An inspiring Hideaway for six by the sea with Llanddona Beach at the bottom of the garden
A grand spot to swim, fish, walk – simple pleasures in a sublime setting on the beach. You couldn’t fail to feel happy here – with so much space inside and out, it’s a peach of a place to stay in any weather.
Ty Mawr sits in an enviable spot at Llanddona – a simple semi-detached stone cottage that has sat in its landscape for hundreds of years and soaked in views. Larger groups can also take the cottage next door Ty Gwyn, a sweet hideaway for grandparents or those wishing to flee the general throng. There’s masses of space if both Ty Gwyn and Ty Mawr are booked together -an ideal place for inter-generational family gatherings (Ty Gwyn Mawr).
Arrive and fling open the doors to enjoy the salty air, choose a book and head for the reading spot on the mezzanine or by the patio doors with the wonderful views - the sunsets are spectacular.Spot sea birds with the telescope and gaze at ships at sea. Outside are chairs for sundowners or lazy suppers. When it cools, take a blanket, stoke the fire and watch the sun drop over the sea with a beer.
Upstairs is a swish double bedroom, all very traditional, comfortable and pretty gorgeous sea views and an ensuite. Plus, an attic room -small but perfectly formed for a good sleep. The double bedroom on the ground floor is traditionally fabulous, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom with the perfectly poised bath is very seductive for the soak after a salty day on the beach.
There’s a place for you on Loaf velvet sofas and sumptuous cushions in the cosy living room by the log-burner. Lovely art on the walls – this is the place for those who seek peace. Cook as a team in the vast kitchen with Aga cooker and masses of kit – you could easily cook Christmas lunch for 12 if you have booked both houses! Cooking will be a breeze and there’s space for everyone to help at the big table. The squashy Loaf sofa is perfect to watch the goings on.
Outdoors you’ll find a large garden with lawns for tumbling on, views to the water, barbecue and outdoor table and chairs- the best spot for stargazing.
Wander in the car to Beaumaris for excellent food, stock up at the little quirky shops and get an ice cream at the Red Boat. Walk one way and meander over the beach to Red Wharf Bay for breakfast at the Boathouse or lunch at the Ship Inn. In the other direction the coastal trails lead to peaceful Penmon along coastal heaven.
All is delightful…
