The Nook
Description
This delightful, detached property, enjoying sea views from several rooms and the front and back gardens is just a short walk to the beach, rests in the village of Benllech on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey.
The Nook is a lovely North Wales holiday home offering six guests a fabulous beach base from which to explore Anglesey’s gorgeous coastline.
The property boasts a contemporary fitted kitchen with a breakfast area, a homely sitting room with a coal fire and a separate dining room with sea views from the window for dinner with a view.
This room overlooks the private, enclosed garden, and provides a lovely spot for reading or planning the holiday’s activities, whilst the pretty garden has a patio with furniture, great for alfresco dining and a lawn for your canine companions to stretch out on.
Completing the ground floor is a shower room, while up on the first floor there is a bathroom boasting a corner bath, ideal for a relaxing and roomy soak.
Settle down in one of three charming bedrooms, comprising a king-size, a double and a twin, offering a layout to suit various groups from families to friends alike.
The cottage is wonderful for families as it’s close to Benllech’s long beach with fine golden sand and clear blue waters, perfect for paddling and safe bathing on a summer day.
Take advantage of the tennis and basketball courts that rest opposite the property, as well as the bowling green, and enjoy some fun activities, or bring the kids to the amusement arcades for plenty of entertainment!
Enjoy walks along the coast visiting nearby beaches at Moelfre and Red Wharf Bay, while the town of Beaumaris a little further south is home to a wealth of history to discover at Beaumaris Castle, Beaumaris Gaol and The Old Court Museum, not to mention the fun-filled sea safaris leaving from the harbour to take you to Puffin Island where you might even spot some seals.
With Bangor, Caernarfon and Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Llyn Peninsula only a short distance further onto the mainland, this is a superb cottage base, all year round.
Enjoy a lovely holiday to Anglesey at The Nook.

What guests are saying
We stayed 6 nights in October.
The house itself is very spacious. Perfect for dogs with safe garden front and rear. We found the front garden easier to let out for toilet breaks! The building works next door did not bother us much. No work over the weekend. In the week just light drilling/ banging could be heard and deliveries etc.. The large container on the drive does obstruct some of the lovely sea view from the window seat which I enjoyed sitting at. On a whole the house is in good condition but as with any property things do need updating from time to time. You can not beat the location just 10/15 mins walk to beach and many local facilities within a few mins walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable during our stay. Like staying at a friend's property rather than an holiday let. Communication was excellent.
We have stayed at the Nook a couple of years ago and so knew what the property was like.
However, in the interim period, I'm afraid things have deteriorated somewhat. When we arrived, the catch on the gate was faulty, a missing screw meant that the bolt was hanging down and had to be lifted up every time to secure the gate when closed. I made a temporary repair. The lawns needed mowing and the entrance porch had broken dirty garden chairs and a walking pole cluttering the entrance and just giving the impression of being tatty. The gardener arrived mid week and mowed the lawns, but if this has been arranged on a Saturday morning, before guests arrive, a much more favourable impression would have been created. The rear patio area is in dire need of cleaning and weeding. The house itself has a few niggling issues which could easily be sorted. The brass strip under the kitchen door is loose and the door catches on protruding screws, which only need replacing. The rear kitchen door does not close properly as the catch is not sitting properly in the recess in the surround. This causes the door to slam violently if both from and back doors happen to be open at the same time. Easily solved by providing a small door wedge. Although the kitchen is generally well stocked with utensils, I'm afraid the oven, whilst working adequately, is well past it's sell by date. Rusting panels at the top have been painted over. The work surface adjacent to the sink also has a large piece of veneer missing (covered by a placemat). Several doors have scuff marks which need painting. The instructions to operate the heating are inaccurate ( it seems to be set on a timer which doesn't come on long enough to warm the house thoroughly). We were constantly having to override it, and the instructions to do this were inadequate. The hand book also does not state that the green bins need to be put out on Wednesday. We were aware that building work is ongoing next door, and this really didn't affect us that much. However, when completed, it will affect the sea view from the rear patio. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but it is sad to see the property being neglected and generally now has a "run down" appearance.
This was the 3rd time we stayed here and it’s been superb every time.
There is some building work going on next door but we were not inconvenienced at all, the workers were very polite and there were no problems parking ( we had 2 cars) Looking forward to booking the cottage next year
