Pentraeth is a small attractive village on the banks of the River Nodwydd on the north-east coast of Anglesey. It has a village church that dates back to the 12th century and is located between Llanddona beach and Red Wharf Bay, which has over 4.5 miles of sandy beach. Red Wharf Bay’s Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and provides safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. The large bay attracts a huge number of waterfowl and wading birds, including shell duck, grey plover, purple sandpipers, curlew, oystercatchers and dunlin. Only 6 miles away is the delightful medieval town of Beaumaris which boasts a 13th century moated castle, excellent shops, pubs, restaurants, bistros and museums, as well as a golf course and exciting pleasure boat and sea fishing trips. This is a great location on the east coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, yet only six minutes from the Britannia Bridge to access the mainland.

Craig
Really enjoyed our stay. Glad to see the slightly rotten patio has been replaced with a nice new composite one. Lovely house, very clean. It's in a remote location with incredible views and so peaceful Only two things I could say need to be looked at. Firstly a gate needs to be installed across the entrance to the cess pit area just to stop nosey dogs or children going in. The dishwasher tablet dispenser doesn't work.poperly but I got around that by just placing the tablet at the bottom of the washer before starting it. The lane to.the house as other have said needs to mentioned. If you have a low car it's needs to driven down with a great deal of caution. My Alfo Mito had few scrapes before we learned how to navigate it. Any MPV should be fine. Overall though we would love to stay again in the future.

We had a lovely stay and felt at home there. However the main problem we experienced was a very narrow track to drive up to the property and the hedges had not been cut back or maintained which resulted in our car being scratched each time we drove up and down the track. This put a downer on our holiday and was very frustrating. Due to this we will not be returning to the property again.

It was comfortable, spacious and we felt at home. There were no issues which detracted from our holiday but some matters we would like the owners to be aware of. Some maintenance points: Considerable leak on the bath tap in the family bathroom. Some loose and missing grout in the tiled floor of the ensuite bathroom. Batteries in the Hive thermostat showing as "red" Dishwasher does not release tablet from the dispenser. Some facility points: No readily accessible hooks for wet coats (necessary given the outdoor nature of the location and Welsh weather!) A coat stand would be a useful addition. Imbalance in crockery and cutlery, for example many glasses and small coffee cups, less full size mugs. Insufficient crockery and cutlery to efficiently use the dishwasher as it was not possible to accumulate dishes in the washer and have enough to use. All of these points are easily resolved and we would not in any way wish to detract from the overall quality of the house and the excellent holiday we had there.
