Guests praise its well-equipped interior, stunning views, and tranquil location, ideal for those seeking relaxation and nature. While most found it clean and cosy, a few noted minor maintenance issues and the rural setting means shops and amenities require a drive.

Most guests found the property extremely clean and well presented, though a few mentioned spiders and a drain smell in one bathroom. These were exceptions rather than the norm.

All properties: Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. No smoking.. Situated in a quiet, rural part of Anglesey, this cluster of detached holiday properties are located at Melin Newydd windmill, which has been featured on Channel 4’s ’Restoration Man’ with George Clarke. The Windmill (ref 29567) has a lovely living area on the ground floor and a double bedroom on each of the first and second floors, from where a steep, space saver staircase leads up to a third floor living room with a balcony and fabulous views out over the surrounding countryside. Full of original features oozing character, The Windmill has been the subject of a simply stunning restoration, which makes this a cosy and quirky place to stay. Owl Cottage (ref 29569) features a conservatory living room, with picture windows opening to the fields, and two gallery bedrooms, whilst The Top Barn (ref 29568) is another barn conversion with lots of original features. These three properties are just a 10-minute drive from the delightful sandy beach at Rhosneigr - indeed, with 125 miles of coastline on the Isle of Anglesey you’re never far away from a beach or rocky cove to explore. A short distance away is the rspb reserve at South Stack near Holyhead, whilst children will love Foel Farm Park or Anglesey Sea Zoo at Brynsiencyn. The NT mansion of Plas Newydd is well worth a visit, as is pretty Beaumaris with its castle, whilst the mountains of Snowdonia can be easily reached back on the mainland. Beach 5 miles. Shop and pub 3 miles, restaurant 5 miles.

The windmill was a lovely and unusual place to stay in..a little remote location which we loved.. Everything was clear and spotless..surprised that each bedroom had its own shower and bath.Would definitely look to return in the near future..

We had a fantastic stay in the converted windmill. The hosts had thought of everything to make our stay very comfortable.It really feels a unique building and we were delighted to experience it.The mill is in open countryside and views from the top floor were amazing. Access to the upper floors is by spiral stair and finally to the 3rd floor by a "paddle" ladder, which added adventure to the evenings! It is in a quiet rural location.The nearest shops or any facilities are a 15-20 minute drive away in different directions, so we planned ahead for buying provisions.

Melin Newydd is a wonderful place, beautifully restored and superbly equipped, and in a lovely location in the Anglesey countryside. We loved our Easter break here and hope to be back again one day.
