We all enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The layout suited us well as I and my husband stayed on the ground floor (I have mobility issues) while my sister and her husband were upstairs. Our bedroom was spacious and the beds superbly comfortable. I did wonder whether I could get into the bath for my morning shower but managed it. A walk-in shower downstairs would have been easier.
The large kitchen was very well equipped with cutlery, dishes and cooking utensils etc. There was plenty of room for food preparation and there was a good-sized dining table. However, we would have liked some instructions on using the microwave, as it was not straightforward, and the buttons were hard to see. The double oven was simple to use but it would have been a help to get some guidance on using the induction hob, which not everyone has.
We had a problem with the central heating, as we did not know how to operate it, and we found the cottage quite cold in the mornings. It took some days before the agent indicated the control mechanism, but even then it was far from clear how it worked. Obviously we only needed the heating in the mornings as we went out during the day. Again, some instructions were necessary.
Another problem we had was the unreliable broadband and mobile coverage at the cottage, but this is obviously out of the control of the owner. However, a word of warning would have been helpful.
The dining area opened onto the garden, which was really lovely. There was a seating area in a sunny corner with modern garden furniture which we much enjoyed. Our dog loved to explore the garden, and it was well enclosed so we had no worries that he could get out.
The cottage is situated on a quiet lane on the edge of the village of Malltraeth, which is nothing special, but its position at the head of the estuary makes the surrounding area of marshland and lakes a paradise for wildlife, and birds in particular. There are lovely easy walks to be had from the cottage, and it is not far away from Newborough Forest, where you might see red squirrels.
This was our first visit to Anglesey and we were enchanted by it. Driving around is easy and the satnav worked well!
