About this property
This wonderful detached property, thought to be the second highest house in Cemaes Bay, Wales, is located in a small cul-de-sac. Well-appointed throughout to provide a cosy and comfortable cottage, 32 Gwelfor is the perfect place for a family getaway in this beautiful seaside village. It offers an extremely warm welcome; the charm is in abundance with a modern Art Deco design. It starts with a super hallway leading into the sitting room which has plenty of comfortable seating, including a swivel (cuddle) armchair. The woodburning stove is placed inside an attractive white brick enclosure, ideal for cosy nights in front of the TV. The lounge has a light decor, with splashes of colourful artwork, cushions and the rug, giving this cottage a wealth of character. With French doors leading out to the garden. Step into the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, which has kept the minimal decor style with its grey cabinets and units and a white granite worktop. The room has many modern touches including under counter lighting, and a large breakfast bar, which doubles as the dining table and chairs. A wonderful place to dine in the evenings with the whole family.
Near the front door you will find a lovely ground floor king-size bedroom, with plenty of storage space in the wardrobe and bedside tables. There is a ground floor WC and wash hand basin. Upstairs you will find two further king-size bedrooms, with magnificent views over the surrounding rooftops, rolling hills and the distant seaside. The third bedroom has a lovely set of wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes with the doors doubling as full-length mirrors. Hidden inside this unit is a TV. The first floor is also home to a second dining area with seating for up to four people and sea views. A great place to pull up one of the barstools and sip on a cocktail whilst taking in the view. There is a separate family bathroom with fantastic modern fittings, which include a bath and shower over. Outside has a large patio area with furniture provided, including a luxurious hot tub. There are three steps leading up to a lawned garden area with plenty of shrubbery surrounding, making it a fairly private, enclosed space and ideal for the kids or pets to run around and play. There is off-road parking available for two cars and parking in the road is also permitted. Cemaes Bay is home to a number of local attractions, including Cemlyn Bay and lagoon. Separated from the bay by a shingle beach is a brackish lagoon, which is fed by a number of small streams, and makes for wonderful sightseeing opportunities. Cemaes also has a lovely sandy beach. Cited as a scheduled monument, Porth Wen Brickworks was a Victorian brickworks which produced fire bricks, made from quartzite and was used to line steel-making furnaces. It has now been abandoned but there are still several buildings present with remains of some of the machinery and makes for a fascinating sight. 32 Gwelfor is an excellent modernised cottage in the heart of Anglesey (3 minutes from the centre of the village) but nestling in the countryside. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 935382, 936123, 1105325, 1053044, together sleeping up to 24 guests.

Fantastic location for the beach and coastal walks. The property is a little tired in places, but clean and comfortable. Great enclosed garden for the dogs with a fab hot tub to relax in after being out on the beach. Contact with the hosts DJ & Lee was great. Would definitely recommend.
