Catherine
A lovely location with great views across the Menai Straits. Loved the raised decking area and viewing spot just above the cottage - pictures do not do it justice! Enjoyed the walk to the village. Well stocked with kitchen utensils and comfortable lounge and beds. Could benefit from a deep clean in places

As someone who gets up several times in the night, I did find the weight of the duvet hard to handle. It was good to find it cool to come back to after days out in the heat.
