About this property
An imposing, Victorian manor house, The Manor House is a truly remarkable property from which to spend quality time with friends and family whilst exploring the history-enriched Isle of Anglesey, Wales. Built by the Sheriff of Anglesey in 1866, then later owned by a former Vogue model, you can ensure that this property boasts character and charm. Heading under the bell tower topping the house, salvaged from a shipwreck in Anglesey in 1853, enter into the lofty hallway and kick off your boots before heading into the spacious sitting room where you can all gather together before the woodburning stove, relaxing on the arrangement of sofas or gathering around the table with its feature woodwork base, as you toast to your terrific holiday.
Move through into the kitchen/diner, a bright and airy room with an abundance of natural light flowing through the windows, the chef of the group will delight in concocting tasty treats for the group in here, as the rest of the group gather around the table at the centre of the room for an evening of laughter and entertainment together. If you're seeking a quiet spot to yourself, retreat to the suntrap of the conservatory where you can delve into a good book whilst overlooking the beauty of the countryside outside of the surrounding windows. At the end of a fun-filled day, the cottage offers three delightful bedrooms where you can rest your head, made up of a ground-floor super-king-size benefiting from an en-suite shower room, as well as doubling up as a twin on request, making the perfect place for those less mobile.
Up on the first floor you can find both a family room made up of a king-size and a truckle bed with an en-suite bathroom, perfectly suited to those with young children, along with a further king-size doubling up as twin on request, serviced by the gleaming, family shower room on the ground floor. The delights of the dwelling continue outside, where a luxurious hot tub awaits you to take a dip as you soak in your scenery up close, the perfect way to end any day on your tranquil trip. The position of the property makes a wonderful base for those seeking outdoor excitement in the form of rambling, cycling and all-around adventure seeking, with nearby Valley making a great stop to collect any last-minute amenities or indulge in a rewarding pint in the pub.
Head to Rhosneigr for a day at the coast where you can play on the golden sands and indulge in an ice cream beneath the sun, or take a trip to Holy Island, boasting rich history and ferry trips over to Ireland for an experience like no other. The Manor House is a true idyll of a property to base your next family retreat to Wales.
Rhosneigr is situated on the beautiful west coast of Anglesey, famous for its spectacular cliffs and magnificent sandy beaches. The village has a varied history including a 6th century church, tales of smugglers, famous off-shore shipwrecks and from the Edwardian era it has been a fashionable holiday destination. Today it is known for its magnificent beaches and renowned watersports, providing some of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing in the UK, with tuition available in the village. Activities include fishing, sailing, sand yachting, wreck diving, golf and hours of family fun on the enormous sandy beaches. There are several pubs, restaurants and shops in the village.

Lamps on in windows, a Christmas tree in the main window, very welcoming! All the rooms are big and spacious, kitchen had everything we needed, including roasting tin for the turkey, Yorkshire pudding tins, cooling trays, you name it it was here! The dogs had also been catered for, blankets, towels, dog treats and emergency dog food if required. The garden to the rear is nice and big, but as we had 2 danes with us we used the enclosed paddock to the right of the main gate as you went up the drive from the house! The dogs loved their off lead zoomies! All in All this property is absolutely amazing and definitely booking again, but maybe in the summer next time! But in saying that whilst we had a lovely lightening show across the sky out the back of property and fierce winds, some rain, it didn't dampen our whole experience, we loved being at The Manor House in every way! Thank you!

A truly beautiful place to stay with great rooms & views. The hot tub has the best view of the jets practicing from the nearby RAF base! I have marked down slightly on cleanliness & facilities/maintenance due to the obvious damp on some of the walls, with patchy paintwork to try & cover some of it. There was some mould on the grout/sealant in the bathrooms as well. There were limited utensils in the kitchen - no baking trays for instance. There also weren't any books or boardgames/cards available, as I'd expect in a cottage of this standard.
