About this property
Windygates holiday cottage is right on the main beach at Rhosneigr, commanding the most fabulous sea view across the bay to Rhoscolyn, Cymyran and round to the boat pool. On the west coast of Anglesey, this is a blissful location for guests of any age - whether you want to build a sand castle, get out on the water, or just wander around the shared garden and soak up the view.
"Dear Windygates, everyone just loves it. Right on the beach, the perfect seaside location, the house is comfy, welcoming, simple and lovely. Just relax and pop out for a morning dip!"
Simply furnished, all on one level, Windygates offers simple, cheerful beach accommodation. It is a delightful holiday cottage at any time of year - in winter, the open fire is lovely to come home to after a blustery walk on the beach; curl up with a cuppa and some toasted crumpets!

The location is great, However the flat is in need of a major refurb plus the kitchen is in the entrance way very cramped & narrow and the shower plus toilet is in a 'cupboard' & the sink is in the end of the corridor!!! The sink in the 'bathroom' and the kitchen did not get hot water for ages - I never managed to get hot water in the bathroom sink in the whole week. They both, as they are, need a seperate under sink hot water supply. But really the dinning area should be made into a proper bathroom and possibly kitchen. I would suggest the cost for a week in November is 40% more tha it is worth.The property could be amazing if modified & refurbed to a good standard. I wouild not return in the current condition even though I loved the beach etc.....
