About this property

This spacious, detached holiday house, in a typical Arts and Crafts style is located in Benllech, on the exquisite Isle of Anglesey, near the village centre and some beautiful beaches.

Built in 1910 with spectacular views across the valley towards the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and down over the Benllech beach plus a very large country garden. The house has recently been carefully restored.

With parking for five cars, a Rolec car charger and access to all the attractions scattered throughout the Isle of Anglesey and its Coastal Path, Neuadd Wen is a great location for a large group of up to 11 guests.

Enjoy North Wales at its best, with a large country garden bordered by a forest inhabited by red squirrels.

After a day of appreciating the sights relax in the sitting room, sink into two beautiful couches by a wood-burning fireplace and a Freeview TV with internet link and all the apps you will ever need.

The kitchen will suit any amateur chef, fully equipped and with its own views across the valley.

There is an excellent local butcher in Benllech and a sea food shop, opens seasonally only.

The dining room is separate and offers a spacious solid oak table for up to 12 people.

The conservatory looks out over the valley and offers a peaceful haven to read or play some board games.

The utility room is very well equipped with a new washing machine and tumble dryer.

All the bedrooms are superbly furnished, good sizes and nicely proportioned. One bedroom is located downstairs and includes twin beds that can be pushed together to make a super-king-size which suits guests with limited mobility.

The 4-seater sofa in the lounge converts simply to a very high quality bed settee with a pocket sprung double mattress, creating total sleeping spaces for up to 11 people. There is a ground floor bathroom with an option of bath or shower. Upstairs, there is a king-size room with TV, two twin rooms with beds that can be pushed together to make super-king size, plus a charming single, and a beautiful shower room. In the enclosed country garden, approximately half an acre, there is a full-sized children's play set for the younger children of the party. Plus, a generous 12-seater picnic table with parasol to enjoy a full alfresco experience. There is also a good-sized garden room, so whatever the weather you can enjoy its football table and professional darts board, or if the weather is good enough use the extra garden furniture and beach toys stored in there.

When the weather permits, Traeth Benllech and Red Wharf Bay, two lovely beaches are only a short distance away, great for a day of playing in the sand, enjoying a good book, and getting a tan. Red Wharf Bay is a charming 18-minute walk from the house.

Also recommended for kids is the nearby Pili Palas Nature World, with all sorts of animals and a petting corner.

The Storws Wen Golf Club is nearby, a challenging 9-hole course, will entertain the keen putters in your group.

If you don't fancy cooking, take the company to one of the local restaurants or bars, which cater to a wide range of tastes. Try the best food pub in Wales, the Bull in Beaumaris.

Then there is the family friendly Ship Pub in Red Wharf Bay reputedly the best fish and chips on the island. Explore the ruins of The Lligwy Cromlech, Capel Lligwy, Din Lligwy, and the Old Fishermen's Cottages at Moelfre. Visit Beaumaris, a prosperous seaside town with a charming high-street, a fabulous 12th century castle, 17th century Courthouse and Gaol, and a delightful pier suitable for crab fishing.

If speed and excitement is for you, try a fast motorized rib ride with the family from Beaumaris. Bound to wake up the sleepiest holiday makers. Neuadd Wen is in a terrific location for discovering Anglesey and North Wales at any time of year.

Benllech features a lovely, long, sandy beach that is popular with families, with a slipway for convenient access. A picnic area and a variety of stores and cafés along the beach, while the village centre has more shops, pubs, hotels, and restaurants. The hamlet itself is perfect for family holidays, while the rural location gives serenity and easy access to the coast, rural Anglesey, and, of course, the beautiful Snowdonia mountains.

    The house was beautiful and so cosy. Everything you need is there. Beds are probably the comfiest I’ve slept on. Really got a good nights sleep! (I’ve not slept properly since being home!). We often caught glimpses of Mrs Bushy Tail, the red squirrel who visited every morning. Fab place! Thank you!

    It’s well decorated and lots of lovely pieces of furniture add to the overall comfortable feel of the property. The beds are very comfortable and the fields and outlook are really pleasant. A few things to mention, it states there’s an open fire but we were only left 3 logs for 3 nights, no matches and logs locally were £12. Had I known that these were not provided I would have brought my own which are cheaper where I live. I didn’t find a hairdryer so take your own and the car charger is not free- the listing doesn’t make this clear. Seating in the living room only seats 7 so if you do arrive with 11 guests as it accommodates, you won’t all fit into the living space with the TV but plenty of seating elsewhere in the house. I’d read a few reviews about the oven, I found it easy enough to use and the hob was great but I do think you’d struggle to cook a roast dinner for example with limited roasting dishes and it did take longer to cook than my fan oven at home so maybe could do with an upgrade soon. I took a lasagne I’d made at home and 30 mins later was still cold in the middle on 180 so it does take longer than you’d expect. We visited the beach, found a public footpath from Traeth to Red Wharf Bay which was an easy walk even for the kids (5 & 3) but pleasant and we had good weather. We also visited the local nature reserve which is great for younger visitors. Despite the smaller issues, it did not affect our stay as a family and we enjoyed the area and the overall comfort of the house.

Despite a beautiful house, I feel their cleaning team have let them down a little. We arrived to a broken glass, a dishwasher that needed emptying and do not look under the couches! My room had a ball of hair that the previous guests had clearly pulled off their hairbrush but was missed during hoovering (blue room) and the shower head upstairs could do with descaling. The rest of the house is clean but attention to detail could be better. We visited the beach, found a public footpath from Traeth to Red Wharf Bay which was an easy walk even for the kids (5 & 3) but pleasant and we had good weather. We also visited the local nature reserve which is great for younger visitors.
