The delights of Anglesey and the rest of North Wales are all easily accessible.

Fron is a holiday cottage in a brilliant location, not far from the A55 making it ideal for those travelling from North West England.

There are great walks along the Menai Strait, too. From here you can truly explore the best attractions, walks, cycle routes and places to eat and drink that Anglesey, Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula have to offer. Due to its central location, the whole of North Wales is yours to explore whilst on holiday!
This delightful town sits right on the edge of the Isle of Anglesey and is home to one of two bridges to mainland Wales. It is an ideal base for a holiday and is great for exploring this beautiful island. It has a strong history which can be discovered in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum, the well known Saint Tysilio lived on Church Island, just off of Anglesey in the 9th century, hence the name of the 14th century St. Tysilio's Church. Menai Bridge itself offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. In terms of entertainment, this is an ideal spot with something for everybody, there is the butterfly palace 'Pili Palas' which is incredibly popular with families, as well as the astounding Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens well worth a walk around. The Snowdonia National Park is within driving distance for you outdoor enthusiasts, it has wonderful walking, cycling and opportunities to see some beautiful sights.

All bedrooms were big with plenty of wardrobe space.Kitchen had loads of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils + lots of space in the utility room. Things that would improve our rating: Tumble dryer did not dry and there was no line and the airer was also broken. Although the property was clean there were marks on the lounge carpet and sofa and it looked grubby. The sofas weren't very comfy,bath towels were on the small size and we had asked for a cot which was provided but no cot mattress. Disappointed there was no loo rolls or soaps. Surprised that there was no information book about the house or local area.

This could be lovely with a bit of an update & maintenance but sadly the owners havenât taken any notice of previous feedback. Toilet seat ( sounds a little thing I know ) still doesnât fit so you are sitting on the bowl itself. Main shower is mouldy & the hose is broken. Kitchen is ill equipped for 9 people self catering. Carpets were absolutely filthy/stained. Instructions for the microwave would have been helpful too.

A little maintainence needed such as dryer heats but doesnât tumble, Ensuite toilet flush is very poor, main bathroom toilet seat doesnât fit so will not stay up for men to use, kitchen sink water goes down drain very slowly. Apart from these minor details we enjoyed the spacious well equipped house.
