We enjoyed staying in this peaceful and well-appointed home. It was not ideal for wheelchair use as it has some different levels, but we really enjoyed our week there. It is a glorious place to stay.

Overall the property was beautiful and very comfortable, with an extremely sociable lay out with regards the living spaces and lovely grounds. Great views and privacy from other properties on the estate. There were only a couple of minor aspects that may be helpful to feedback - in general the property was clean on arrival, however it was not spotless and so depending upon expectations and standards future guests may bring this up, additional small details like no hand soap or almost empty hand soap in the en-suites facilities, also the main lights did not work in the downstairs lounge area off the dining end of the ground floor. We still had a fantastic holiday and comfortable stay though so definitely just minor details! I would say that the parking space if there are a few couples/families staying at the property is rather tight for 4 standard/larger vehicles and most likely guests will be using their cars to come and go over the week so this is a drawback if your parking skills are dodgy! Thankfully ours were ok and as a family we would most certainly love to return one day to stay again and would highly recommend the property to others. Thank you :-)

! Sharing a house with 10 others can often feel a bit squishedâ¦not here!! Lovely areas to share time together, quiet area too and peaceful bedrooms. The showers were all great. The over riding memory will be the views to Snowdonia!! If there was one thing which was not positiveâ¦one or two of the beds werenât to our liking, but thatâs always a risk with holidays. Anglesey itself was a revelation (our first time), super clean beaches and sea water, far less busy than Devon or Cornwall for instance and the general scenery was fantastic. Will definitely be back!!
