofas were dirty and in need of repair, but this seems to be an isolated comment within the context of otherwise positive feedback on cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach and local amenities, with a secure garden for dogs. It is described as perfect and in a quiet setting, which guests appreciated.
Comfort received mixed reviews. While the property is generally found to be comfortable, there are comments about low beds and sofas being uncomfortable for elderly guests, and a lack of grab rails for the bath.
Facilities are well-regarded, but several reviews mention minor maintenance issues such as non-working lights and a need for clearer instructions for electrical items. Cooking items for baking were also suggested as an improvement.
While a welcome pack is mentioned positively in one review, there is insufficient information to determine if this is a consistent offering or a one-off occurrence. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, but the mention suggests some level of thoughtfulness.
About this property
This spacious, detached bungalow sits in a fabulous coastal setting in Trearddur Bay, Anglesey. Presented to a great standard with off-road parking and an enclosed garden, Haul a Gwynt is a great family home for up to six guests. After a day on the beach, wash away on the sand in the bathroom before retreating to the kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up a hearty dish with help from the gas oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. Gather at the dining table and enjoy the fruits of your labour before popping on the dishwasher and relaxing in the lounge. Step out to the garden and enjoy a moment on the patio furniture whilst your pooch stretches their legs. When it comes to catching your rest, three double bedrooms await, with the master occupying an en-suite shower room whilst the others are served by a family bathroom. This Anglesey location is spectacular, with Trearddur Bay being renowned for its sandy beaches, restaurants, various hotels and superb golf course, and the property itself is approximately a five minute stroll to the main beach of the Bay. Learn about the area’s history with a visit to the historic house and museum of Craig Y Mor, the Neolithic burial chamber of Trefignath and Tŷ Mawr Standing Stone. If adventure takes you further afield, embark to Holyhead which offers the Holyhead Maritime Museum, Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path as well as Breakwater Country Park where you can follow the scenic trails, birdwatch, and fish. With all this, plus the delights of Rhosneigr, Caernarfon and Bangor accessible in a scenic drive, there’s plenty of adventure to be had at Haul a Gwynt.
On the western side of Holy Island is Trearddur Bay. It's breathtaking, with a wide expanse of low grassland shoreline punctuated by rocky bays and fine sand beaches (European Blue Flag). In the summer, swimming, sailing, and windsurfing are the major activities, and golfers will appreciate the superb Holyhead 18-hole links course. It's a terrific location for nature enthusiasts with abundance of rock pools, cliff top treks, and renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse rspb Reserve. Trearddur Bay itself has stores, bars, and restaurants, but Holyhead, which is close by, has a bigger selection of services. These include a first-rate leisure facility, an eye-catching harbour front, a marina, the second-longest breakwater in the world, and thrilling ferry rides to Dublin. You can enjoy hikes in the lovely Holyhead Breakwater Country Park and a fantastic cafe at the Maritime Museum in Holyhead. The lovely Newborough, with its wonderful woodland and beach, and Beaumaris, with its town and castle, are both located further away. a fantastic location with lots to do and see!

Only 2 minute walk to beach and bar. Trearddur Bay is a beautiful place.

It was clean, well equipped and comfortable. However the location of Treaddur bay did not suit us as it was very difficult to find gluten free food for our celiac. However the beach was good and the sea clear. A long walk to the shops and the beach if you go the road way however there is a shortcut that luckily we were told about.
