This rustic, detached holiday home feels like a lodge-style hideaway in the sweeping Anglesey (North Wales) countryside, which you can view from your garden and private outdoor hot tub. If you can drag yourself away from this luxurious hideout, visit Menai Bridge (2 miles), a picturesque town beside a sea channel with an impressive bridge that leads to mainland Wales. Dine together at the traditional pubs or delightful restaurants, including the Michelin Starred Sosban & The Old Butchers. Fancy a day trip? Seaside town Beaumaris (5 miles) has a Victorian pier and an historic castle to discover, while there are many Blue Flag beaches around Anglesey - like Llanddona Beach (6 miles), for making memories on the scenic sands.
You’ll be impressed as soon as you enter this stylish barn conversion into the ground-floor, open-plan living area that’s rustic with ceiling beams and wooden floors. Underfloor heating across the ground floor keeps guests snug no matter the weather. The lounge is ideal for relaxation, with space for guests to kick back together across the three leather sofas which face the big TV and cosy wood burner. Patio doors leading to your private rear garden offer lots of light and some tree views. On sunny evenings, fling them open and socialise throughout this spacious, flowing area. Group dinners can be prepared in the stylish kitchen, complete with a range cooker and a Tassimo coffee machine. Fire up the latter and enjoy your brew in one of the comfy seating spots, inside or out. The dining table, with stylish pendant lights hanging above, seats all eight guests. A handy utility cupboard houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, each luxuriously cosy with ceiling beams and large patio doors and windows that lead to the paved area out front, so you can enjoy al fresco relaxation and green views from when you wake up. The super-king-size bedroom (comprised of zip-and-link beds that can rearrange as two singles on request) has a TV and an en-suite with a bath and a separate double rain shower, offering indulgent private pampering. There’s also a twin bedroom that can rearrange as a super-king on request, thanks to zip-and-link beds, and a king-size (with one step leading down to it) with an en-suite rain shower. The ground floor is complete with a bathroom that benefits from a bath alongside a separate double rain shower. Head upstairs to find the cosiest room of all: a double with beamed ceilings, skylight windows, a chaise longue and a TV that you can enjoy from the comfort of your bed.
Continue outdoors to find two enclosed gardens: the front garden, accessed-by-steps and with a paved area, lawn and a bench, and a rear garden with a paved area and lawn that makes a perfect socialising spot thanks to its many amenities and vast countryside views. Here, choose to relax on the bench or reclining sun loungers, dine alfresco at the small picnic table, or enjoy a soak in the bubbling swim spa hot tub (accessed via steps), which takes in countryside views from its raised patio.
