“Lovely 3 bed, 2 bath cottage right in the middle of a farmyard.”
Small, walled garden was ideal for letting our dogs out before bedtime, although a more agile dog would easily jump the wall. This is a working farm and the cattle sheds are right next to the house so if you don't like the smell or the sound of cattle, it's not for you. Also, there are tractors in and out and the cattle are driven right past the cottage, so mind your children.
The proprieter, Gwyneth, is very warm and welcoming. She happily showed us around the farm and enthusiastically explained anything we were interested in.
For the birdwatchers, there are Swallows nesting and many other birds around, including Buzzards and Kestrels.
The Wales coast path is less than 1km away (almost at the end of the drive) and there are great views of the sea and Holyhead Mountain from the farm.
The cottage was generally clean but the floor, although it has been bkeached just before we arrived, needed cleaning again and the plastic sofas (standard in dog friendly cottages) had to be thoroughly disinfected and wiped over by ourselves before we could sit on it. Everything else was clean enough.
The bathrooms were well equipped and modern but the water supply was inadequate, so if someone was using the downstairs shower or the hose outside, you'd get no water upstairs.
I believe this is being addressed soon with a new mains water service from the road. Hot water was very hot.
Beds were comfy and clean.
Lounge windows were too dirty to see out of. This is because it rained and then the tractors kicked up a lot of dust which then stuck to the wet glass.
There is a hot tub in the garden which is cleaned and refilled each week and was very pleasant.
Overall - a really nice holiday cottage, run by a lovely, genuine lady. For us, it was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.
