    “What a wonderful place.”

    In the heart of Benllech. Tucked away behind the high street. The accommodation is just lovely. Plenty of room for everyone. Fully kitted out in the kitchen. Bedrooms were big and had en-suites to 3. The downstairs bedroom is great for anyone either with issues with the stairs or elderly. My mom stayed in this room and it was lovely and comfortable for her. Beds lovely comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Loads of car parking.

    In the heart of Benllech. Tucked away behind the high street. The accommodation is just lovely. Plenty of room for everyone. Fully kitted out in the kitchen. Bedrooms were big and had en-suites to 3. The downstairs bedroom is great for anyone either with issues with the stairs or elderly. My mom stayed in this room and it was lovely and comfortable for her. Beds lovely comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Loads of car parking. The road down to the property is narrow and do take it slow getting down to the property as you have to go down a further level to get to the house. Walking distance to the local shops. Great chip shop - Finneys. A stone throw away. The gardens were truly magical. Loads of wildlife. And stunning views. A fantastic place to stay. Will stay again This is a note to the owners not to go on the review. Our only issue and this is something the owners will need to look at. Is the waste bins. We arrived late afternoon on the Tuesday. The bins were already outside the property from either the previous occupants or the cleaners. As Wednesday are collection days in this area. The bins were overflowing at that point. With bags left on the top of the black bin The next morning the neighbours came to us as the bin bags left on the top of the bins had been ripped open by the seagulls and its contents was all over the driveway. To which we cleared up as not to cause issues. Due to the rubbish we collected from the driveway this filled a quarter of the black bin. So this issue will surely happen again! The owners need to look at this and find ways to get rid of the volume of waste as the bins are apparently only emptied every 3 weeks. So issues with bags of rubbish will be left again on top of the bin. And you don’t want the local neighbour upset!

    - Amanda, April 2026

    Thank you for pointing out the bin issues and for clearing up what sounds like a nightmare! I’ve asked the man who mows the lawn to do next weeks bins - he maybe able to do this on a regular basis. I need to come up in a week or so and apologise to neighbours! I do pay Menai property a maintenance fee each booking but frankly they’re not very helpful! Glad to hear you enjoyed everything else! Do come again! If it’s outside the high season do get in touch with me direct ! 07943818287 Regards Mary Tavernor Property Owner

The property

Tyddyn Iolyn is a captivating holiday cottage tucked away along a quiet country lane in the picturesque village of Benllech, in Anglesey.

Once the residence of Sir Richard Bulkeley, this lovingly restored 18th-century farmhouse is steeped in history and character, offering sweeping views across Red Wharf Bay to the distant silhouettes of Llanddona and The Great Orme.

This wonderful home is a sanctuary of beauty, surrounded by expansive, mature gardens that invite you to slow down and savour the moment.

Inside, the charm continues with a handcrafted farmhouse kitchen, thoughtfully designed to inspire culinary creativity.

A separate utility room provides space to store sandy shoes and beach gear after a day exploring Anglesey’s stunning coastline.

At the heart of the home lies a magnificent formal dining hall, where a vaulted ‘A-frame’ ceiling and underfloor heating create a warm and elegant setting for shared meals and celebrations.

The adjoining living area, complete with a large dining table and a toasty woodburning stove, offers the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.

The accommodation is both generous and inviting, with four beautifully styled bedrooms—two on the ground floor and two upstairs.

The king-size rooms feature en-suite bathrooms for added comfort, while the bunk room adds a playful touch for younger guests or extra flexibility.

A convenient cloakroom completes the thoughtful layout.

Step outside into a garden that feels like a secret world of its own.

A gentle stream winds its way through the grounds, its soft murmur adding to the tranquil atmosphere.

Lush lawns, mature trees, and vibrant flowerbeds create a picture-perfect setting for morning coffees, afternoon picnics, or evening strolls.

A gravelled terrace and sunlit patio are ideal for alfresco dining, while the barbecue area ensures long, leisurely summer nights under the stars.

Just a short walk away, the heart of Benllech awaits.

This charming seaside village is home to a Blue Flag beach, beloved for its golden sands and safe swimming waters.

The village offers a wealth of amenities, including cosy cafés, welcoming pubs, restaurants serving local fare, and convenient shops such as Tesco, Co-op, and Spar.

For those who love the outdoors, the Anglesey Coastal Path offers breathtaking walks with panoramic sea views, while nearby cycling routes wind through some of the island’s most scenic landscapes.

With the A55 just a scenic drive away, Tyddyn Iolyn is perfectly placed for exploring the whole of Anglesey and the majestic Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park beyond.

Let your Anglesey adventure begin at Tyddyn Iolyn—a place where history, nature, and comfort come together in perfect harmony.
