The glass writing desk is a great place to sit and write your postcards home. The kitchen is also spacious and well-equipped for preparing picnics, or tasty meals in the evenings.

Rosemary
Its very comfortable,I personally love the decor and the utility room is a godsend with having the dog but the main reason we book is the view and the proximity to the beach. Altogether an outstanding house.

Step outside the front door and you are immediately on the sand dunes leading to the beach. The property was very clean and well appointed with all the equipment needed. The settees were very comfy as were the beds and the property is handy for the centre of Rhosneigr. We would come agai
