The property was very clean in fact one of the cleanest we have been to. The raised garden has a view of the Menai Strait and, in April, was the best place to sit for the afternoon sun. We had a poor phone signal on O2 but could make calls on WiFi. If you are into golf bring some bats with you and look for Tyddyn Mawr golf course. 9 holes of very informal golf mostly par 3s over 200 yards. Only a few miles away. All in all a very pleasant holiday with lots of walking and chilled out evenings in the hot tub. The owner responded quickly to our couple of messages and came across as very pleasant and helpful. Thanks for the welcome pack. Would highly recommend.

..well equipped, very comfortable and very well maintained. It is in an excellent spot....peaceful, quiet and a short stroll into the village which has a great pub and a friendly local shop which stocks everything you could need! The location is handy for days out in any direction and the coastal path goes right past the house. We had a lovely week and were extremely lucky with the weather considering how bad it has been recently! The hot tub is perfect for a relaxing end to the day and we would definitely recommend this lodge.

The property was spotless and probably the most well equipped place we have stayed, the owners had thought of everything. Private parking outside which can only be entered via the electric gates, the only people passing where out walking the coastal path. I would definitely recommend.
