About this property
Found along a quiet track off the road to Moelfre is Gorwel, a marvellous country house, with spacious rooms and ample garden space, close by to the east coast of Anglesey. Perfectly suited for an annual family get-together with its five bedrooms, you will enjoy catching up and spending time with your loved ones, surrounded by the idyllic scenery. With windows overlooking the extensive garden, the kitchen area is bright and open, and you'll enjoy preparing a meal to serve on the farmhouse-style dining table seating all ten, perfect for some quality family time. The sitting room has three large sofas and a Smart TV, so after a long day of fun on the beach, kick back and stream a new release or maybe an old favourite. Benefiting from two ground-floor twin rooms and a large bathroom, this is ideal for ground floor living for those who need it, and there is also a helpful utility room which is home to all the appliances, and separate WC and basin. Upstairs, there are another three bedrooms, two being super king-size for added luxury, one of the bedrooms has a small sofa bed just outside, suitable for two small children, you will need to bring your own linen for the sofa bed. Two bathrooms and another separate WC and basin, along with a children's play room complete with Smart TV, books, games and a selection of toys for those rainy days indoors. The large garden is perfect for the children to play in while you relax on the seating on a warm summer day, while you plan the rest of the week's activities. The village of Moelfre offers lots to see and do with the main attraction being the long sandy beach, which will make you forget you're in North Wales with the bright blue sea and skies, you'd think you were in the South of France! Get out in the sea and enjoy some watersports like canoeing, kayaking, or even water-skiing, or if you like calmer activities this is a popular area for all kinds of anglers, especially with is being a former fishing village with a long maritime history. Isolated from the main village and roads, but close enough to be in easy reach of the coast, Gorwel will be a peaceful haven for you and your family.

Well equipped kitchen. Loved the large dinning table that allowed the whole family to eat together. The seating areas outside with view towards Llandudno with morning cup of tea was fabulous. The children absolutely loved the large garden space to run around & play. The childrenâs playroom was a real blessing to occupy the early risers! We did have problems with two showers but appreciated the quick response from Sykes holidays & the owners. The Sandy beach with cafe just 5mins drive was great for a family beach day & the coastal walk round to Anneâs pantry all highly recommended. Even the sun shone, thank you.

!! What a gem she found!! As a family of 8 ages 75 down to 5 it was PERFECT. The house itself was more than we could of asked for. Everyroom decorated to high standards, bathrooms (all 4) stunning. Not once did we feel on top of eachother plenty of different spaces to grab 5 mins to yourself if needed. The gardens and outdoor space were amazing, with 3 lively boys and the dog these were used daily. As someone mentioned non matching crockery we loved this as it made dishing up meals easier knowing who was having each plate! Perfect for exploring the island and secluded. Only downside was leaving! A personal message to owners is after a stressful 24hrs prior to arrival is your property made us forget all about it as soon as we walked through the front door it was like walking into a hug and we will all be coming back (for longer) sometime next year as so much more to see. Thankyou for the great memories made.
