About this property
This charming, detached farmhouse, reputed to be an early staging post dating back to the 1760s, is situated on in a residential area on a no-through road, in the heart of the delightful Anglesey coastal village of Cemaes Bay. This lovingly-restored cottage has been tastefully decorated throughout and boasts exposed timbers and antique furnishings. Providing light and airy accommodation, it offers three bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room, along with a well-equipped kitchen with breakfast table, a dining room, and a sitting room with woodburner and small snug. The cottage has large rear lawned gardens with fruit trees, making this a perfect place for soaking up the afternoon sun and cooking locally-sourced lobster and seafood on the BBQ. This cottage is ideally located for access to the village, and just a three minute walk away are beaches and unspoilt coastline, which are good for young children due to the gently shelving incline and sandy shore. This is an excellent family getaway for a great beach holiday.
The pretty seaside village of Cemaes Bay in Anglesey offers three pubs, shops, a natural sheltered harbour and a sandy beach. The Isle of Anglesey boasts stunning coastline walks, cycling, birdwatching, watersports, fishing and many golf courses.

The house is big and so comfortable and has everything you need. The garden is lovely and was perfect for us and the dog. The house is a few minutes walk from the centre and the beaches and is in a peaceful road. The owner lives next door and was lovely and helpful. We will definitely be coming back.

The beds were super comfy, the log burners cosy and the garden was a lovely big secure space for our dog. Seldom have we stayed in a cottage which provides everything you need and more but Tyddyn Gyrfa Cottage certainly did. The location was also ideal for exploring Anglesey.

It was cosy, comfortable with two lovely log fires. The house was really nicely decorated for Christmas. A real home from home feel. There were even towels supplied to dry the dogs on.
