“Quirky house which is interesting and characterful.”

Great location but not made the most of as bedrooms on top floor have views but rest of house is in a dip so view is obscured. Only seating area is a patio at back of house and furniture is too heavy to lift. Needs portable furniture so can be moved to lawn at front. Wooden seats with no cushions. Seating on higher level of garden with sea views would make a huge difference. Ground floor bedroom is extremely damp. Two bathrooms have baths with no mixer shower tap which would be better.

Great location but not made the most of as bedrooms on top floor have views but rest of house is in a dip so view is obscured. Only seating area is a patio at back of house and furniture is too heavy to lift. Needs portable furniture so can be moved to lawn at front. Wooden seats with no cushions. Seating on higher level of garden with sea views would make a huge difference. Ground floor bedroom is extremely damp. Two bathrooms have baths with no mixer shower tap which would be better. Sandy summer holidays need a showe. downstairs there is a small electric cubicle.

I am sorry Plas Esgob did not meet your expectations. We too wish we could have views from every window, unfortunately due to Geography and planning it is not to be. Our house’s very close proximity to the beach, with views to both the sea and Snowdon along with full scale sunrises and sunsets amount to rather a unique location, which our guests constantly appreciate. Heavy outdoor furniture is required, to make sure it does not blow away and we choose to put it in the most sheltered spot for comfort during the windier days, which tend to be quite frequent at Coastal properties. This terrace area faces South West, thus ensuring when there is sun, it is a warm and sheltered area. Your statement that the downstairs bedroom is damp, is incorrect. This room was fully damp proofed when the house was refurbished. A further inaccuracy describes a small electric shower. This is not electric and it is larger than a standard sized shower Owner relations

About the location

RHOSCOLYN

Valley 2 miles; Trearddur Bay 3 miles; Holyhead 5 miles.

Located on Holy Island, three miles from Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn is a small village with a church and primary school and is the most southerly place on Holy Island. Rhoscolyn also offers an excellent pub on the lane down to the beach, which is renowned for its gastro food, and the beach itself with its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and power boats, is a popular family destination throughout the summer owing to the sheltered cove and gently sloping sands. Also excellent cliff-top walks can be enjoyed and an abundance of wildlife can be seen, often including seals on the headland. Just two miles away is the village of Valley, which has a Post Office, chemist, shops and eating places, plus the nearby resort of Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of the island and is truly beautiful with a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine Blue Flag sandy beaches. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, supermarkets, harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. Watersports, bathing, sailing, windsurfing and horse riding are the main activities in the summer months, plus golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course, and the area is also a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve. An excellent location with plenty to see and do!

Note: The nature of Plas Esgob's location means that there are areas of cliff face and of course, the sea within close proximity to the cottage. Whilst the garden is enclosed, guests with young children are asked to be mindful of this.
