Description

Llangefni 4.9 miles.

Tucked away on the outskirts of Gwalchmai near Llangefni, Anglesey, is this fantastic, detached cottage, Old Tollgate.

It was built in 1823 by Thomas Telford to collect the tolls.

Thomas Telford also built the picturesque bridge over the Menai Straits.

Formerly the tollgate for the Holyhead to Llangefni road and within easy reach of the local amenities, Old Tollgate is a wonderful pet-friendly retreat for a couple, plus their small canine companion who are looking to embark on their next adventure to North Wales.

Be welcomed into the conservatory, where on cooler days, your morning coffee can be savoured in an armchair as you bask in the warmth of the electric-effect woodburning stove.

Make your way through to the kitchen, where you can look forward to rustling up culinary delights for your loved one, ready to be enjoyed at the intimate dining table for two in the dining room.

After a satisfying meal, retire to the plush sofa in the sitting room, where you can snuggle up with your better half and watch a film on the TV, as the open fire crackles nearby.

Wash away the day in the well-appointed wet room before wrapping yourself in a warm towel, courtesy of the heated towel rail.

When sleep calls, retreat to the lovely double bedroom to catch your rest.

Awake from a leisurely slumber and climb the stairs to the first floor, where you can pour in the bubbles and indulge in a soothing soak in the beautiful roll top bath, with the added bonus of a bath tray to rest your favourite book on!

Explore your local surroundings, where you will find the welcoming Tafarn Y Rhos just a short drive away, offering tasty meals and local ales, all within a delightful, pet-friendly setting.

Continue on towards Llangefni, where there is an excellent choice of eateries, along with scenic walking opportunities along the Afon Cefni and through The Dingle Nature Reserve, a great opportunity to spot the local wildlife particularly red squirrels.

For a day at the beach, head over to Benllech where you can bathe on the sands, paddle the clear waters and easily access the delights of the nearby Red Wharf Bay.

In the other direction are the beaches and dunes of Aberffraw tn enjoy, which are where Prince William and Kate enjoyed many enjoyable walks.

If you and your other half are looking to test out your clubs, the Storws Wen Golf Club is readily available offering 9-holes through impressive parkland as well as Rhosneigr Golf Club also.

Further afield, you will find Holyhead, here you can embark on the expansive Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path which boasts some of the best views in the area, along with its own golf club, a picturesque marina and a ferry service which offers trips over to Dublin, a fabulous choice for a memorable day trip!

Whisk your loved one for a getaway to Old Tollgate.

The Accommodation was fabulous, lovely and cosy , exceptionally clean and very comfortable.

Jan the owner was lovely and the Welcome Pack very much appreciated . The only reason I did not give 5* rating is because of the parking which is about 30 yards away from the Accommodation which I was aware of but the road is a pretty busy A Road and because of the time of the Year there were a lot of Tractors and Farm Vehicles which took advantage of the 60 mph speed limit which also made it quite noisy but this didn’t bother my Husband or the Dog ( I must have sensitive hearing

Apologies for overlooking writing this review, but here goes and just where do I begin!

First impressions of Old Tollgate were exactly as seen on the website and although as stated on a busy road, was sat beautiful at the side of a field with lovley views. Entering this gorgeous cottage which is deemed in history , through the lovley conservatory, gave a fantastic first impression. From then on we were just blown away with the rest of the cottage. The cleanliness firstly was second to none. The whole cottage immaculate, and an absolute credit to the cleaner. Each room had its own quirkiness and Jan the owner really has thought about the design in depth. I really don't know where to begin with the fabulous bathroom with the rolltop bath and the quirky sewing machine washbasin stand. Jan. You're an absolute credit for your ideas throughout, but the bathroom blew us away! Jan came to meet us and is such a lovley, knowledgeable lady. She even gave me a mini craft lesson lol when expressing my interest , which I already plan to do with my group of ladies! I must mention also the amazing welcome package. Literally the best we've ever received, and our labrador Finn was absolutely delighted with his welcome pack also, and his new ball which he plays with daily. To do this, it shows the kind of person Jan is. To sum up the week we had at Old Tollgate, it was without question fantastic, so relaxing, and without doubt we will most certainly be back. Loved it! Thanks Jan. Mandy, Gary and Finn the lab.

Very sweet holiday cottage, very clean and with everything we needed provided including eggs, milk and butter plus a welcome pack of extra treats which was gratefully received after a long journey.

Jan was a lovely host and checked in to make sure all ok and to provide directions to best beaches etc. You do hear road noise at the cottage but we were aware of this when booking from previous reviews and cottage notes on the booking info and it didn’t prevent us having 5 really good nights of sleep. Great location for easy access to all local facilities, thanks for a great stay!
