Guests say
Hen Felin Isaf is a charming cottage in a truly stunning, peaceful location right by Red Wharf Bay, offering breathtaking sea views and direct beach access. Guests consistently praise the well-equipped, dog-friendly accommodation, the warm and helpful hosts, and the relaxing atmosphere. While a few mention minor cleaning or maintenance issues, the overwhelming feedback highlights comfort, excellent facilities, and the perfect setting for a tranquil getaway. The cottage is ideal for walkers, families, and dog owners seeking a memorable coastal retreat.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with particular praise for the kitchen and bedding. However, a small number noted issues such as mould in the bathroom, unclean tiles, and occasional missed spots like the fridge or skirting boards. Overall, cleanliness is good but with some room for improvement.
The location is universally praised as outstanding, with panoramic sea views, direct beach access, and beautiful sunsets. The peaceful, secluded setting is a highlight, though the steep, narrow access lane is mentioned as a minor challenge by some.
Guests frequently describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and homely, with warm heating and comfy beds. A few reviews mention older mattresses or limited lounge seating, but these are outweighed by positive comments about restful stays and well-furnished rooms.
The cottage is well equipped with modern appliances, a dishwasher, washing machine, and everything needed for self-catering. Some guests noted a need for minor updates or maintenance, but most found the facilities excellent and appreciated the enclosed garden and dog-friendly features.
The hosts are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful without being intrusive. Some guests mention thoughtful touches such as fires being lit before arrival, but as gifts or extras are not consistently referenced, these cannot be guaranteed.
About this property
A lovely, detached, single-storey cottage overlooking the Blue Flag beach at Llanddona, Red Wharf Bay. With lovely sea views and well-equipped accommodation, this cosy Anglesey cottage makes a great year-round base. Note: This cottage can be booked with Ref. 3939 to sleep 10.
Red Wharf Bay or in Welsh, Traeth Coch meaning Red Beach is 4.5 miles long and is located along the North Eastern coast of Anglesey. As the bay is shallow at low tide, 25 square kilometres (10 square miles) of sand is uncovered. This allows opportunities for bathing, swimming and fishing to take place, plus for walkers there are many delightful paths. Red Wharf Bay attracts many birds and waterfowl. From shell duck and purple sandpipers to curlew, dunlin and grey plover, this makes the bay a haven for bird watchers. Less then five miles away is the wonderful historic town of Beaumaris which offers a 13th century castle, shops, pubs, restaurants, museums, a golf course and boat trips. Red Wharf Bay is an ideal base for a peaceful break all year round.
