    1 of the best we’ve ever stayed at. The views were stunning and location perfect for exploring the area. We used it as a base for heading to Anglesey for Porth Wen brickworks and swimming, walking the coast path, heading to Llanberris to swim at Padarn, Llandudno for the whisky distillery and chocolate experience, Bangor and Caernarfon. The property had everything you could need and more. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and furnished. There was 6 of us staying; all adults but there was tons of space and privacy so we weren’t on top of each other. Lots of storage and provisions provided - fun evenings playing Cluedo and watching the sunset. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay.

    The weather was glorious,the views from the lounge terrace/balcony were beautiful.Just to sit and watch the boats/paddle boarders and wildlife was really quite something.The cottage had everything we needed.The kitchen was modern and well equipped with easily understood appliances ( instructions were in the easy read info the owners had left for guests ). There were only the 2 of us but to have 2 bathrooms was great.The information was correct the spiral staircase would have been difficult for some people but if you are careful it is easy enough. The cottage was spotless and the welcome pack was really appreciated.We would definitely book again and stay in such a great holiday home.

  • Peter

    There was a much appreciated welcome pack when we arrived. The views from the balcony over the Menai Strait are stunning in all weathers. Sitting out in the evening sun was amazing. Y FelinHeli is a lovely fishing village with some great places to eat and it’s a fantastic location for exploring Anglesey and North Wales. We would definitely stay here again.
