The location is excellent for beach and forest access, with local amenities nearby. Some cleanliness issues were noted, but overall, the property offers a cosy, dog-friendly stay with beautiful views.
Most guests found Rhianfa to be clean and tidy, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few guests mentioned cleanliness issues such as floors not being hoovered under sofas and a lack of thorough cleaning in some areas. These were isolated comments rather than a consistent theme.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to Newborough beach and forest, making it ideal for dog walking and exploring Anglesey. The local amenities, including a shop and pub, add to the convenience, although the village itself received mixed reviews.
Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, sofas, and the cosy atmosphere of the cottage. The secure garden and dog-friendly features contribute to the comfort of both human and canine visitors. Some guests found the settees a bit uncomfortable, but overall, the comfort level is high.
Rhianfa is commended for its well-appointed kitchen, enclosed garden, and additional features like a log fire and TV with various channels. Some maintenance issues were raised, such as a stiff front door lock and a damp wall, but these do not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is frequently highlighted, with mentions of welcome packs for both guests and dogs. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it's important to note that such extras, though delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Nestled in the very heart of the Welsh village of Newborough, is this traditional semi-detached cottage dating back to 1859, boasting a sleek finish. This quaint little property rests on the fringes of the forest and dunes of the south-west corner of Anglesey, with access to many beautiful beaches close by, the ideal retreat to bring family and friends. Take the time to chill out in the sitting room, there is much to entertain you with a Smart TV, DVD player and BOSE Bluetooth speakers available, to be enjoyed in front of the woodburning stove on a cold wintry evening. When it comes to preparing a meal, the kitchen is well-appointed with everything required to conveniently assist your holiday break. Picnic sets and cool bags are also available for those adventurous days out to the beach or national parks. Stroll through to the dining room from the kitchen, where the large table provides enough room for four with space for a highchair if you have little ones. The two double bedrooms resting on the first floor are accompanied by a modern-style bathroom, with contemporary fixtures contrasting beautifully with the exposed stone wall, adding a touch of character and a nod to its heritage. The exterior boasts a fully enclosed garden which extends out to the rear and occupies two lovely sitting areas for you to choose where to sit and relax, while the kids run around with the dogs. The views from the garden are simply marvellous, and on a clear day you can see down to the Menai Strait and even Snowdonia in the far distance. Perhaps enjoy your breakfast out here one sunshine-filled morning. There are books and guide maps available inside the cottage to help you decide where to visit during your stay. Nearby, Llanddwyn Bay and Newborough Warren promise alternative days out, with fabulous beach and glorious wildlife to be explored. The fun is simply never ending with many attractions to suit all tastes. An exquisite retreat to make the most of.
The village of Newborough lies on the edge of forests and dunes at the south west corner of Anglesey. Close by is Llanddwyn Bay, ideal for swimming, canoeing, beachcombing and birdwatching or just relaxing! Behind the beach, the 1500 acre sand dune system of Newborough Warren is home to abundant wildlife and is protected as a National Nature Reserve. Anglesey Sea Zoo, Foel Farm and the Anglesey Sea Salt are only a short drive away and nearby Aberffraw is the home of the Anglesey racing track and will offer an exciting day out.

It's proximity to Newburgh forest and beaches makes it great for dog walking. A special mention to the well stocked and friendly corner shop. Thanks to the owners from us all.

Very comfy and clean. Lots of lovely walks and a good shop close by. We had a slight problem opening the key safe but it was probably just us. Could I suggest that Sykes add the street name to the cottage details please? (Pendfef Street)
