One little thing was the ground floor bedroom door would not shut, and the lounge door into the porch did not stay shut.

It has everything that you needed for a lovely little break. We spent a bit of time at Cemaes Bay as this was the easiest place to get to with a few shops and bars. It was a shame that the Black Lion public house is not open anymore as we like to take the dog on nice walks from the base and unfortunately due to the roads around the area and there being no pub nearby we couldnât really do this. We did however have May nice walks on the Wales Coastal path and visited Rhosneigr and Trearddur Bay.
