The owner made us feel very welcome and it was a good base from which to explore this part of North Wales. The directions to Tyddyn Whisgin in the email were good and it was easy to find. However, do not rely on the satnav if you use the postcode as it will send you to a neighbouring property! We felt very comfortable in the cottage and the grounds and setting were lovely. Nice views and sunsets over the Menai Straits.

Note that due to its distance from pretty much anything, a Petrol Station and Shop is though within moderate walking distance, your own transport would be recomended, We had a lovely early autumn stay and would certainly return to Poppy Cottage again.

The facilities are excellent, with ample parking, a dishwasher and washing machines. There are even airers to borrow! The host is lovely, and is on site should you need anything or have any questions. We will definitely be returning in future!
