Resting in an ideal position on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, Idan House is a wonderful semi-detached cottage, perfectly suited to a family escape to Wales. Settle down for the evening in the inviting living/dining area, cosied up to loved ones on the plush sofas as you watch a captivating movie on the impressive TV. Whip up a delectable meal in the kitchen/diner with the help of the many appliances that lie within, or head across to the utility just a few steps away, washing all of your sandy clothes ahead of another exciting day down by the seaside. Climb the staircase to the first floor and discover a smart and sophisticated shower room where you can wash away your worries, before grabbing your towels and retreating to one of the three beautiful bedrooms. The bedrooms consist of a double, a twin and a single, together providing space for up to five guests. Spend warm summer days out in the rear garden, as you take in your peaceful surroundings whilst basking in the sunshine, or head out to the front garden as you enjoy your morning cup of coffee before setting about your day.

Wander the green landscapes of Llys Rhosyr and Newborough Warren, as you venture down to the shores of Traeth Llanddwyn and admire views across to the picturesque Goleudy Tŵr Mawr. See Barclodiad y Gawres and Ty Newydd, or continue across to Rhosneigr where you can catch a wave at the sandy beach. Stop by the Anglesey Model Village and Transport Museum, or spend afternoons at attractions such as the Anglesey Sea Zoo, Foel Farm Park and GreenWood Family Park, a real hit with those travelling with children. Meet exotic wildlife at Pili Palas Nature World, or travel across to the town of Beaumaris and explore Beaumaris Gaol, Beaumaris Pier and the medieval fortress of Beaumaris Castle. Cross the waters to Holy Island and uncover the RSPB Elin's Tower and South Stack Lighthouse, or venture over to Eryri National Park (Snowdonia)
for an action-packed adventure exploring the countryside. Grab dinner and drinks in the heart of Newborough on return to your cottage, or pick up some ingredients from the local store and delight in a relaxing evening indoors. Experience Wales like never before on a stay at Idan House.

The house itself is located in a pretty quiet area. No nightly noise, very close to a shop and restaurant and of course one of the nicest beaches we visited. If you're planning on accessing the mountain hikes, most of them are within an hours drive. No issues whatsoever during our stay (other than the weather!). The owner popped by near the end of our stay to take out the recycling (which is encouraged and well organised) and was a very friendly and polite chap. Most of the do's and don'ts are helpfully signposted within the house and as long as the place is treated with respect you'll have a great stay. I would absolutely recommend the property and would definitely return.

It was well equipped, the only thing we didn't find was the hair dryer. Newborough was a good location to begin our walking and cycling excursions throughout the week, some direct from the house, others a short drive away. The secure back garden was good for storing our bikes and it was easy to use the free parking area just a few yards up the road for the extra car. The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, bread and welsh cakes was much appreciated.

The photos do not truly show how large and comfortable each of the rooms are. The house has all the amenities you would need when away from home and the owners left us a lovely welcome pack to start the visit. The beds are very firm but comfortable. The towels are large and thick. The garden - although not used - was lovely and I'm sure if we had the weather we would have sat outside to enjoy. The position is fantastic for visiting the amazing beach and forest at Newborough - its a 40 minute or 2 mile walk, but doable as it is mostly flat, or a 5 minute drive parking is £2 for 2 hours, followed by a fee for each hour after - you will not be disappointed by the visit. Across the road is a small but very welcoming pub, The White Lion, who do meals. And on the corner a small cafe and corner shop. It is a great base for visiting Anglesey, Caernarfon and Snowdon.
