About this property
Nestled just a short stroll from the beach, in the seaside village of Benllech, is this wonderfully appointed bungalow, H Jem. Well-equipped with all the amenities for a short stay, H Jem is an ideal base for a family wishing to getaway to the Isle of Anglesey. After a day on the beach, wash away the sand in the bathroom before relaxing in the lounge, equipped with a 50” Smart TV so you can enjoy a favourite movie together. Carry the conversation into the kitchen, fitted with contemporary units and appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine, so you won’t have to worry about bringing your whole wardrobe. If the weather is on your side, dine alfresco style at the patio furniture whilst your canine companion stretches their legs on the lawn. As you look to catch some rest, the master bedroom features a king-size bed and two twin rooms, ideally presented for a family getaway. When you’re ready to explore, there are many superb secluded sandy beaches at Benllech - a short walk from the bungalow is Traeth Benllech, offering generous expanses of inviting sand provide plenty of room for busy beach games, while the gently sloping shore is perfect for paddlers of all ages, and around the headland is Traeth Coch (Red Wharf Bay), a massive 10 square miles in all at low tide, with waders and wild fowl in residence throughout the year. Benllech is known for the beautiful Gwylfan Moelfre Seawatch, which overlooks the stunningly clear waters of the bay and is perfect for enjoying a peaceful day of fishing, swimming or simply relaxing in the sun. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, there are several restaurants, bars and takeaways in the village, including the popular Pebbles Bistro, The Breeze Hill and The Benllech. For seeking adventure, a scenic drive will bring you to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, filled with excellent walks, waterfalls and rambles into the wilderness. There’s plenty to look forward to during a holiday at H Jem, whatever time of year.
Benllech features a lovely, long, sandy beach that is popular with families, with a slipway for convenient access. A picnic area and a variety of stores and cafés along the beach, while the village centre has more shops, pubs, hotels, and restaurants. The hamlet itself is perfect for family holidays, while the rural location gives serenity and easy access to the coast, rural Anglesey, and, of course, the beautiful Snowdonia mountains.

Love the new kitchen doors. Only gripe was the back bedroom mattress, the centre spring feels close the coming through. Everything else was perfect as always, comfy, clean and very well equipped. Oh, unlocking and locking the front door is a nightmare.

Very comfortable bed, lots of wardrobe space and hangers provided. Very nice main room and comfortable. New bathroom, super shower, the magnifying mirror is magic. The bungalow is top clean, could do with a good spring clean and one of the windows in the main bedroom doesn't fully close so you can hear passing traffic and it lets the cold in. There was instructions for the central heating control but that wasn't working as possibly the boiler was switched off somewhere and the weather had changed so it was quite cold in the bedroom. But overall we enjoyed our stay at H Jem. Carolyn Marshall
