“What a cottage!”

Absolutely exceeded all our expectations. Cottage is well set out and fully equipped and the views were spectacular. We walked the coastal path in all directions, saw dolphins, porpoise, seals and a great variety of birds. Robin and Iona were great hosts. My only slightly negative comments - no mention of central heating and freezer in the information.

“We returned to East Keepers cottage following a fantastic stay 2 years ago, this visit didn't disappoint either!”

Amazing place to stay with friendly, helpful owners. The cottage is warm and comfy even when it's blowing a gale! We can't recommend staying here enough, it's a truly beautiful location and the view from the loo can't be beaten! Hoping to return again soon.

“We took my disabled mother and the only thing I would mention is that there are a couple of high steps at the back and front entrances.”

Once inside there were no problems. The weather definitely was not kind to us but that made the experience great!! The views are amazing and we spent hours looking out to sea trying to spot seals or porpoises. We were lucky enough to spot both. The East cottage is homely and comfortable. The beds are really comfortable. As I said the weather was not kind but hearing the wind howling inside and out was great... although it did make the windows and doors rattle a lot. The heating is very good. There are extra blankets and hot water bottle if you feel that you need it but we definitely didn't. The wildlife is fantastic and with horses grazing right outside the window whilst looking out for the sea life was delightful. Lovely sunsets and sunrises too. Try and take your own binoculars with you. You can be a bit picky but the lighthouse has everything you need for a great holiday. We loved our week long stay and have fallen in love with Anglesey. Thank you Robin and Iona

“This was our second visit even though 4 years apart and we were not disappointed.”

The owners were very welcoming and the milk and welsh cakes were a added touch which was wonderful. The accommodation was as lovely as I remember. Comfortable beds, well equipped and a real fire which was great in the winter

“Wonderful location a fab views from the dining room.”

Cottage was clean and comfortable. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Saw porpoise and stonechats from the window. Some fab coastal walks on the doorstep. Stayed with 3 other adults, child and 2 dogs and property was ample in size. Minor things; bed in double room (by front door) very creaky. Some damp in places but would expect this as by the sea. Rest of house was lovely and we will hold some very special memories of this holiday.

“Beautiful peaceful location stunning views from dining room window.”

“Very nice and cozy place.”

It was on the edge of a cliff and we could enjoy really beautiful views.

“Positives: Fantastic location (5 stars) Beautiful view from dining room Good heating and hot water Robyn was very friendly Negatives: Noisy nights because of ill-fitting doors and windows, which rattled loudly in the autumn winds, affecting our sleep.”

Door knobs stuck frequently, often requiring many turns to enable us to get in or out of rooms. Inadequate lighting in living room and dining room, which made these rooms very gloomy. Despite fantastic location we wouldn’t return.

“Love staying here.”

Location is wild and dramatic and the cottage is comfortable and attractive. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Views are great and we enjoyed a number of evenings watching the sunset over the sea , with a bottle of prosecco, on the bench above the little shingle beach. This year we even saw a baby red squirrel who had come to explore the lighthouse. Harbour porpoises just off the coast most days and wonderful wild flowers on the headland. A wonderful holiday.

“The location was superb, the owners friendly and helpful and we had all that we needed for the 3 nights stay.”

I'd happily return to Point Lynas. Diolch yn fawr iawn am y profiad gwych Robin ac Iona. .

“Great location.”

Easy to find. Ideal for walks and to watch for porpoises and other wildlife (choughs, kestrels).Fine for the 2 of us, kitchen might be a little small if it were full. All the staff, including the owner, very friendly.

“Amazing location, well equip and cosy and the views are just priceless.”

Lovely flowers and homemade scones left by the owners. Only one issue and that was that the double bed next to the bathroom was v uncomfortable and squeaky. I am told all the other beds were amazingly comfy though!

“Unusual and characterful accommodation.”

Wonderfully clean throughout. Warm and charming welcome and thoughtful provision of Welsh cakes and milk, much appreciated. Having been there during Storm Callum, it was exciting albeit very noisy from the wind. The wind whistling through and shaking the windows, well everything really, and torrential rain certainly made their presence felt so although ‘calm relaxation’ wasn’t the order of those few days, I certainly gained some experience of what it must have been like in a storm when the cottage was in its original use, and could see for myself the power of angry weather! But for me, that all added to the break and I loved it! So I had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Having instant access to the headland was fantastic and seeing the porpoises having a party despite the weather was a real treat! I’d definitely recommend the cottage (just recognise that it’s in an exposed position and be prepared to be flexible if there is bad weather). I would certainly go back again myself.

“The living and bedroom accommodation was good.”

Had we had children with us I would have been concerned about the embellishments on the headboards of the twin beds. We were only 4 guests and found the kitchen rather cramped and particularly the size of the fridge. It would certainly not hold sufficient for more than 2 or 3 days if there were 6 people. We could not get the TV to work and there were no obvious instructions, the note in the booklet was not sufficiently helpful, this was not a problem for us as we were only wanting to catch up on news. We were told broadband was available but it was very unreliable. However, the siting of the property was excellent and we enjoyed our week.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are really happy that you enjoyed your stay at the East Keepers Cottage, we hope to see you back in North Wales soon!

The property

East Keeper's Cottage is a blissfully romantic retreat, sitting in an outstanding coastal location with spectacular ocean views on the north eastern tip of Anglesey. This former lighthouse keeper's cottage has been carefully and sympathetically restored by its owners, who have found all sorts of interesting soft furnishings and bits and bobs to add to the ambience.

The result is a beautifully presented holiday house with a relaxing atmosphere. "What a cool place to stay in a spectacular and dramatic location!" Around the house you'll find a wealth of flora and fauna, both at sea and on land - porpoises, dolphins, birds, and carpets of wild flowers in the spring.

A short walk along the coastal footpath brings you down to the pretty sandy cove of Llaneilian, where you can bathe, explore the rock pools, or just lie and soak up the scenery. Together, East and West Keeper's Cottages can accommodate a party of 12 people.

The lighthouse is still working, but there is no foghorn to disturb the peace at these beautiful properties!

About the location

LLANEILIAN

Amlwch 2 miles; Moelfre 7 miles.

A scattered, rural village situated close to the cliffs of Point Lynas and the little bay of Porth Eilian, on the beautiful north coast of Anglesey. Llaneilian stands amidst lovely countryside, which is perfect for scenic walks and cycle rides, but is perhaps best known for its lighthouse built in 1835, and its small, attractive shingle and sand beach, which is sheltered by cliffs and headland making it perfect for swimming, boating, fishing and other water sports. Just 2 miles west is the old port of Amlwch, the most northerly town in Wales, and Parys Mountain, where visitors can enjoy the Copper Mine Trail Walk amidst the old ruins of what was once the world's largest copper mine in the 18th century. Amlwch's harbour dates back to the Middle Ages and once was a thriving port. There is excellent fishing and golf nearby as well as beautiful sandy beaches and spectacular cliff top walks. Enjoy the medieval town of Beaumaris, with its 13th century moated castle, museums, excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, take a day trip into Snowdonia or visit Dublin from the nearby port of Holyhead.

Note: Initial basket of logs provided and they can be purchased at the local garage if more logs needed.
