The bungalow is comfortable, warm, spotlessly clean, well equipped and finished to a high standard. It is a short walk to the shops although it is so peaceful around you wouldnât think so. Benllech beach is a just a short walk away so what more could you ever need from a holiday stay. The contact from the owners was great and the welcome lack a really nice touch which got the week off to a good start.

The bungalow is beautifully clean and the lovely owners Sue and Simon have thought of everything you could possibly need and were very friendly and helpful. It was so cosy to come back to after our days exploring. The fresh flowers and welcome hamper were very much appreciated too. It was our first time visiting the area and thought the scenery everywhere was amazing. Our dog loved the big sandy beach and there are plenty of places to eat locally and shops. Would love to come back and visit again soon and stay at this lovely property.

Simon and Sue have tried to think of everything, from emergency toothbrushes, to buckets and spades for the young ones. The welcome hamper is one of the most thoughtful weâve ever enjoyed and the fresh flowers show that the hosts concentrate on their guests enjoyment over profit, which is heartwarming to experience. The bedrooms are neat, tidy and functional and are fresh, and incredibly clean. This is our second visit this year and privately we had mentioned to Simon and Sue that we found the beds to be somewhat unforgiving, so this year they had put a âtopperâ on the double bed to improve the comfort. That is the measure of these delightful owners! We have never been during the summer months but the private courtyard garden, and summer house would be a beautiful place to dine in the warmth of a Welsh spring and summer. We enjoyed a wonderful week, with wall to wall sunshine, and we would not hesitate to recommend Gwersyllt (The Cabin) to others looking for phenomenal value, caring owners, and a bolthole close to the beach and amenities in the centre of Benllech. Very highly recommended.
