About this property
A delightful, end-terrace stone cottage in the hamlet of Llanfaethlu that has been lovingly renovated and styled by its current owners.

With an outdoor seating area, you can enjoy the sunshine and views towards the coast in the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside, relaxing with a cup of coffee or dining alfresco. In the village there is The Black Lion Inn, a Grade II listed 18th century country dining pub where you could stop for a refreshing drink, or go further afield and discover the 125 miles of coastal path around the island and the sandy coves and beaches around Church Bay where you can swim, sail, surf, and fish, and if you are lucky, you may even spot dolphins.

Our party consisted of 2 adults, a 7 year old and a small dog. Lovely cottage on a quiet single lane road. Ample parking. Very well equipped. We had a BBQ on the first night and sat outside in the sunshine. Later during our stay, when the weather deteriorated, we were able to access our Netflix account on the TV to watch a film after our son was put to bed. Would recommend, we will be back.

The only problem for me was the weather, which was out of the owners control, but it stopped us being able to use the full facilities on offer eg. Barbecue and outside bench and table. I will certainly be looking to book again, as we loved the cottage and the location. Many thanks Mike

The cottage was immaculate, well equipped, comfortable and in a great location. You can walk to the local beach and the beautiful Church Bay is only a very short drive away. The cottage is ideally situated to explore Anglesey and all that it has to offer and at the end of the day a comfortable place to sit back and relax. Loved it and really can't wait to return. Thank you for our lovely stay at your cottage.
