About this property
An imposing, Victorian manor house, The Manor House is a truly remarkable property from which to spend quality time with friends and family whilst exploring the history-enriched Isle of Anglesey, Wales. Built by the Sheriff of Anglesey in 1866, then later owned by a former Vogue model, you can ensure that this property boasts character and charm. Heading under the bell tower topping the house, salvaged from a shipwreck in Anglesey in 1853, enter into the lofty hallway and kick off your boots before heading into the spacious sitting room where you can all gather together before the woodburning stove, relaxing on the arrangement of sofas or gathering around the table with its feature woodwork base, as you toast to your terrific holiday. Move through into the kitchen/diner, a bright and airy room with an abundance of natural light flowing through the windows, the chef of the group will delight in concocting tasty treats for the group in here, as the rest of the group gather around the table at the centre of the room for an evening of laughter and entertainment together. If you're seeking a quiet spot to yourself, retreat to the suntrap of the conservatory where you can delve into a good book whilst overlooking the beauty of the countryside outside of the surrounding windows. At the end of a fun-filled day, the cottage offers three delightful bedrooms where you can rest your head, made up of a ground-floor super-king-size benefiting from an en-suite shower room, as well as doubling up as a twin on request, making the perfect place for those less mobile. Up on the first floor you can find both a family room made up of a king-size and a truckle bed with an en-suite bathroom, perfectly suited to those with young children, along with a further king-size doubling up as twin on request, serviced by the gleaming, family shower room on the ground floor. The delights of the dwelling continue outside, where a luxurious hot tub awaits you to take a dip as you soak in your scenery up close, the perfect way to end any day on your tranquil trip. The position of the property makes a wonderful base for those seeking outdoor excitement in the form of rambling, cycling and all-around adventure seeking, with nearby Valley making a great stop to collect any last-minute amenities or indulge in a rewarding pint in the pub. Head to Rhosneigr for a day at the coast where you can play on the golden sands and indulge in an ice cream beneath the sun, or take a trip to Holy Island, boasting rich history and ferry trips over to Ireland for an experience like no other. The Manor House is a true idyll of a property to base your next family retreat to Wales.
Rhosneigr is situated on the beautiful west coast of Anglesey, famous for its spectacular cliffs and magnificent sandy beaches. The village has a varied history including a 6th century church, tales of smugglers, famous off-shore shipwrecks and from the Edwardian era it has been a fashionable holiday destination. Today it is known for its magnificent beaches and renowned watersports, providing some of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing in the UK, with tuition available in the village. Activities include fishing, sailing, sand yachting, wreck diving, golf and hours of family fun on the enormous sandy beaches. There are several pubs, restaurants and shops in the village. Nearby Holyhead boasts rich history and even ferry trips to Ireland for the day, whereas Trearddur Bay is a wonderful place for those seeking a relaxing day on golden sands.

Lamps on in windows, a Christmas tree in the main window, very welcoming! All the rooms are big and spacious, kitchen had everything we needed, including roasting tin for the turkey, Yorkshire pudding tins, cooling trays, you name it it was here! The dogs had also been catered for, blankets, towels, dog treats and emergency dog food if required. The garden to the rear is nice and big, but as we had 2 danes with us we used the enclosed paddock to the right of the main gate as you went up the drive from the house! The dogs loved their off lead zoomies! All in All this property is absolutely amazing and definitely booking again, but maybe in the summer next time! But in saying that whilst we had a lovely lightening show across the sky out the back of property and fierce winds, some rain, it didn't dampen our whole experience, we loved being at The Manor House in every way! Thank you!

A truly beautiful place to stay with great rooms & views. The hot tub has the best view of the jets practicing from the nearby RAF base! I have marked down slightly on cleanliness & facilities/maintenance due to the obvious damp on some of the walls, with patchy paintwork to try & cover some of it. There was some mould on the grout/sealant in the bathrooms as well. There were limited utensils in the kitchen - no baking trays for instance. There also weren't any books or boardgames/cards available, as I'd expect in a cottage of this standard.

I would even go so far to say the furniture in the living room was well below par. There was a black stain where people had been resting their heads whilst relaxing on the largest sofa. The damp issue was far from good - having to use a de-humidifier in the downstairs bedroom was unbelievable (this needed to be emptied every night). The damp is an issue all through the downstairs with water actually flowing down the walls. You can see where maintenance have tried to paint over the marks but have made it obvious there is a problem. The kitchen is not laid out in the best way with hardly any worktop space and the utensils actually placed on the worktops, being dirty. On arrival we noticed the fridge-freezer was leaking and needed de-frosting. The downstairs shower room could not be used as the shower screen doors kept coming away from the rails. There was a bookcase with 2 books and a DVD player with no DVD's. We were unable to cook anything that needed ingredients measuring out as there was no measuring jug. We had to wash some of the cutlery before use on our first night. We developed a rash from the hot tub, which had not been cleaned out after the last guests left that morning - it was cleaned on the Thursday but did not reach temperature until the early hours of Friday morning - it had reached 40 degrees on the day of our arrival....which proved it had not been emptied or cleaned. We had to visit a pharmacy to purchase anti-histamines and E45 cream. If the last guests had vacated 10am and we checked in at 5pm what had the cleaners been doing for 7 hours only changing the beds? Dead flies and spiders littered the conservatory and the inside of the windows looked like they had never seen water...The curtains in the living room need to be put onto the hooks properly on the patio doors and the carpet needs to be pulled up and changed or at least cleaned with an industrial carpet cleaner. There was so many stains on the carpet that we tried to keep our shoes/slippers on at all times. The internet could only be used downstairs in the living room as when you logged on upstairs the signal kept dropping. Suffice to say we did not have the best time after looking forward to our usual week away in September trying to relax - we go away every year to a cottage with a 5 star rating and a hot tub - we stayed in the Coach House 3 years ago and it was stunning, so we had high hopes for this property. I can safely say the only good things were the views, the peace and quiet and the comfortable beds.
