About this property
A delightful, end-terrace stone cottage in the hamlet of Llanfaethlu that has been lovingly renovated and styled by its current owners.

With an outdoor seating area, you can enjoy the sunshine and views towards the coast in the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside, relaxing with a cup of coffee or dining alfresco. In the village there is The Black Lion Inn, a Grade II listed 18th century country dining pub where you could stop for a refreshing drink, or go further afield and discover the 125 miles of coastal path around the island and the sandy coves and beaches around Church Bay where you can swim, sail, surf, and fish, and if you are lucky, you may even spot dolphins. For a hidden gem of a beach, Sandy Beach offers a wonderful day out for all of the family, mostly isolated with beautiful golden sands to build sandcastles and ice-cream to indulge in, it’s a wonderful treasure well-worth a visit.

We had a lovely holiday at Glasfryn the cottage was extremely clean and comfortable there was everything you could possibly need for your stay it was very well equipped we came here to avoid the fireworks at home as our dog is petrified of them and it was perfect we really enjoyed the peacefulness of Glasfryn with the only noise from the sheep in the surrounding fields our dog enjoyed his morning walks on the beach just a short drive away we would definitely recommend Glasfryn and hope to return some time

The house was super clean and had everything we needed. The garden was perfect for the dogs also. Great location for exploring, and relaxing in front of the log burner at night. We would definitely stay here again! Lisa & dogs, Leeds

Our party consisted of 2 adults, a 7 year old and a small dog. Lovely cottage on a quiet single lane road. Ample parking. Very well equipped. We had a BBQ on the first night and sat outside in the sunshine. Later during our stay, when the weather deteriorated, we were able to access our Netflix account on the TV to watch a film after our son was put to bed. Would recommend, we will be back.
