Description

The Dairy was previously a working dairy, which has been beautifully renovated to combine traditional character and charm with carefully selected contemporary furnishings. Set in its own grounds on the outskirts of the quiet yet accessible village of Llandegfan between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris on Anglesey, this detached cottage is a stunning place from which to enjoy a holiday.

'for relaxed dining in a vibrant atmosphere try Dylans in Menai Bridge, or for a truly unique experience go to Sospan and the Old Butchers (book well in advance!)' from Jacky, our local property manager

The Cottage: The Dairy is arranged on a single level so suitable for those with limited mobility, but with one step up to the master bedroom and two steps down from the dining area into the lounge and the second bedroom. The flooring is attractive stone throughout.

Living Room: this large open-plan living dining room is beautifully presented and enjoys high cathedral style ceilings. There are two generous sofas, a flatscreen Smart TV with Netflix/ DVD/CD player, WiFi and a good selection of books and magazines. The dining area has a wooden table with seating for six.

Kitchen: the simple Shaker style kitchen has a Belfast sink, wooden surfaces and includes a dishwasher and washer/dryer. It is styled with reminders of the cottages' heritage as a dairy such as slate window sills, a milk churn and butter paddles.

There are two tasteful bedrooms

Bedroom 1: the spacious main bedroom is a beautiful room with a high ceiling and super king size bed and plenty of storage

Bedroom 2: is a beamed twin bedroom, which can be arranged as a double if preferred, although access to the bed is restricted to the one side in this configuration.

Shower room:  boasts a large walk-in tiled shower with a separate WC and basin opposite.

Outside: The Dairy is located in an enclosed spacious and private courtyard surrounded by traditional stone walls. There is garden seating for four within the courtyard along with a barbecue, fire pit and ample off-road parking for cars/boat. Secure bike storage available.

Guests are warmly invited to explore the wonderful gardens of the neighbouring Farmhouse - a formal terrace with pond and raised planters plus a traditional walled garden - both featured in The Telegraph - also an orchard, swing and seating positioned to admire the views. Nearby Beaumaris has a historic castle and gaol and is in a lovely position on the Menai straits. Walks can be taken along the coast to the spectacular Penmon Point with its ancient priory, dove cote and lighthouse. Boat trips can be taken to explore Puffin Island and its wildlife, or rib rides for the more adventurous. The small town of Menai Bridge (along with Beaumaris) has many lovely independent shops and a good selection of quality cafes and restaurants. The National Trust's Plas Newydd with its spectacular house and gardens is a short drive away whilst just across the Menai Straits is the city of Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park.

Dogs are made to feel very welcome at The Dairy; the courtyard is safe and enclosed and there is an outside tap and hose for cleaning muddy paws. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Reviews

Lovely cosy cottage, very private with a large secure yard for dogs and kids. Great location for visiting fantastic beaches and the beautiful little town of Beaumaris. And close to Menai bridge to give easy access to the mountains.

Mr T,

This is our 3rd visit to The Dairy, and it won’t be the last. Very comfortable and the fully enclosed large outsider space was perfect for our dog. The owners really do care . They even posted a left item back to me. Can’t thank them enough. Will definitely return.

Mr H,

The Dairy is in a great location for exploring Angelsey. The house is warm, clean and well equipped. It is completely private having a huge enclosed courtyard space with seating facing in all directions so if there is any sun you can enjoy it!! Plenty of footpaths around for dog walking . Some lovely art works!

Ms S,

The location being a hundred yards away from the road meant it was quiet and very relaxing the property overall was well appointed.

Mr M,

Beautiful cottage in stunning location with amazing views,quiet and peaceful and Mary and Colin were very helpful full of local knowledge for best places to visit and eat we loved it and can't wait to go back .

Mrs W,

The Dairy surpassed all our expectations : Colin and Mary are fabulous hosts and make you feel very welcome , attentive but not intrusive . The location is fabulous , amazing views ,very quiet and the walled garden was excellent for our dog. The accommodation is very well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay . There is a convenience store close by and Menai town centre is a 5 minute drive with lots of independent shops and restaurants. The property is well positioned for travel around the island and there is plenty to see and do. We had a fantastic week and I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at the dairy

Mr N,

Excellent cottage in a lovely area. Spacious living area with ample seating. Kitchen compact but contains everything that is needed. Shower had plenty of space and good pressure. Comfortable super king bed. Owners couldn't be more helpful.

Mrs W,

This is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. The owners were on hand and very helpful with showing us round the cottage when we arrived and suggesting places to visit/eat. The cottage is well equipped on the whole and very comfortable. The dogs loved the secure outside space to run around and patrol for birds! The outside seating areas were lovely. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too kind to us and we weren't able to make full use of these.

Mrs B,

The Dairy is a very comfortable well equipped warm cottage. Owners very friendly and attentive. Good position for exploring Anglesey and N Wales.

Excellent location for exploring Anglesey and a super comfortable converted barn to stay in.

Prof W,

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Dairy, fabulous location, great facilities and such a cosy warm cottage.

Miss R,

This is the second time we have visited The Dairy and we will definitely be returning in the future. Very warm and welcoming with everything you need for a lovely break. The enclosed courtyard was perfect for our dog. Ideal location with lovely quiet beaches a short drive away. Perfect for us. Many thanks to the helpful owners.

Mr H,

A wonderful holiday cottage with high standard of finishing and safe enclosed courtyard for our dog. Walks around the lovely and owners in adjacent property are fabulous. Almost too nice to let other people know about it! A not so secret gem and we are already booked to return next year.

Mrs H,

Having never been to Anglesey before this was a good base to explore from. The enclosed yard area was ideal and safe for our dog, with several footpath directed walks off the lane where the cottage is located. Well equipped and in a lovely quiet location, there are many lovely beaches that are dog friendly and easy to find, also some costal route walks as a contrast to the beach itself. There are several places of interest to see, we went for a week, but may return to see th places we didn’t get to see. A relaxing week away.

Mrs C,

We had a lovey time and were met warmly by the owner. The place was well kept, clean and an excellent base to explore the surrounding area. We would highly recommend and will definitely visit again in the future when we are in Anglesey again. 10 out of 10.

Mr C,

Wonderful property. Absolutely spotless with very friendly and helpful hosts.

Mr C,

The Dairy was the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed in a lot. Couldn't be improved - other than maybe the weather in North Wales!

Mrs Merryl J,

Without doubt the best place we have stayed with our dogs . Fully enclosed courtyard, perfectly equipped and very comfortable accommodation in a great location. Easy access into Beaumaris or Menai bridge (walk , bus or drive depending on your preference) Mary and Colin couldn’t have been any more helpful. We are already looking at when we can book for next year.

Mrs M,

Lovely cottage, very private with lovely hosts. We were provided with a host of recommendations for days out & meals. Accommodation was spotless and we were able to walk our dog in the grounds. This is an ideal base for exploring the island with its amazing beaches & walks. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage and cannot thank our hosts, Colin & Mary for looking after us and making us feel so welcome.

Mr Clive F,

Map

The Dairy is located on the outskirts of the village of Llandegfan in a convenient spot between Beaumaris and Menai Bridge. Exploring nearby Beaumaris is a must with its castle (built as part of Edward I's campaign to conquer the north of Wales) and gaol.

Head out on the Anglesey section of the Wales Coast Path (a length of 125 miles in total), walks can be taken along the coast to the spectacular Penmon Point with its ancient priory, dove cote and lighthouse.

A great way to explore the wildlife of the area is to take a boat trip down the Menai Straits, boats leave from Beaumaris sea front. You can also experience the Menai Straits by speed boat with Rib Ride departing from Menai Bridge.

Other Anglesey attractions Anglesey include, Plas Newydd (a National Trust site) the Copper Mountain with its surreal lunar landscape, Anglesey Oyster Festival in October and Bryn Celli Ddu's well preserved stone-age burial chamber near Llanddaniel Fab. Take a tour around Llynnon Mill - the only working Wind Mill in Wales and visit Oriel Tegfryn Art Gallery, the longest established Gallery in Wales.

For families there’s Anglesey Sea Zoo and Pili Palas and a short bridge crossing to mainland North Wales offers even more family attractions including Greenwood Forest Park with all sorts of adventures and Hwylfan Fun Centre, North Wales' largest indoor fun centre.
