About this property
This outstanding end-terrace cottage is located at the end of a short, quiet lane in the small hamlet of Peniel, just a short walk from the central Anglesey village of Llanerchymedd. Situated just three miles from the popular beauty spot of Llyn Alaw reservoir, this delightful Welsh cottage has been lovingly renovated and extended to provide the perfect base for exploring all the coastline of Anglesey. Guests enter into a charming open plan living area, with welcoming dining area for family meals right next to the well-equipped and modern kitchen and a cosy snug seating area around an atmospheric woodburner. Two internal steps lead up to a spacious utility room and ground floor bathroom with stylish freestanding bath and corner quadrant shower, with a door leading through into a superb main sitting room with comfy seating, along with oak flooring, gabled ceiling and patio doors looking out onto the enclosed lawned garden. Upstairs there are two pretty bedrooms, one styled with twin beds, and also a double bedroom which enjoys views towards Snowdonia from its dormer windows and has an en-suite shower room. Wander into the garden where you can sit and relax, dining alfresco using the barbecue or enjoying a relaxing drink and gazing over the fields, though you may find the occasional chicken roaming through the garden to join you. The inland village of Llanerchymedd offers all you would expect from a thriving village with a pub, cafe, mini-market, take-away, laundrette and regular bus service, whilst the coast can be reached within 15 minutes, with Benllech on the east coast or Rhosneigr on the south side of the island. With many good walks and cycle routes close by, this lovely cottage has something for everyone.
The former market town of Llanerchymedd, is located in the heart of picturesque Anglesey, providing a gateway to the superb beaches around the coastline. Llanerchymedd was once home to a thriving cobblers industry with over 250 shoemakers in the town and numerous corn mills to provide food for the cobblers and also to supply the traders at the market. The village now offers a smaller community feeling, with a village pub serving good food, a small village shop, chip shop and launderette, which should provide for most of your daily needs.

There are always things to pick faults with but, for the money, we thought this was excellent value and a perfect location for our walk of the northern half of the Isle of Anglesey Coast path.

The extension is well done & spacious. There is plenty of parking area to the side. The full-sized bath is lovely. Lacks maintenance on plumbing (upstairs sink & shower drainage poor). Very clean throughout. It could do with a major upgrade on beds & bedding. Overall a very nice stay.
