Guests say
Little Gwaelod is a well-loved cottage praised for its cosy atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and convenient location. Guests have enjoyed the tranquillity, the proximity to beaches and attractions, and the warm welcome from the hosts. While some noted the decor and appliances could be updated, the charm and cleanliness of the cottage, along with its setting, have contributed to many enjoyable stays.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness such as dirty carpets and a mildew smell, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful, close to beaches, and convenient for exploring Anglesey. Its proximity to the A55 makes it an ideal base for travel.
Guests generally found the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable. Some negative comments about dated decor and furniture affect the score, but overall, the comfort level is satisfactory.
Facilities received mixed reviews. Positive remarks were made about the well-equipped cottage and gardens, but several guests noted that appliances and fixtures could benefit from updating, including the washing machine, fridge, and cooker.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
A pleasant Anglesey cottage adjoining the owner's home, on a 25-acre smallholding on the edge of Caergeiliog village, close to the beautiful west coast of this popular isle. Offering accommodation set only on the ground floor, this cosy cottage is surrounded by lovely gardens including a wildlife lake, and is a perfect location for a couple to enjoy a romantic break or an activity holiday. Nearby are wonderful sandy beaches and rocky coves including the magnificent Blue Flag sandy beach at Trearddur Bay, renowned for safe bathing, watersports, sailing and fishing, as well as excellent walking and golfing opportunities. Enjoy the island's wonderful scenery, medieval Beaumaris Castle, Plas Newydd National Trust house and gardens, excellent golf courses, the Anglesey Sea Zoo and day trips throughout neighbouring Snowdonia or Dublin. An ideal cottage for an enjoyable holiday, at any time of year.
The small settlement of Caergeiliog lies close to the scenic west coast of the Isle of Anglesey and is only five miles from Treaddur Bay, a popular seaside village. A great expanse of low, grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine sandy beaches make this area one of the most popular areas for visitors in Anglesey. With Blue Flag awarded beaches, the region is perfect for family seaside holidays and offers safe bathing facilities and a host of water sports for the more adventurous. During the summer months the area is a haven for sailing and windsurfing while golfers will enjoy the facilities at the excellent 18-hole course at Holyhead. Shops, pubs and restaurants are plentiful in the nearby villages of Valley and Trearddur Bay and Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, an interesting harbour front, a marina, the world's second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the fast ferry.

It was the cleanest, most comfortable place we have stayed at in North Wales. It is set in beautiful surroundings with lovely gardens and a lake. Tricia, the owner, is an absolute delight. We hope to be able to return.
