Location

The location is consistently lauded for its amazing views and the unique experience of being on an island. The seclusion during high tide is seen as a positive feature that enhances the bonding experience for groups.

Comfort

The property is described as comfortable and warm, with plenty of space for guests to socialise or find solitude. However, some guests found the mattresses and pillows lumpy, and the bathroom accessibility upstairs was a concern.

Facilities

Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and the neat grounds, but note that the property could benefit from additional kitchenware and attention to the barbecue area. Some areas of the house appear tired and in need of refurbishment.

When the tide is right, the bustling town on Menai Bridge is just paces away, packed with independent shops, cafés and great restaurants.

One of two bridges connecting Wales to the mainland is located in this charming town, which is situated right on the edge of the Isle of Anglesey. It's a terrific place to stay while on vacation and for touring this stunning island. The well-known Saint Tysilio, who is commemorated in the 15th-century St. Tysilio's Church, lived on Church Island, off the coast of Anglesey, during its long history, which can be learned about in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum. Menai Bridge itself has a good selection of stores, bars, and eateries. The Pili Palas butterfly palace, which is a favourite among families, as well as the breathtaking Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens are just a couple of the attractions that make this a great place for enjoyment.
