Eight external steps lead up from the off road parking area onto a terraced patio where you can enjoy the sea views with a refreshing drink and a good book. Entering through the patio doors you step into the open plan living area, which has a kitchen with modern units and touch ceramic hob, welcoming dining area and comfy leather seating where you can relax into the evening after a day exploring the area.

Overlooking Anglesey so views where spectacular! Really great base to explore and on bus route so didn't have to drive (visitors should check out 3 day bus explorers ticket!). I noticed other comments saying they could hear owners above and we did at times but didn't bother us. Flat had everything you needed...if I had a very minor request it would be for shower mat in shower as could get slippy. But was brilliant and rebooked for next year!

Clean and roomy with an efficient kitchen and walk in shower. The bedroom was large clean and comfy with TV. On the small patio was a table and 2 chairs which were ideal for a nice glass of wine after seeing the North Wales scenery.

1. Bathroom not clean, hairs in shower and shower tray feels unstable. General bathroom areas not cleaned properly. 2. No hand towel. Bath towels bleach stained looked absolutely awful. 3. Outside light not working. Very dark on entering / exit with 8 steep steps. 4. Some kitchen pans need removing. Rusty. 5. I had to txt owners on my last night due to them moving furniture around at 10pm at night directly above my bedroom . Very noisey and quite thoughtless to paying guest at that time of night. All these issues easily rectifiable, with more attention to detail and better management of the let. Not my best stay in Wales and i stay often when visiting family.
