This property was perfect. It had everything that we needed for the week and was in an ideal location. It is located on a small private road with stunning views over the sea and across towards Anglesey. We were able to travel easily to all of the places that we wanted to visit including Portmeirion and Anglesey. We visited many of the beaches around the peninsular, some recommend by the owner. Overall, we had a wonderful week and would book this property again.

The property has stunning views and is perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. Itâs a few minute walk to a stunning beach and beautiful clear sea water. It wasnât busy at all, although I imagine it gets busier in the peak of summer. We highly recommend this property & area.

Great stocked kitchen with plenty of cooking utensils etc Quiet location (even though itâs right on the coastal path) and walking distance to local beaches. We had a lovely week in lovely part of NorthWales. The owners live next door and are very friendly, on hand if you need anything.
