Enjoyed the local pub and the fish and chips are excellent in the village , served as a great base for our days out and also as a place to chill for our 3 generations family break.

Location was amazing this was the highlight for us, being so close to the beach and harbour was perfect for the dogs and a very short walk to a few places to eat and shops. My only niggle and this is me being super picky is the gate at the back isnât completely enclosed if you have very small dogs, we just put the wheelie bins there and that stopped them from escaping, also little things like there was no washing up liquid left, no tin foil the shop was close by so it was fine to go grab it but the welcome hamper was super cute and we would definitely come back and recommend to friends and family

Their are 8 of us including 3 young children and the property was well set up and catered for us all. The hot tub is the cherry on the top of the holiday and we used it every single day, even in the drizzle. We walked the very short distance to the beach with the children and crabbed off the peer. We also frequented the local village pub for a meal at lunchtimes, and popped down to the village to buy a few bits and pieces. I love the area and it is only a short drive to all the beaches and places we love to visit on Anglesey. Well done and we hope to visit again.
