    It was just perfect for us. The owner was welcoming and friendly. The views, sunset and area was so tranquil. We aim to revisit

  • "We had a great week here and our 4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s loved it too."

    There is a small beach a few minutes drive away from the cottage that we visited most mornings and the views from the cottage were beautiful! The garden was enclosed and perfect for our girls and we arrived to wine, biscuits, coffee and milk in the fridge which added that extra special touch. Our host greeted us on arrival and wasn’t phased by the barking of our very excited dogs and was always around should we need her. We were concerned that the other 2 cottages on either side of us would hear our dogs barking but when we spoke to the ‘neighbours’ they didn’t hear a peep as the walls are so thick. We will definitely be back! Thanks for having us!

  • "Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere, great for us and our four dogs because we like the peace, not so good if you like the pub or eating out."

    The cottage itself was nice, it provided everything one needs, plus a nice welcome pack (fresh milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine …nice), the bathroom extractor fan needs replacing (noisy and it struggles to start sometimes), a little general maintenance would do the property good (silicon around work tops and shower tray need attention. Would I go back…yes…probably (shame we both came down with covid on the first day).

    The variable weather didn't help the holiday but can't be helped. There were a lot of flies about but the owner kindly provided fly spray. I jarred my back part way through the week and found the settee a bit low afterwards.

  • "The only problems we found was that our labrador could jump the enclosed garden wall (not the owners fault), so we put her on a long lead and attached it to a stake in the grass, problem solved."

    The field opposite the cottages was ideal as both labradors could have a good run. There seemed to be so many flies so we purchased some fly spray. The cottage owner was so helpful and bought a shower chair to us as I am disabled. Would definitely go back Rob and Andrea Sloan

  • "This was our fourth visit so we are obviously very happy here and always enjoy our holiday."

    What others may find useful to know is that phone signal, internet and catch up tv are all quite limited. If you want to get away from technology it's great however if you need to be in constant contact with the outside world it could prove difficult. There is a DVD player so it could be a good idea to take a few films in case the weather is bad. Lovely clean, warm, comfortable cottage where we have always been made to feel very welcome.

    Wifi connection was good. Television was difficult to work at first but eventually sussed it out. The cottage owner was very friendly and helpful with welcome gifts including a bottle of wine. Cottage was a bit isolated and could have done with a local walk where we did not have to use the car. Enjoyable holiday with only one wet day.

  • "Very enjoyable stay."

    The cottage was lovely and clean and comfortable. It was spacious enough for my husband and I and our two dogs. The cottage is set on a farm with lovely views and is very relaxing. There is plenty of parking and it is situated 5 to 10 minutes from the A55 where you can soon reach other towns, villages and beaches. Holyhead is a little run down, however, we found the marina, penrhos coastal path and south stack were enjoyable places to visit. Overall our stay was excellent, our only gripe would be that sometimes there was only a trickle of water for the shower so we had to strategically work out the best time for showering. We would, however, definitely return again sometime.

  • "The cottage is fairly isolated which is not necessarily bad."

    It is not within walkable distance of a pub, shops, restaurants etc. The mobile phone signal is poor to non-existent and the wi-fi is variable in quality (maybe dependant on your adjoining neighbours usage). It is ideally sized for two folk (plus pet) and would recommend to others as long as caveats about communications are isolation are known. Anglesey as a whole was fantastic and well worth the visit.

    The cottage when we found it was very nice, and the owner was lovely, could have done with a little more cutlery and crockery we were in a one bedroom cottage for two and there was only two mugs and two cups three tea spoons. There was no freezer in the cottage, it was only by chance that we found the communal freezer in an out building when we heard the neighbours talking about it.

Other than that, everything needed for a relaxing break is here. Highly recommend this property.

    Host nice and left wine,biscuits and brought fresh eggs one morning. 5 min drive to a lovely beach/cove and accessible to rest of the island. Views are beautiful and we had great weather for the time of year. CONS : massive let down was the shower water pressure, it was a trickle at times and unacceptable. Such a shame as bathroom was stunning. TV needs replacing as colour kept going very dark , also to a smart tv so people can have a variety of things to watch too.

Bodwarren Farm

Holyhead 1.3 miles. These six lovely properties are set on the owners’ 70 acre working livestock farm, in a rural location, close to the town and ferry port of Holyhead on Anglesey. With stunning sea and mountain views that can be seen from the farm, these holiday homes are ideal for couples, families and friends with a number of attractions and places to visit within easy reach. Y Wennol and Y Wylan offer single-storey accommodation and both sleep two people, whilst Y Barcud and Bran Goesgoch sleep six each. Cysgod y Bugail and Llety'r Bugail are two delightful little shepherd's huts also sleeping two each. All properties share a courtyard area to park cars, and four have an enclosed garden with a lawned area, patio and furniture whilst the two huts provide peaceful decked balconies, a perfect setting to enjoy an alfresco dinner at the end of the day. Although these charming retreats are in quiet location, there’s something for everyone nearby, including a visit to the town of Holyhead which has remains of Roman town walls and forts, a colourful marina, maritime museum, shops and pubs. Holyhead is also a main ferry point for Ireland, so a day trip to Dublin may be on the cards! Also close by is the Breakwater Country Park, a former quarry, from where you may be able to spot seals who visit the Holyhead coast. Just over three miles away is the resort of Trearddur Bay, with its sandy beaches and watersports. Other places of interest are cliff top walks over Holyhead Mountain, and South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve is well worth a visit. All this and much, much more can enjoyed from these welcoming holiday homes.

About the location

HOLYHEAD

Trearddur Bay 3 miles.

The bustling town of Holyhead rests on the North West coast of the Isle of Anglesey, the largest town on the island and perhaps known best for being the main ferry port to Ireland. Steeped in history, the town boasts the remains of Roman town walls and forts, medieval burial chambers and stone village foundations. Explore the Breakwater Country Park, a former quarry, which offers designated walks through the grounds. The park is full of interesting wildlife, most notably the seals who visit the Holyhead coast, and outlines the amazing construction of the world's longest breakwater, some 1.8 miles, which today protects the harbour. Visit the colourful marina with its yachts and tall ships, or the town's maritime museum, with its tales of 100 shipwrecks in the vicinity. Day trips to Ireland can be enjoyed easily from here, with Dublin just 90 minutes away on the fast ferry. With spectacular cliff top walks over Holyhead Mountain, golden sandy beaches at the award winning Trearddur Bay and the Snowdonia National Park just a 20 minute drive away, this is a superb holiday location, at any time of the year.
