About this property
Nestled in the port town of Holyhead in Anglesey is this contemporary semi-detached house, Swn Y Nant. Enjoying a prime position alongside the Old Harbour and close to amenities, Swn Y Nant is a wonderful pet-friendly holiday home for a group or family of five, plus their two canine companions. Park-up on the driveway with space for two cars, before unloading your bags and stepping into your new home from home to begin your holiday. Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can look forward to relaxing on the plush seating as you select a family favourite from the Smart TV, with the added bonus of a SONOS speaker and soundbar for a cinematic experience. Whip up flavourful meals in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, ready to enjoy at the dining table for five. If the weather is nice, why not fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco out in the rear enclosed garden, as your pooches stretch their legs? Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom for your convenience. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can wash away the day with a relaxing soak in the bath or freshen up with a hot shower. When sleep calls, choose from three well-presented bedrooms, a king-size, a single and a bunk room, to catch your rest in ahead of a day of adventure. Explore the bustling town, where the keen walkers in your party can easily access the renowned 200-km Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, offering stunning scenery and breath-taking views. If you don’t feel like cooking, sample the local delights of the town, whether it’s a delicious pub lunch at Chester Inn or a takeaway from Dolphin Fish Bar ready to be enjoyed in the comfort of Swn Y Nant, there are a good selection of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets. If you fancy a memorable day trip, why not hop aboard a ferry and spend a day in Dublin? Those seeking a leisurely walk with a difference should visit the RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd, RSPB South Stack, where you can wander the cliff tops and spot rare species of birds and soak up the exceptional sea views. Be sure to check out Porth Dafarch for golden sands, the excellent Holyhead Golf Club, and the wildlife rich Breakwater Country Park, where you may be able to spot the resident seals who frequent the shores! The beautiful and award-winning beaches of Treaddur Bay are within easy reach and offers a delightful selection of eateries peppered around its picturesque bay, perfect for refuelling after day spent swimming or bathing. Thrill seekers can make the journey over to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, where they can enjoy the delights of Zip World or climb the famous Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) peak for incomparable sweeping views. All this and more awaits with a stay at Swn Y Nant.
On the northwestern coast of Anglesey, Holyhead is the island's major town and the island's primary ferry terminal to the Republic of Ireland. Ancient Roman and mediaeval burial chambers and stone village foundations abound in this historically rich town. Located in a disused quarry, the Breakwater Country Park features a number of walking trails.
Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy seeing the park's seals and learning about how the world's longest breakwater, at 1.8 miles, was built to safeguard Holyhead's harbour. Alternatively, the town's nautical museum, which features stories of more than a hundred nearby shipwrecks, and its colourful marina are both worthwhile stops. The swift ferry to Dublin is only 90 minutes distant from here, making it easy to take day trips to Ireland.

Rachel
Extremely clean and well presented. We were confused with the bins as when we looked online, the tin recycling bin should be a blue box, which there wasn't at the property. We used the Tesco recycling centre in the end. Only criticisms I would have is that there's no shaver socket in the bathroom (needed to charge our electric toothbrushes) and that we were very hot with the thick quilt on such a soft bed. However, the fact there was such great facilities such as a washing machine and dishwasher was amazing. Overall, we were extremely happy and would love to return back!

It was very clean and tastefully furnished. Had everything you could possibly need. Garden was perfect for us and our dog (very secure.) Very comfortable bed and quiet surroundings. We will definitely book again when we next visit Anglesey.

Everything you needed was there it was like being at home. Owners were very informative. Would highly recommend for a base to see Anglesey. We enjoyed:- Sea Kayaking, South Stack Puffing sightings, Langdon's for excellent meal and cycling along NCR5 to Bangor.
