Overall, guests enjoyed the unique setting and found it a great base for exploring Anglesey and Beaumaris.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, but several mentioned issues such as lingering pet odours, cobwebs, unclean towels or bedding, and occasional lapses in cleaning between stays. These concerns were not universal but were noted by enough reviewers to impact the overall impression.
The location is widely praised for its peace, beautiful views, proximity to Beaumaris, and access to coastal walks and nature reserves. A few guests found the approach road and driveway challenging, but the setting itself is consistently described as a major highlight.
Guests loved the cosy atmosphere, open fire, and peaceful surroundings. However, the low ceilings, steep stairs, and low beds were challenging for some, especially those with mobility issues. Most found the beds comfortable, but a few struggled with the layout.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a standout sun room and garden. Some guests noted the lack of WiFi, washing machine, and limited kitchen storage or utensils. Maintenance issues such as tricky windows and driveway access were also mentioned.

About this property
A quirky and charming semi-detached cottage in a slightly elevated position in the hamlet of Glanrafon, on the outskirts of the village of Llangoed, just three miles from Beaumaris on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey.

The cottage has a wealth of character features, such as exposed beams, roof timbers and purlins, with the original part of the cottage dating back some 200 years.
The sitting room is welcoming and cosy and benefits from a warming open fire with a staircase up to the two double bedrooms which are charming with low doorways and sloping ceilings, so please mind your head! The shower room and cloakroom are modern and well-appointed, while the kitchen has a comfy dining area for a leisurely breakfast or a late supper. The paved patio and lawned garden is perfect for alfresco dining, or you can simply relax and enjoy the wonderful views and sunsets from the comfort of the detached sun room.

Cute cottage however, I slept in the sun room as the ceilings were too low upstairs and I kept bumping my head on the low beams. The view from the sun room is lovely. The property did smell of damp and it affected my husbands chest but as the weather was lovely we just kept the windows open to air the rooms. Be aware that satnav does take you to the wrong property, but a nice lady pointed us in the right direction. May be worth putting a sign on the side of the road?

We found the sitting room to have an unpleasant odour throughout, damp or dog? The two double beds were not as described, mattresses' on a low wooded platform. Had it not been for the pull out beds in the sun room, we would have been unable to stay.

The beds too low, appreciate as the ceilings are low but again not good for disabled people. Property lovely, beautiful surroundings so peaceful. Sadly had to sleep in the summerhouse due to my disability so not brilliant. Kitchen very basic, a welcome basket would be a nice touch.
