Y Cwt is a charming, modern single-storey accommodation located in the small hamlet of Llanallgo near the coastal village of Moelfre on the Isle of Anglesey.
Perfect for couples, small families, or friends, this stylish retreat features an open-plan layout, countryside views, and is just a short (about a mile) walk from the beach.
Built in 2023, Y Cwt is an eco-conscious build made from SIP panels on screw pile foundations—an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional construction.
Its black corrugated steel cladding gives it the look of a contemporary agricultural building, complementing the nearby Ty’n Llan cottage, an 18th-century Grade II listed Welsh longhouse.
Guests arrive through a gated entrance, greeted by the satisfying crunch of gravel as they approach this sleek home.
Inside, the open-plan living space includes a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy dining area, and a comfortable lounge.
The utility area is handy for laundry and has a microwave for quick snacks, while the kitchen features an induction hob, oven, air fryer, and fridge.
Meals can be enjoyed around the dining table, and evenings are best spent relaxing on the sofa, watching a film or admiring the views through large windows.
The space is warm and welcoming, with engineered wooden floors and stylish furnishings throughout.
The contemporary shower room is ideal for freshening up after a day out, complete with a heated towel rail.
Guests can choose between a twin or king-size bedroom, both with wardrobes and access to the external deck area.
Mornings are best spent on the patio with a hot drink, soaking in the sunrise and countryside views.
Alfresco dining is perfect for making the most of the peaceful setting.
Moelfre itself is a picturesque former fishing village with a small shingle bay, a rich maritime history, and an active lifeboat station.
Anglesey is home to many beautiful beaches, each with its own character.
Lligwy offers golden sands and sea views, with parking, toilets, and a seasonal café.
Red Wharf Bay is ideal for walking and dining at the Boathouse or the Ship Inn.
Traeth Bychan is a sheltered bay with a sailing club and café, while Benllech Beach is a Blue Flag favourite for families.
For those exploring further, Newborough Beach and its neighbouring forest offer a scenic and rewarding day out.
Local attractions include the Moelfre RNLI Seawatch Centre, which shares the village’s lifeboat legacy, and St Gallgo’s Church in Llanallgo, directly opposite Ty’n Llan cottage.
The church is closely linked to the 1859 Royal Charter shipwreck, famously reported by a young Charles Dickens.
While several nearby properties claim to have hosted him, Ty’n Llan cottage—then a working farm and just across from the church—is a strong contender.
Anglesey has plenty more to offer, including a walk across the Menai Bridge, a visit to the Thomas Telford Centre, a boat ride on the Menai Straits, and a trip to the historic town of Beaumaris.
Y Cwt provides a welcoming base for discovering it all.
