“This is the second time this year, we have stayed in Little Hawthorn, in manai Bridge, North Wales.”

We would highly recommend staying here. It is a lovely quirky little place, very comfortable and with everything we needed. If you don't have a car, the bus station is a three minute walk in which you can get to explore Angelsey. Definitely would recommend Little Hawthorn to family and friends.
Ms Gregson August 2019

“On arrival at the property the keys were not in the security box (the code we had been given was already clearly displayed on the box and the box was open with no keys inside) so we were unable to get into the property.”

After a call to menaiholidays I was told to phone the owner directly to sort the problem. We had to wait in the car park for her to arrive to let us in. It was unclear why the keys had not been left for us. Even had the keys been left we felt it would have been very difficult to find the correct property within the crowded courtyard with its many doors! It seemed strange that more explicit instructions as to the correct door to the property had not been included in the access instructions. Also - normally information is available in holiday properties about outside bins, how appliances/heating work etc - but we could not find anything. Still not sure where the bins were! The key problem made for a disappointingly inhospitable start to our holiday and certainly an unprofessional one. I hope this does not happen for anyone else.

“We loved this holiday cottage.”

The owner had carefully fitted the cottage/ apartment with items which reflected the age and character of the building. Everything we needed was available and the residents of the adjoining property and business were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend and intend to return in the future.

“The loft bedroom has blinds on the velux windows and they let the light in from the street light outside so these could be improved.”

The kitchen, shower room and bedroom were well fitted with everything necessary.

“Quirky, cosy and convenient cottage/flat.”
“Good value and easy to book”
Monica Hare

“We loved the location, the ease we could use the frequent bus service and the pleasant well equipped décor.”

Our stay was made uncomfortable by the urine soaked floorboards surrounding the immediate toilet area. Both of us were repeatedly bitten on our feet and legs, the source of which was unclear.
“Loved the quirky cottage and it was equipped well.”

Great location for visiting Anglesey and Snowdonia. So much to do and see in the region. The bedroom blinds do not block the street light though so it was difficult to sleep.
D Selzer

“A charming, eccentric and comfortable holiday apartment very conveniently placed in Menai Bridge - within easy walking distance of the straits and Waitrose!”

The property

Little Hawthorn is a converted 18th Century grain loft and the owners have shown great sympathy in reflecting its history.

Care has been taken not to over restore and much pleasure derived from the idiosyncrasies of the house.

The eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary creates a comfortable yet interesting environment. From the high street, double gates open along a carriageway, still part cobbled, to a slate flagged yard.

The yard and outbuildings below are filled with vintage collectables and memorabilia which may prove hard to resist for any visitor! "Vera, the owner, really should be given an award for the work she has done in Menai Bridge and Little Hawthorn is another of her little gems.

It is quirky, fun and right in the centre of the town." The apartment entrance is at the top of a flight of stone steps, close to cafes, restaurants, artisan traders as well as a Waitrose at the top of the hill.

Menai Bridge town itself is steeped in history and within a short walk is the Menai Strait and Telford's magnificent suspension bridge. This holiday apartment is an ideal base for exploring Anglesey, as well as the mainland in North Wales, accommodating the needs of both the town and country enthusiast.

It is indeed a little gem, a truly bohemian experience.

It is an ideal base for a holiday and is great for exploring this beautiful island. It has a strong history which can be discovered in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum, the well known Saint Tysilio lived on Church Island, just off of Anglesey in the 9th century, hence the name of the 14th century St. Tysilio's Church. Menai Bridge itself offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. In terms of entertainment, this is an ideal spot with something for everybody, there is the butterfly palace 'Pili Palas' which is incredibly popular with families, as well as the astounding Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens well worth a walk around. The Snowdonia National Park is within driving distance for you outdoor enthusiasts, it has wonderful walking, cycling and opportunities to see some beautiful sights. Nearer to the town, there are some incredible places including the popular towns of Beaumaris and Caernarfon with their majestic castles and much more to do.

Note: No private parking but there is an entrance to the rear garden from the public car park. The owner provides a parking permit so there will be no charge and the permit can be used elsewhere on the Island too. Note: Not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.
