  • "We love it here!"

    Wonderful views from the cottage. Great sized living room/kitchen. Comfy super king-size bed. Lovely owner Gwyneth who made a field available for our 4 dogs to have a run around and provided milk and wine and brought us some eggs too! This is the 3rd time we've been here since last December and will be booking to come again very soon!

    A great place to either sit relax and do nothing or as a base to explore the area. The property totally met or expectations and the owner Gwyneth was a wonderful and welcoming host. Somewhere we would recommend and defiantly visit again.

    The cottage is beautiful and plenty of room for us and 4 dogs. The view from the cottage was amazing. There was a welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits, milk and a bottle of wine! It only took a few minutes for the cottage to heat up and was warm and cosy. We met Gwyneth the owner who was very friendly...nothing was too much trouble.

    Great views. Lovely and quite. Nice property and very clean. Great value. Very friendly owner. Nice welcome pack. If we were being picky then the poor WiFi speed can be an issue if you want to watch anything on your tablet or phone. But if you want to get away and feel relaxed then you won't go wrong here. We have been here 5 times so far. So that says it all.

    Debra welcomed us as Gwyneth was on holiday, but she popped round to see us when she returned. The welcome pack was lovely and the fresh milk a thoughtful extra. The addition of the donkeys to the livestock was very nice to see each morning and one of my dogs became quite friendly with one of them , the use of a couple of fields to exercise the dogs was also an unexpected treat for them to have safe free run. I can't rate this property and owner high enough. As expected it was fantastic and the weather was bright and sunny for the whole fortnight. Thank you for a lovely holiday

  • "A beautiful Cottage in a perfect location ."

    The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because there seems to be an ongoing problem with the water pressure which made showering almost impossible, so much so that we left on the Tuesday of our stay . We were so disappointed at having to leave as we loved it there and we would certainly go back if the Water Pressure problem was resolved which I’m sure it will be . Gwyneth the owner was lovely and gave us our money back for the nights we didn’t stay.

    It was remote enough to enjoy the peace and tranquilty but, just a short drive away from places of interest. Plenty of walks, climbs and beautiful coastal views.

  • "No soap in the bathroom."

    No contact from the landlady until the last minute. No instructions for cooker/heating/wifi/local facilities. No cooker hood light bulb and worst of all, no corkscrew. And despite on departure, re keys, no acknowledgement. Rather disappointed with the whole experience.

    Thank you for your feedback. We did notify you by phone that we were going away during your stay. We left our mobile number for any problems and we didnt get any contact from you during your stay. We cant leave any paper instructions and leaflets in the properties due to Covid guidelines. The heating can be switched off and on by a switch in the property, you can also change the temperature as well. We dont provide soap and other items as the cottage is self catering so customers would need to provide their own items. Once again, thanks for your feedback. Property Owner

    Soft furnishings had been kept to minimum due to covid19 and the requirement to deep clean after each visit. Very suitable for taking a dog. The owner was unobtrusive but hospitable, popping round to check all ok and leaving much appreciated milk and eggs and offering suggestions of places to visit. Anglesey is the most beautiful holiday destination and there were so many coves and walks and places to visit, we did not have enough time to see everything we wanted to. Cant wait to go back.

She gave me a very warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. An excellent location for someone looking for a peaceful holiday, but the cottages are located at the centre of a working farm, which although didn't bother me in the least bit might disturb some people. An excellent base from which to explore Anglesey and North Wales. Would definitely consider going back to this property again. Was very suitable for the dog as well being on one floor and having a front garden which was secure. Would recommend the property to friends.

Bodwarren Farm

Holyhead 1.3 miles. These six lovely properties are set on the owners’ 70 acre working livestock farm, in a rural location, close to the town and ferry port of Holyhead on Anglesey. With stunning sea and mountain views that can be seen from the farm, these holiday homes are ideal for couples, families and friends with a number of attractions and places to visit within easy reach. Y Wennol and Y Wylan offer single-storey accommodation and both sleep two people, whilst Y Barcud and Bran Goesgoch sleep six each. Cysgod y Bugail and Llety'r Bugail are two delightful little shepherd's huts also sleeping two each. All properties share a courtyard area to park cars, and four have an enclosed garden with a lawned area, patio and furniture whilst the two huts provide peaceful decked balconies, a perfect setting to enjoy an alfresco dinner at the end of the day. Although these charming retreats are in quiet location, there’s something for everyone nearby, including a visit to the town of Holyhead which has remains of Roman town walls and forts, a colourful marina, maritime museum, shops and pubs. Holyhead is also a main ferry point for Ireland, so a day trip to Dublin may be on the cards! Also close by is the Breakwater Country Park, a former quarry, from where you may be able to spot seals who visit the Holyhead coast. Just over three miles away is the resort of Trearddur Bay, with its sandy beaches and watersports. Other places of interest are cliff top walks over Holyhead Mountain, and South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve is well worth a visit. All this and much, much more can enjoyed from these welcoming holiday homes.

About the location

HOLYHEAD

Trearddur Bay 3 miles.

The bustling town of Holyhead rests on the North West coast of the Isle of Anglesey, the largest town on the island and perhaps known best for being the main ferry port to Ireland. Steeped in history, the town boasts the remains of Roman town walls and forts, medieval burial chambers and stone village foundations. Explore the Breakwater Country Park, a former quarry, which offers designated walks through the grounds. The park is full of interesting wildlife, most notably the seals who visit the Holyhead coast, and outlines the amazing construction of the world's longest breakwater, some 1.8 miles, which today protects the harbour. Visit the colourful marina with its yachts and tall ships, or the town's maritime museum, with its tales of 100 shipwrecks in the vicinity. Day trips to Ireland can be enjoyed easily from here, with Dublin just 90 minutes away on the fast ferry. With spectacular cliff top walks over Holyhead Mountain, golden sandy beaches at the award winning Trearddur Bay and the Snowdonia National Park just a 20 minute drive away, this is a superb holiday location, at any time of the year.
