Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy upon arrival. However, some guests noted the need for a deeper clean in the kitchen and the cleaning of windows. A few maintenance issues were mentioned, such as a damp smell in one bathroom.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, rural setting with spectacular views and proximity to local attractions. Guests appreciate the privacy and the ease of access to nearby shops and beaches, despite some initial difficulty in finding the property.
Guests have found the property to be comfortable, with special mentions of the underfloor heating, comfy beds, and spacious living areas. The layout allows for both socialising and privacy, catering to the needs of large groups and different age ranges.
The facilities, including the hot tub, games room, and outdoor amenities, are a hit with guests. However, some reviews point out maintenance issues such as non-locking doors, a leak, and the need for more kitchen equipment. The games room being cold in winter was also mentioned.
While many guests have expressed gratitude for the welcome gifts, including prosecco and Welsh cakes, there is not enough information to assess consistency or guarantee such gestures for future guests. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
About this property
Set in 10 acres of land and surrounded by 50 acres of Wetlands and Boardwalks in Talwrn near Llangefni, Anglesey is this bespoke, oak framed conversion of Hen Hafod. The property enjoys a rich history in Anglesey, as the original building dated back to the 13th century whilst also enjoying a rural setting and sitting above a site of special scientific interest; making for an ideal base for a multi-generational family or group of friends to explore this part of Wales. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by handy off-road parking for at least 8 cars. The property's interior is truly stunning, and you will notice this immediately upon entry, thanks to the oak accents and glazing throughout. After hanging your things in the entrance hall, take some time to admire the property's unique design, with the building wrapping around an attractive, central courtyard, which can be seen from all angles. Continue to the beautifully decorated open-plan living space, with the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams making the space a bright and charming spot to unwind in. The sitting area has been designed with relaxation in mind, with ample, plush seating settled in front of the Smart TV and woodburning stove. Progress through the L-shaped space to find an impressive kitchen that offers ample appliances, including double electric ovens, and two dishwashers, along with two kitchen islands, so the entire group can enjoy sumptuous meals during their stay. When a delectable meal has been whipped up, enjoy it as a quick bite at the breakfast bars or settle down for a feast with all the family at the dining area. In the evening, enjoy some entertainment in the second sitting room, or in the games room, with its table tennis and pool table. When sleep calls, choose between six fabulous bedrooms to savour a well-needed rest in, with one being a super-king-size that is not only zip/linked for your sleeping arrangements, but enjoys its own sitting area, along with another tastefully furnished super-king-size (zip/link), a king-size enjoying an en-suite shower room and a family room boasting a super-king-size, adjoining bunk bed and en-suite bathroom; the bathroom contains a show-stopping, floating bath that is perfect for a late-night soak! Completing the bedrooms are a double room, and a double bunk room that are ideal for the kids. You can also find a fantastic bathroom with quirky, colourful tiling that will leave you spoilt for choice when it comes to getting ready for the day ahead, thanks to its bath and separate walk-in shower. Concluding the property is a convenient utility offering laundry facilities. Make the most of the summer months and make your way out to the delightful courtyard with a book in hand, or venture out to the spacious garden which not only offers an array of seating options but a luxurious hot tub. Get to know your surroundings and explore the Cors Bodeilio National Nature Reserve, where birdwatching and hikes can be enjoyed, before continuing to Llangefni to find your amenities, an esteemed art gallery, Oriel Môn, as well as The Dingle Nature Reserve. Spend some time on the coast and visit Benllech, a large village boasting a sandy beach, where you can partake in surfing and sailing, before stopping in the Wendon Cafe for a spot of sea view dining. Continue to Red Wharf Bay, where St David's Leisure offers a spa for you to relish some pampering in, before enjoying a pint at the beachside Tavern on the Bay or simply sunbathing on the golden sands. Anglesey is home to a plethora of sights to see, so be sure to embark on the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path to see as many as possible, from the picturesque settlements of Beaumaris and Penmon, to Amlwch and Holyhead. For an excellent staycation with all your loved ones, choose Hen Hafod.

Hot tub was a lovely touch and the kitchen open plan was perfect for our stay and even had eggs, cakes, Prosecco on our arrival which was lovely. Few minor things like door handles not secure on a few rooms, not enough toilet roll etc. The road to the house was unexpected- like an off road track and a few who stayed got lost along the way. A sign by the main road would be handy for future guests. But the house is worth the drive up the track road. Would recommend and stay again!

What a place, it's huge. It's not advertised as wheelchair friendly, but it is. We had an electric chair user, with limited mobility and we could take her everywhere she wanted to go. There are some beds with bedframes that a mobile hoist can fit underneath (we took our own). Doors are plenty wide enough to get through, all on one level, no stairs or raised door frames. Underfloor heating keeps everywhere toasty. It's so tranquil with spectacular views too. We got an Asda delivery to save transporting our own food/drink. When in the living area you cannot hear from the bedrooms as it's built in a square with a courtyard in the middle. We absolutely love the place and we never got lost this time
