About this property
This detached property sits in a large plot within the village of Llandegfan on the delightful Isle of Anglesey. Enjoying beautiful views over the Straits and towards Snowdonia, Dolwyn is a magnificent abode for up to eight guests looking to explore the scenic splendour of Anglesey. After a day of meandering the coastline, retreat inside and make yourself at home in the living area, catching up on your favourite shows or planning the next adventure. Head into the kitchen, where you can impress the group with a home-made dish, before gathering at the dining table and celebrating to this North Wales retreat. Step outside and enjoy a moment in the enclosed garden before starting your evening routine in the bathroom. The bedrooms are situated upstairs and include three doubles and a triple bunk, plus there is a sleek shower room to serve them. Within the village there is a pub where you can reward yourself with a pint after a long hike, plus there is a convenience store for grabbing any essentials. Within two miles lies the town centre of Menai Bridge, where you will find a larger selection of places to eat and drink with something to suit all palettes and pockets, as well as a plethora of shops to browse. Whilst here, be sure to brush up on the local history by visiting the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum before taking a boat trip down the Strait to visit Church Island, home to the well-known Saint Tysilio. If you’re feeling adventurous, head to Menai outdoor activity centre and learn to windsurf, or venture deep into the Snowdonia National Park and scale the heights of Snowdon. Choose Dolwyn and experience the beauty of Anglesey and North Wales.
The charming Menai Straits and the mountains beyond are seen from the small settlement of Llandegfan, which is perched above their sloping banks. Wonderful Beaumaris, with its moated castle, unique shops, cafes, and pubs, is only three miles away. You may travel 3 miles in the opposite way to reach Menai Bridge, which has an iconic suspension bridge, lovely footpaths, and a range of dining options, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. The town has its own lake for coarse fishing and is conveniently located near a vast network of pathways. One favourite is to make the inclining descent to the Gazelle hotel for a pint.

Our daughter her family and our son and his family,plus Bella his dog stayed 2 nights ane we all enjoyed.My parents stayed one night too and my husband s family came on the Wednesday to have a buffet with us. The kitchen was a good size and had everything you needed for a weeks stay. Handy to have a bathroom downstairs and a shower room upstairs too. Great shower!!Hottub was REALLY great and very warm with plenty of room for all of us.So handy to have a washing machine and seperate dryer. Stairs had a gate at the bottom and top which was needed with the children and dog. Lovely fresh white sheets on beds. Great toy corner under the stairs- catered for the 2 year old up to my 8 year old grandchild who loved the lego. The welcome pack was unbelievable- full of welsh produce - TEA, FUDGE, WELSH CAKES, HALEN MON,BARA BRITH, SHORTBREAD, CHEESE, CHILLI CHUTNEY. So kind!! Location- so easy to find. Plenty of car park space. Safe garden at the rear of the house for the dog. Stunning views over to Bangor over to Bethesda and the quarries. Days out to Mynydd Parys, Penmon Lightouse, Porthwen to see the area near the sea where they used to make bricks, great sunday lunch at The Tavern on the bay, Stunning walk over the bech at Treaddur Bay where we had a lovely lunch at Sea Shanty restaurant,lovely afternoon tea at Chateux Rhianfa sitting near the open fire with an excellent Italian evening at Dylans at Menai Bridge. Thank you to the owners! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Don't hesitate to book. Great value too!!!!! And only 45 minutes from Criccieth our home.
