The view from the lounge and main bedroom was great overlooking the Menai Straight and the marina entrance with all the different yachts and boats coming and going.

It was exactly as advertised. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Parking was easy with lots of available spaces outside the property. There are steps from the parking area to the house but they were not a problem for us. The view across the Menai Strait was superb and the location peaceful and a good base for exploring North Wales. The kitchen was very well equipped for self catering. The provisions provided were a lovely touch. We had an ideal week at Delfryd.
