  • "A beautiful, spotlessly clean one bedroom, two bathroom annex set over two floors."

    The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for a self catering break. Peacefully quiet and stunning views from the property. We would certainly recommend this property for breaks away on Anglesey.

  • "Very clean and well presented."

    An ideal location for exploring the island. House owner was very attentive and helpful. Relaxing garden and patio area. Highly recommended.

  • "Fabulous location especially if you want a cycling holiday."

    We found different locations to cycle to every day, from beautiful beaches to great cafes and stunning scenery. The accommodation was perfect for 2 people. I loved the 2 bathrooms which was definitely a bonus. Lounge area was great with the patio doors that we opened fully every day just letting the outside in. The patio area is a sun trap and great for relaxing in after a day cycling. We were also able to store 2 e bikes safely although everyone we met said the crime rate is almost zero. The kitchen is small but has a large air fryer and a 2 ring electric hob you can plug in. Both were easy to use. We had amazing weather but it was very windy every day but wasn't a problem. The little vase of roses was a gorgeous bonus, thank you Wendy. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

  • "Overall a good place."

    We didn't have much contact with the host (and the phone number listed on the listing was not the correct one so she never got our initial text when we were hoping to coordinate our arrival). The space is nice, looked exactly as pictured. It was unseasonably cold so the host provided a stand heater since the central heating mechanisms were turned off for the summer so we moved that from room to room as needed. The only down side was that the internet was pretty slow and somewhat unreliable, so that was a bit of a hassle trying to do anything. Also, the location on Google Maps isn't quite right. Turn onto the street labeled "Parc" and go past the gate/trash cans and there's a small driveway leading to the residence. Other than those things, it was convenient and comfortable for our week long stay on Angelsey. Thank you!

    The accommodation was excellent with all the equipment needed to have an enjoyable holiday. The weather turned Cold for 2 or 3 days and the heating was put on for us which was great. The house is situated almost in the middle of the island so is a good location to visit the whole island. I hope we will be back.

  • "We recently stayed here as a base for our honeymoon and it was amazing!"

    It was a beautiful basecamp for our special holiday. The light and airy décor and the aesthetics of the garden area that was ours to use made it feel as if we were abroad rather than a staycation. It was a little slice of Costa del Anglesey. The facilities provided are the perfect balance of just enough to survive but not too fully functioning that you are encouraged to go out and explore and try the local eateries. Yes the owners are technically on site as the property is adjacent to their own but apart from a little hello at the beginning of our holiday they kept themselves out of they way and weren't intrusive at all allowing us our privacy and freedom to enjoy ourselves. I would say for a couple looking for a little escape this place was perfect. Beautifully romantic and very impressively well kept.

  • "The cottage was perfect for our needs."

    We ate in twice using the BBQ provided and ate out twice in a nearby restaurant. Although near a road, there was little nuisance from tragic The garden was lovely. Inside the house, having 2 bathrooms was great! The bed was extremely comfortable. The downstairs chairs were a little uncomfortable and it was unclear which bins outside were for general waste and recycling Also the house is hard to find and the sat nav thought it was house round the corner so it would have helped to have a sign outsideof the rental property not just the main property

    Set in the countryside, in the middle of the island, so visiting anywhere is really simple. The annexe has everything you need. Very clean and tidy, with wonderful seating areas outside. Parking on-site. A lot of time, thought, and effort has gone in to this property.

    Cottage was exactly as described. It was all fresh and clean, even the towels were white and fluffy. Nice surprise welcome pack. Lots of kitchen equipment provided, just no oven which we knew before we arrived and wasn’t a problem. The weather was a bit chilly but the owners adjusted the heating and it was cosy and warm. A bbq, fire pit and outdoor seating for warmer weather plus a washing machine. We had a great time, thanks very much.

  • "This property was in a very central location so ideal for exploring Anglesey, everywhere we went seemed to be about a 20 minute drive away!"

    It was very light, clean and airy and was ideal for the 2 of us for our 3 night stay. It was very well equipped, and spacious apart from the kitchen but thankfully we had seen that from other reviews. There is no proper cooker, just a 2 ring hob which is in the cupboard and a combi microwave so it was a bit of a struggle juggling everything to cook a meal. The images on the website aren't up to date as there is now a wooden kitchen trolley which was extremally useful, as well as a plate rack on the wall. It was a pity there was no freezer but again we knew this before we stayed, there was just an ice box in the fridge which never really got cold. The property is very private, we did occasionally hear the owners but never saw them which was actually a bit odd! We appreciated the jug of milk in the fridge and lovely chocolate cakes left for us! We would certainly stay there again for another short break.

  • "We had very warm welcome and enjoyed a fabulous week in this beautiful property."

    It is ideal for two people and being located in the centre of Anglesey all places are easy to reach. The large patio is the ideal spot to sit and look at the rural views and to enjoy a morning coffee or evening tipple! The only slightly negative comment I would make is that the kitchen area is very compact. However, all the equipment needed is there ( except a freezer) and with careful juggling meals can be prepared. The property was exceptionally clean and nothing was too much trouble for the owner. We both really enjoyed our stay and hope to return sometime.

    Spotlessly clean, everything is to a high standard and the owners, Bob and Wendy had just about thought of everything we would need to make our stay as comfortable as you could possibly get. They gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. The private patio area is well laid out with seating, wood burner and BBQ. We had many cosy evenings sat under the stars watching passing satellites and the odd shooting star. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Drws y Gorlan and will definitely be returning next year!

The property

Resting on the outskirts of Llanerch-y-medd, in the heart of the Isle of Anglesey, is this romantic semi-detached annex, Drws y Gorlan.

With far reaching country views, Drws y Gorlan is a scenic base within easy reach of some wonderful sandy beaches, ideal for couple seeking to explore the beauty of the Isle of Anglesey.

As you step into the property, you are welcomed by an open-plan living space with a quirky dining table to enjoy some breakfast before a day out and chairs so you enjoy an evening of television, and a kitchenette so you can prepare a picnic to take to the coast; load the slow cooker ahead of your day and return to the delectable scent of the fruits of your labour.

Take a few steps up to find the handy washing machine and the bathroom where you can soak in a bath or freshen up under the shower.

When the evening draws to a close, climb up to the first-floor where there is a double bedroom, with storage for guests to unpack and a stylish en-suite shower room for guests to have an extra bit of privacy.

Outside there is off-road parking on a shared driveway, and a private patio with furniture, barbeque and fire pit so you can enjoy an evening under the stars.

Take a short drive into Llanerch-y-medd to find a shop for any self-catering essentials, or two pubs, a café and a fish and chip shop for when you fancy eating out.

Whilst in the area, be sure to visit the stony landscape of Parys Mountain, home to a network of trails through the ancient copper mine that once produced more copper than any other mine across the world; follow the path to the top of the Great Opencast and take in the panoramic views across the colourful excavations, stretching as far as the peak of Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon) on a clear day.

With a plethora of walking, hiking and cycling trails on your doorstep, you're in an outdoor adventurer’s paradise!

Embark on a cycling adventure and follow the 36-mile circular tour of Route 566, known locally as Lôn Las Copr, passing the only working windmill in Wales en-route, or follow the Anglesey Coastal Path as it runs parallel along the dramatic coastline of the Isle of Anglesey through varying terrains including towering sand dunes, coastal heaths and ancient woodland, offering the best views of the unspoilt scenery decorating the sought-after isle.

Head towards the east coast to enjoy the pebbled beach and Old Fishermen's Cottages at Moelfre, or the sandy beaches and shorefront eateries at Benllech and Red Wharf Bay.

If you're looking for a two-footed adventure, take a scenic walk around the country paths and freshwater of Llyn Cefni and Llyn Alaw, or head for the hills of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park or the more local Mynydd Bodafon which is a great spot for a picnic.

Within driving distance, you can spend an afternoon up close with the animals at Pili Palas Nature World, discover the 13th century castle and Victorian jail at Beaumaris, or take a stroll around the wonderful Anglesey Model Village.

On your way back stop at the ancient woodland in Llangefni, with a dingle and an area filled with the rare and native Red Squirrel.

Enjoy everything that the Isle of Anglesey has to offer with your loved one, with the wonderful Drws y Gorlan as your base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
