United KingdomBeautiful location, and close to the south stack which was our first stop the following day! Very friendly staff and a very delicious breakfast delivered to the room!
United KingdomWe had the Snowdonia twin room which was perfect for us. The views of the Porth Darfach and the mountains beyond were fabulous. The room was clean and well appointed with lovely touches such as bathrobes and slippers, extra blankets on the bed, a dog bed, blanket, bowls and treats for my friend's dog and plenty of tea and coffee supplies. Covid restrictions meant that we couldn't eat breakfast in the dining room so we had a gorgeous breakfast delivered to our room each day. In addition, on our second night we couldn't find anywhere to eat as all the restaurants were still closed but our hosts allowed us to use the microwave to heat ready meals and provided us with crockery, cutlery and glassware.
United KingdomCoastal Views, location close to Trearddur Bay and only 6 mins from Holyhead and the retail parks.
