About this property
This stylish first floor apartment is in an enviable location, just 200 yards from the coast and enjoying delightful sea views, 0.5 miles from the main beach and village amenities of Trearddur Bay, on the ever popular Isle of Anglesey. As soon as you enter from the small communal hallway you will appreciate the coastal styling, driftwood flooring and attention to detail the owners have put into making this property welcoming and homely. The living space is bright and airy, with an open plan dining area creating a lovely social area to sit and relax over coffee and the morning papers whilst planning the days entertainment. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with solid beech block worktop and breakfast bar to sit and keep the chef entertained as they prepare tasty home cooked meals, whilst the sitting room offers a fantastic relaxation area, enjoying a full height picture window with views across to the sea. A full wall mural of Llandwyn Island in Newborough covers one of the walls, with a further one of South Stack Lighthouse in the master bedroom, emphasising the superb location of this property. The three bedrooms continue the same seaside theme with the king-size bedroom enjoying further coastal views, a double and family bedroom with an adult bunk bed and a single bed, providing flexibility for all party sizes. The shared lawns offer plenty of sunbathing areas and there is fantastic walking and cycling from the doorstep.

A delightful coastal cottage for you and your family, which you will want to come back to time and time again.
Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of Holy Island. It’s truly beautiful - a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine sandy beaches (European Blue Flag). Watersports, bathing, sailing and windsurfing are the main activities in the summer months and golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course. It’s a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse rspb Reserve and lots of rock pools and cliff top walks to explore. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, an interesting harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. The Maritime Museum in Holyhead has an excellent cafe and the beautiful Holyhead Breakwater Country Park has walks for you to enjoy. Further afield there is the stunning Newborough with its excellent woodland and beach and Beaumaris with its town and castle. A great location with plenty to see and do!

Very comfortable apartment with everything you need for a lovely stay. Just a short walk to the beach and village. No issues and owners friendly. Would recommend and will return.

However, our feedback has to be honest and we were immediately disappointed by the cleanliness. The bed sheets did not look fresh, hair under pillow cases, there was thick dust on windowsills and crumbs on the kitchen worktop. The bathroom was missing a hand towel and mat for the floor. We reported the issues to the owners straightaway and were promised a visit from the cleaning team but they never arrived. This was the most disappointing thing, feeling ignored and the owners didnât check on us throughout the week to ensure the issues were resolved. We loved Treaddur Bay so much, but are unlikely to rebook Isallt Lodge again due to these issues.

The location was ideal and within easy access to the local pub for evening meals but also within walking distance of the main Treaddur Bay area for all facilities. Love this particular area because of access to all the small coves and beaches. Would recommend this property. Thanking you again.
