Easily accessed and within reach of everything on Anglesey and the north of mainland Wales Good quality fittings. Our only problem is that we both have mobility issues and the step from outside to the twin bedroom and the step down to the lounge was difficult . Both these could be easily improved: adding another external step to the bedroom (ie 2 steps up) and another hang rail for going down / up between the kitchen area and the lounge would help, The bedside lamp in the double room was odd and there were no instructions. Couldn't use the bath as we couldn't safely get in. Maybe some steps? These would also help shorter guests reach the top of kitchen cupboards. Maybe baking tray could be added and even a plug in USB socket ... both very cheap. Would have hoped to see a mention of problems that might face people with mobility issues. Regards Patti
