The bed was really compfy had a great night sleep, the sofa was not so compfy but managed. The owner Richard left a few gifts which was a nice surprise and Richard was very helpfull . Great location and veiws from the cottage, access to the cottage was brilliant. The only downside to us, was that the bathroom was downstairs, but other than that we would certainly return to this quaint cottage.

Nicely equipped, warm and comfortable too. Thank you very much for the welcome Anglesey themed gifts - they were all really lovely. In your cottage description, please consider adding a photo of the picturesque Snowdonia view from both the lounge and bedroom. Also the addition of the great dog walk down to the Menai from the front door was greatly valued as our early /last dog walk of the day.
