Salty toes are a must if you stay at Bodwarren. Located right by sandy dunes, the beaches are all tantalisingly close. Porth Tyn Towyn is a four minute stroll away along a secret path. This is a beach retreat for laid-back guests tucked between the road to Aberffraw and the sea (if you’re looking for mod cons and manicured perfection you won’t find it here). The semi-detached cottage is a compact and comfortable, but simple nook - brilliantly placed for beachcombing, walking and dogs.

It is set back from a busy road but you are soon away from it all as you walk down the path to the beach. Penlon is next door (semi-detached) and can be booked to combine family stays and garden suppers together.

Step into a sitting room with a plump sofa positioned in front of a wood-burner. There's a simple kitchen with views over the fields to gaze out whilst cooking. If you'd rather head out for dinner, the much-loved The Oyster Catcher is only a two-minute drive around the corner. Or in fine weather enjoy a glass of wine (or two!) in the sunny garden at the back.

A small and simple double room has a brass bedstead and an elegant charm. The twin room houses bunk beds and is compact. The basic bathroom has a shower for a long brisk wash

Rhosneigr is not far with the award winning Broad Beach (Traeth Llydan). There is sailing, surfing, sea fishing and windsurfing, and for those who want to try something different, kite surfing lessons are available in the village there. Here too you will find cafes, restaurants, an art gallery, pubs and quirky shops.
