As soon as you start to descend the curving drive, passing the pretty pond, the breathtaking landscape starts to unfold. You will be greeted with a beautiful Snowdonia mountain backdrop with Penrhyn Castle, Porth Penrhyn harbour and Bangor's Victorian pier in the foreground. Once you approach the final corner, with gorgeous views along the Menai Strait, you will arrive at the manor house which is located in Glyngarth, between the popular towns of Menai Bridge and Beaumaris on Anglesey.
The open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area is a lovely space with a view from every window. We especially love the clever Velux balcony with fantastic views to Mount Snowdon and the Britannia suspension bridge.
The main seating area has comfortable sofas and chairs, a Smart TV and telescope. There is an additional snug area in the turret with two easy chairs and a SONOS system.
The well equipped kitchen has an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine/dryer, microwave, toaster and Lavazza coffee machine. While there is a dishwasher no one is going to object to washing up with the view from the sink! There is a dining table and 6 chairs.
There are two bedrooms. The master room has a king size bed, TV and ensuite with a wet room with multi-function shower, loo and wash hand basin. The twin room has two single beds and a TV.
There is a further wet room with multi-function shower, stand alone bath, loo and wash hand basin.
In addition to the communal gardens Nyth Y Fran had its very own relaxing private garden overlooking the Menai Straits and mountains, created for the sole use of guests. Features of this wonderful space include a large patio, large picnic table and chairs, stand for disposable BBQ's, folding reclining chairs, portable LED lamps and a lockable storage unit for bikes and garden furniture. A handy cool box with ice packs, BBQ tools and a picnic set are stored in the apartment's kitchen.
The rolling lawns of the extensive grounds include a small orchard, pond and patio areas. The newly built walkway and steps down to the bottom is great for a visit to the Gazelle for a spot of lunch. There is allocated parking for two cars.
Please note that within the penthouse apartment there are areas with low headroom so please be mindful if you are very tall.
This apartment has been decorated and furnished to the highest standard and provides a special feeling of peace and tranquillity. The elevated position gives exceptional panoramic views from all the main rooms. The constant movement of boats up and down the Strait during the day is captivating and the sunrises and sunsets are always very special. The sitting room Velux balcony offers fantastic views to Mount Snowdon and the Britannia suspension bridge.
There is a lift as well as stairs serving the apartment which is on the top floor and on one level.

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.

Really clean on arrival, hosts kept in contact only when needed. Well equipped kitchen. A great central point to explore Anglesey. No problems at all would love to return again in the future!
Lindsey
The grounds are beautiful and spacious and the location was so close to everything we wanted to see and do. The apartment was kitted out with so many things that were helpful for a family trip away: a picnic/ cooler set, a slow cooker (with a cookbook!), lots of family games. My husband and I said we would need to bring much less next time. The local produce given to us was a sweet bonus. And the views! Wow - we cannot wait to stay again.
Catherine
Wonderful apartment, thoughtfully presented and the views over the Menai Staights were fantastic. It was a great base to explore Anglesey from and the guides and local information provided were helpful. The Welsh treats for us and the dog treats were really thoughtful
