The interior decor is lovely, stylish and in keeping with a Coastal property. The Conservatory is Beautiful with lovely views over the spacious garden and countryside beyond. Private not over looked and a real âRetreatâ which we needed. The absolute 5star addition to Little Mead anre tge Owners Carole & Jonathan, fantastic communication, service and nothing was too much trouble anytime we needed them, very caring people. We rent extensively in Uk and around the world this is in our top 10. We will be back.

Very peaceful with a beautiful, sheltered garden which the sun shines on all day long. The cottage is spacious and the front room is especially comfortable with lovely, large settees. Around a 20 min walk to the beach, you can go the road way or there is a walk across the fields ( stunning views). South Stacks is nearby which is well worth a visit and is an area of outstanding beauty. The only thing I would say which is a negative about the cottage, is there isnât anywhere to place your â stuffâ in the bathroom - nowhere to hang clothes. So you end up putting things on the floor which gets wet from the shower. All in all, Little Mead is a lovely cottage and well worth a visit, It feels peaceful, is spacious ( for a family of five - 3 teenagers) and is situated on the stunning island of Anglesey :) Thank you for a lovely stay!

The garden is superb for little ones and the house is spacious and comfortable. The weather was even quite good for Angelsey and it was very relaxing to sit in the sunroom and bask a while. (You can close the doors and cut out all the noise from within!) The walk into Trearrdur Bay takes about 20 minutes but isn't too strenuous and a brilliant new Indian restaurant has just opened in the village. It takes about 5 minutes to drive to the vast shopping centre for the main supermarkets. A word too about the owner, Claire. She couldn't have been more helpful when we needed her. Little Mead comes 100% recommended by us!
