The weather was glorious showcasing the beautiful view from the property. The owners house is very close, but we were unhindered. The only let down for us was the shower didnât get that hot, and it would have been good to have a tv in the kitchen diner. There is an Ariel on the wall, so presumably there has been a tv at some time. Some dishwasher tablets would have been nice( there was salt). Itâs very narrow on the lane to the property if not approaching from the village. We used the local pub for Sunday lunch , recommended. The property is very peaceful and quiet, lovely sunsets and no light pollution to help stargazing. Value for money for the view alone.

A great location for exploring Anglesey and the Lyn Peninsula. We had no wifi for 4 days but the owner was very responsive and tried to fix it. Would be great to have a few more leaflets about things to do in the area.
