Peaceful bolthole with views over Eglwys Cwyfan and the beach
On the coast and surrounded by nature, come for dark skies, fabulous walking and an iconic view of
Eglwys Cwyan (the little Church in the sea)
There’s a spiritual feel to this whole place and it’s not a surprise really when you learn about its
history – the tiny medieval church sits on the tidal island called Cribinau, once there was an ancient
royal house down the road at Aberffraw and that was built on preshistoric Roman settlement.
You can read all about it in your cosy semi-detached home by a roaring fire and stare through the
patio doors at the sea. A picture window in the dining area is a great spot to plan your adventures
with a glass of wine and a fish supper. Inside is generous, light-filled and roomy with serene,
panoramic views are far-reaching to tempt you outside again and again. Or spill outside on sunny
days and set up for an evening and be part of the view.
The kitchen is scrupulously shiny with sleek stone surfaces, space for prepping and big views. The
main dual aspect king bedroom is large and light. A double and a king bedroom feel fresh and
contemporary. A gleaming bathroom offers a bath and a sparkling shower for a fresh start to each
day. Perfect for big groups too is next door Penrhyn Isa Un – together both houses can sleep 12.
So, bring the dog and the gang and stride along ancient paths along the coast to Rhosneigr. There
are many coves and sandy expanses to explore and round it up with a beer and a hearty meal at The
Sandy Mount. Breakfast at the Ty Llewellyn is an easy walk and the pub there brings a welcome local
cheer.
Cyclists will head to Newborough Forest and Warren for an off-road circular route with a long
section by the coast. Wildlife lovers will like watching red squirrels scramble the trees.
Artists and writers will steep themselves in the peaceful, creative vibe of Malltraeth. The sheer cliff
faces at South Stack near Holyhead provide nesting sites for large numbers birds including puffins,
guillemots and choughs.
Petrol heads will pop across the bay to Trac Môn Anglesey Circuit to watch motor sport racing or join
in. Please note the roar of engines may accompany your glass of wine on a still evening if the sports
are on.
Or if it’s too much activity just stay put, keep it simple and watch the stars come out.
