Good sized barn conversation in an elevated position with good views towards Anglesey across the Menai Straits.
The owners are very pleasant and whilst living close by, they do not intrude.
The accommodation is split over two levels and is a two person property.
On the ground floor is a spacious bedroom with patio windows overlooking the view.
Next door is a spacious well equipped kitchen / diner with the same windows & views.
Upstairs is the lounge, accessed from the kitchen by a spiral staircase.
The staircase is quite steep and has polished wood treads. Take care or you could easily loose your footing.
Downstairs on the other side of the kitchen is the bathroom. this was a bit of a let down as it is very compact, could have done with being another two foot wider. I see no reason why they could not have made it wider as there is extra space in an empty room at the end of the property that the owner seems to use as a storage area, if fact it was larger than the bathroom.
Whilst the property was clean and reasonably equipped, it does miss the extra touches to warrant the 5 star rating that Sykes give the property.
There was no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk.
The only TV in the property was in the upstairs lounge and it took a little while to get used to using the two remotes needed to get a picture.
A TV on the wall in the kitchen / dining area would have been a bonus.
Wheelchair Users - Whilst there is wheelchair access to the bedroom from outside, and from there into the kitchen / dining room, the bathroom would be out of bounds unless you could walk in.
The property is quite high up and the walk to the village shop & pub is only recommended for the fittest of people. It is exceedingly steep so be warned - better to take the car or get a taxi if you are going to the pub.
There is little choice for eating out in the area, so be prepared to travel or eat in.
The property is however conveniently situated for exploring Anglesey, Snowdonia, The Llyn Peninsular and beyond.
Would we return? Well maybe, but there are much more comfortable properties available in the area and especially over in Anglesey.
