About this property
Tucked away on a new development on the outskirts of Newborough rests this remarkable five-bedroom holiday home, 1 Gwel y Goedwig. Situated on the sought-after Isle of Anglesey, 1 Gwel y Goedwig is idyllically positioned for a group of both friends and family alike looking to explore this picturesque part of North Wales. Park up on your private driveway upon arrival, nestled at the foot of this striking abode, and make your way inside your new home-away-from-home, dusting off your sandy toes as you enter into the delightful hallway space. Venture through the property to the open-plan living space, flooded with natural light welcomed in through the stylish bifold doors, providing a lovely sociable space to enjoy a leisurely seat in front of the woodburning stove as you recount the days adventures over a glass of wine. Be charmed by the contemporary décor of the fully-equipped kitchen tucked away in the corner of the room, housing a range of modern amenities including a handy dishwasher so there's no time wasted doing the washing up; gather your guests together at the dining table to indulge in some long overdue quality time as the designated chef dishes out the fruits of their labour. Take your celebrations outdoors and venture out onto the decking to soak in the evening sun, enveloped in the peaceful woodland of the nearby Newborough Forest whilst the little ones keep themselves entertained in the games room. As the evening draws to a close, you're spoilt for choice between five beautifully-appointed bedrooms, each offering a zip/link feature for flexible sleeping arrangements, with a king-size along with a handy shower room resting on the ground-floor, ideal for guests with limited mobility, and four super-king-size rooms situated on the first floor, one of which benefits from it's own en-suite walk-in shower. In the morning, wake up with a luxurious soak in the elegant roll top bath, idyllically positioned in the contemporary family bathroom, and delve into the pages of a captivating book with a steaming cup of coffee, or if you'd prefer, jump in the shower for a quick morning rinse. Take a break from doing the cooking and take the short stroll into the heart of Newborough to treat your loved ones to a homecooked meal at the traditional village pub, The White Lion, where you can unwind with a refreshing pint of cask ale following an action-packed day, and if you time it right, you might catch a showing of live sport on the TV. Keep the group entertained with a visit to the Anglesey Transport Museum, showcasing vintage and collectable automobiles in a replica 1940's cobbled street setting, or venture further afield to discover the fascinating marine life at Anglesey Sea Zoo, home to a thrilling shark pool! Pack up your beach-going essentials and spend a fun-filled day at Traeth Llanddwyn, decorated in a stretch of beautiful golden sand and offering far-reaching views across the stunning coast toward Eryri (Snowdonia); dip your toes in the tranquil waters of the bay or stroll along the tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn to the lighthouses of Twr Bach and Twr Mawr. Discover the picturesque Isle of Anglesey with a stay at 1 Gwel y Goedwig.

Clothes dried quickly enough outside in the heat but in the wet / cold this would have caused problems for a group of 7 running /walking long distances every day. All else lovely once direct contact with owner established to deal with teething issues (random fire/smoke alarm & locating bedding for separation of beds ). Does take a very long while to get through to Sykes on phone hence assessment of agent above. E mail help address would help. Overall ,however, house & location lovely

The communal areas are lovely and generally well kitted out. The owner contacted us on our arrival day to say the bifold doors had been broken by a previous guest. As they are such a feature of the house this was disappointing, and quite stressful as the house gets warm in the sunshine so you want to open them and enjoy the view and fresh air. We could open the main door, but had to be extremely careful, keeping the bifolds shut all the time. I hope there is time inbetween bookings to get these fixed as they are a beautiful feature. A few minor things that would have improved our stay: Another small coffee table A bread knife The toilet seats need to be tightened up as they move about Bed in the main bedroom at rear has very creaky/boney with the springs (but not uncomfortable) We repaired the table tennis bats as the rubber was falling off both, there's several broken balls that need to be replaced. Downstairs bathroom smelled drainy, this should be checked out. Some cleaning products would be useful to have in the kitchen Overall though this is a gorgeous, comfortable, very modern house, in a fantastic location with great facilities. It's ideal for a family or friendship group as there's enough room for everyone to have their own space but also come together. Both Sykes and the owner respond quickly and constructively to any queries.

As a family, overall, we enjoyed our stay. However, some points for the owners to consider - there were campers at the end of the garden, a campsite to which we werenât aware of, so it put a little dampener on the view half way through our stay. The cleanliness wasnât up to a standard I would expect at a £2.5k per week property. There were spiders nests in the corners of the ceiling and dead flies in many of the corners of the house. Upon arrival, the windows and ledges clearly hadnât been cleaned in a long time which doesnât leave a good first impression of the property. The walls leading up the stairs were marked heavily with dirt scuffs. The gardens needed cutting; the grass being left uncut for some time. The beds were uncomfortable due to having single beds pushed together to make a double, again, not the comfort you would expect for the cost. The back doors were broken which left us wary of opening them and them breaking further - with this being a focul point of the property leading to the amazing back views, you want these in good working order. We enjoyed our stay and arenât the types of people to complain too much but my opinion is that for families to pay that amount of money, I would expect a cleaner home with things in full working order and more comfort in the bedrooms.
