We enjoyed our stay at Willoway the property is impressively large and worked well for our large family holiday with grandchildren We liked the little treats left by the owners and found the property well equipped in all areas There is easy access to the beach area and just a short walk to the local shops and amenities

Only a few hundred yards to the beach. The garden is lovely. The only slight downside is that the kitchen forms a sort of corridor between the two wings of the house, which can be problematic when cooking is taking place and people are passing through the kitchen. Care needs to be taken to avoid accidents. Benllech beach is lovely, with cafes, toilets and a large car park. The town has plenty of shops and eating places. We enjoyed our stay very much.

It was in a great location with stunning views over Benllech beach. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negatives would be that the description said enclosed garden, but there was 3 access points to the garden with no gates including the front drive. This was a worry with 2 small children and dogs to worry about. On several occasions 1 of the dogs took chase after a hare, so we had to put them on leads to go in the garden. Also, on first arrival we pushed the twin beds together in the spare room and there was a lot of dust under the bed so I had to run the hover around. Apart from this we did have a lovely stay and we were overall very happy with the property.
