Just four minutes walk from the golden sandy beaches and amenities of Benllech, this homely, detached cottage, set in a quiet cul-de-sac, offers great value, comfortable accommodation, providing a welcoming base for couples, friends or families seeking a fantastic seaside location. The sitting room runs the depth of the cottage and is comfortable and spacious with leather sofas and patio doors opening onto a small decked veranda, which overlooks the sunny enclosed rear garden. The veranda enjoys views of the sea, which can also be seen from the family bathroom and the bedroom at the back of the property. A central hallway leads off to the bright and airy dining room, with an archway through to a spacious fitted kitchen, providing a relaxing area for you to plan which exciting attraction to visit the next day. The first floor bedrooms are comfortable and well presented, and the main bedroom offers a king-size bed and a modern en-suite shower room, with a further stylish family bathroom serving the two other comfy bedrooms. The front garden is well maintained and offers ample off road parking, whilst the large rear lawned garden is lined with pretty beds and borders. An elevated patio area provides a sunny and shaded spot throughout the day, with ample garden furniture allowing you to soak up the morning sun or dine alfresco in the evening after an exciting day on the beach. The Anglesey Coastal Path runs through the village, opening up 125 miles of coastline with its wondrous clifftop paths, sheltered bays and hidden coves. Red Wharf Bay is a short drive away and offers a choice of delightful restaurants which overlook the historic harbour, while a short drive will take you to one of the many historic castles in the area, such as Beaumaris or Caernarfon, and the delights of Snowdonia can be reached within 30 minutes by car. With so much to offer in the area, this superbly-located Benllech cottage will have you returning time and again.

In cottage very warm and clean inside. Garden could do with tidy up but fine of year a lot of leaves so to be expected. House was clean warm with plenty of utensils. Could do with a dishwasher Disappointed no tea and cofffee left. Never had that before. Had a cake in fridge. Which was nice but a bit lonesome. Close to beach and great pub the bellech within walking distance. Would certainly go back

The standard of cleanliness and maintenance in this property in not to an acceptable standard. The floor in the lounge was not clean it had a lot of hair and sand on it. All the small tables in the lounge were dirty and sticky. The hall carpet was absolutely covered in hair. The oven was less than clean and the frying pans and dish drainer were rusty. Even after trying to clean them they were unusable. The shower drains were full of hair and other gunk causing them to drain very slowly, and smell. There are various damp issues especially in the lounge over the chimney breast. Mouse droppings were found in various rooms, lounge, kitchen, shower. The garden had overhanging brambles on the path. The seating area roof is bowed and looks unsafe. The balcony off the lounge is extremely slippy. The only good things about this property are the location and parking. I could not recommend this property in its current state to anybody.
