Very comfortable 2 week stay at Swallow's Nest. The owners Chris & Sharon were so kind & helpful. The enclosed area was perfect for my dogs.So peaceful & relaxing, lovely bed. Plan to go back in the future.

On the positive side, the cottage was well-situated just off the A55 & convenient for touring Anglesey/N.Wales. A welcome pack of Prosecco & Matchmakers was provided, (although we would have preferred milk!) Due to unseasonal weather, we required heating & initially needed to contact the owner (away from home) for instructions. The property is quite spacious but seemed to lack some items, including a dressing table & chair in the bedroom. We also found the bathroom shower very small. However, we spent a fairly comfortable week at Swallows Nest, appreciating the bird life in the vicinity. There was no obvious sitting-out area, although the extremely windy weather precluded it!
