About this property
The Dunes is a brilliant holiday house in the popular seaside village of Rhosneigr, on Anglesey. It has stunning sea views and is a short stroll from a sandy beach. With an open fire and multiple places to sit and relax, it’s the perfect place for a family or friends looking to holiday together in North Wales no matter the time of year.
The main sitting room is a relaxing space with comfortable sofas and chairs. In the summer, you can put your feet up and take in the views out to sea, and throw open the windows to let the sunshine and fresh air in. In the winter, cosy up in front of the open fire.
The bright kitchen and dining room is spacious and have an electric cooker, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. The large dining table is ideal for gathering everyone together for a meal as it seats 8-9 comfortably but you can seat 12 in total. There’s also an original pantry with slate shelving adjacent to the kitchen. The utility room has a washing machine and sink.
In the ‘snug' sitting room you can perch in the window seat with a cuppa and soak up the sea views, or watch the sun set in the evening. There is a Smart TV with DVD player, a selection of DVDs, as well as board games, jigsaw puzzles and playing cards.
A downstairs cloakroom has a loo and wash hand basin.
The Dunes has five bedrooms in total. The master room has a king sized bed. Two bedrooms that have zip ‘n' link beds which can be made into a super-king or two singles by request. Both of these bedrooms have stunning views. Finally, two single bedrooms.
There are two bathrooms. One has a bath, shower, loo, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The other has a walk-in shower with drencher head, loo, wash hand basin and a heated towel rail.
A dryer room offers a second fridge/freezer and a pulley drying rack. Dogs love sleeping in here!
The outdoor wet room is perfect for washing off sandy toes straight from the beach! The changing room has a Belfast sink and a bench with handy hanging hooks to offer a place for drying your wet suits and any other outdoor gear! The separate shower room allows privacy for those looking to shower off but there is also a loo and wash basin.
The delightful garden is enclosed and can be split into two parts - the upper and lower lawns. The upper lawn, being high up and sheltered by a wall, is ideal for sitting out on with your cup of coffee or glass of wine to take in the sea views. This section is also the perfect spot for al fresco lunches. The lower lawn is great for family games of rounders, croquet or cricket!
The sun hollow has a small decked terrace opposite. This section is fairly well hidden and a little secluded. The perfect lazy afternoon spot for soaking up the warmth of the sun. Garden furniture is provided on the decking - we recommend you escape here for an hour with a good book!
Additionally, there’s a yard that is quite large and sheltered. When the front gates are closed it means the outside space is enclosed. There is also off road parking available as well as a path approx 100 yards from the house that provides private access directly to the beach. Although use of the garage isn’t permitted to guests, there is plenty of room for boats and there is an outside tap.
Rhosneigr itself is a popular seaside village on Anglesey that has provided many happy holidays for generations of holidaymakers! There is so much possible from the front door; watersports, sandy beaches, pretty coves, walks along the coastal path, a round of golf, shops and restaurants. Hop in the car to explore more of Anglesey including attractions and even more beaches. Snowdonia is also not too far away if you want to explore more of what North Wales has to offer.
The Dunes is a fab holiday cottage that has, over the many years it’s been with us, provided many happy memories for its guests. Why don’t you join them?
The beds will be made made up as advertised, if you would like a different bed configuration please contact Menai Holidays 7 days before your arrival.

You can tell itâs been a family home at some time. Filled with love and laughter. With wonderful views across the bay of Rhosneigr. This is probably the 6 or May 7th visit for us. Thank you .

Everything about this house is homely, comfortable, practical and peaceful. The kitchen is well-equipped and the two fridges and walk-in larder provide plenty of storage. The beds are comfortable, the showers are good and the views are breathtaking. The beach is easily accessible via a path from the house. We would highly recommend this lovely house. We hope to return again.
